A few weeks ago, we found of the sex of our baby due in June. Before we found out, I thought it would be fun to test a few old wives tales and see how they measured up to the actual sex of the baby. Below are a few of the results I got.
1. Ring Test
Dangle a chain with a charm over your palm. If it swings back and forth: you are having a boy, in a circle, you are having a girl.
Prediction: Girl
2. Acne
If you have acne while pregnant, it’s a girl. It’s thought that acne during pregnancy is caused by the extra hormones.
Prediction: Girl
3. Cravings If you are craving citrus fruit and orange juice, you are having a little girl.
Prediction: Girl
4. Mood Changes If you are really moody, you are having a girl since you have another extra girl hormones in you. Your pregnancy will make you smile and be more happy if you are having a boy.
Prediction: Girl
Prediction: Girl
5. Penny Test Lick your thumb, then wipe it on the penny and press the penny against a wall. Hold it with the same thumb for 30 seconds. If the penny sticks to the wall, your are having a girl, if it falls, a boy.
Prediction: Boy
Prediction: Girl
7. Even and Odd
Legend has it that the Mayans determined a baby's sex by looking at the mother's age at conception and the year of conception. If both are even or odd, it's a girl. If one's even and one's odd, it's a boy.
Prediction: Boy
8. Side You Most Rest On If a pregnant woman prefers to lay on her left side, she’s having a boy. If she prefers resting on her right side, she’s having a girl.
Prediction outcome: Girl
9. Morning Sickness If you had a smooth pregnancy with no morning sickness, it’s a boy. If you were sick or felt really nauseous during your pregnancy, count on a girl.
Prediction: Girl
10. Protein If you crave meat and cheese, count on a boy.
Prediction: Boy
11. Palm Test If you are asked to show your hands, it's a boy if you keeps her palms down and a girl if you shows your palms up.
Prediction: Girl
GIRL = 8
BOY= 3
Stay tuned because on Friday I will be revealing the sex of our baby but in the meantime, what's your prediction, boy or girl?
*this post is just for entertainment purposes, there is no scientific backing to any of theses predictions.
I'll go with the predictions and say girl!
