How do you carry your bump?

What are you craving?

There are also some people who go by what the woman is craving throughout the whole pregnancy. If she is wanting sour or salty foods and treats, then it’s more than likely a boy. Chips, pretzels, and pickles could indicate lots of blue in your future. Whereas cravings for sweets and candies might indicate a baby girl. Cookies, ice cream, chocolate… Could be a girl.

What year did you conceive?

And another interesting indication of the baby’s possible gender actually has numbers involved. If the year of conception and the mother’s age at the conception are both even numbers then it will ensure you that the baby will be a girl. Though if one number is even and the other number is odd, it will be a boy. This has been a practiced way of telling genders by the Mayans for many years.

Other than these, there are other very interesting ways to tell the gender of your baby as well. You can even make it into a game with members of your family and your friends as well. Most of the times these old wives tales do have meaning and truth behind them.
