    Wink Boy or Girl? Old Wives Tales and Gender Prediction. Have Fun!

    Even though these old wives' tales are far from foolproof, they are certainly more fun than their more reliable successors, amniocentesis and ultrasound. Enjoy guessing your baby's sex!


    It's a boy if:


    You didn't experience morning sickness in early pregnancy
    Your baby's heart rate is less than 140 beats per minute
    At your 20 week scan HB sounds like a train/locomotive
    You are carrying the extra weight out front
    Your belly looks like a basketball
    Your areolas have darkened considerably
    You are carrying low
    You are craving salty or sour foods
    You are craving protein -- meats and cheese
    Your feet are colder than they were before pregnancy
    The hair on your legs has grown faster during pregnancy
    Your hands are very dry
    Your pillow faces north when you sleep
    Dad-to-be is gaining weight, right along with you
    Pregnancy has you looking better than ever
    Your urine is bright yellow in color
    Your nose is spreading
    You hang your wedding ring over your belly and it moves in circles
    You are having headaches
    You add your age at the time of conception and the number for the month you conceived and the sum is an even number


    It's a girl if:


    You had morning sickness early in pregnancy
    Your baby's heart rate is at least 140 beats per minute
    At your 20 week scan HB sounds like horses galloping
    You are carrying the weight in your hips and rear
    Your left breast is larger than your right breast
    Your hair develops red highlights
    You are carrying high
    Your belly looks like a watermelon
    You are craving sweets
    You are craving fruit
    You crave orange juice
    You don't look quite as good as normal during pregnancy
    You are moodier than usual during pregnancy
    Your face breaks out more than usual
    You refuse to eat the heel of a loaf of bread
    Your breasts have really blossomed!
    Your pillow faces south when you sleep
    Your urine is a dull yellow color
    You hang your wedding ring over your belly and it moves from side to side
    You add your age at the time of conception and the number for the month you conceived and the sum is an odd number

    Well I have put a few of those tails to shame!
    Jayvan gave me horribe achne, aweful morning sickness, meat made me want to spew and I couldn't bring myself to eat it on occasions, the number for the conception is 27 and his heart rate was 172 bpm XD

    Atm, I'm a little over 4 weeks pregnant and my skin is clearing up, on the odd occasion I get a wave of queeziness (with hot flushes) but all my stomach really does is rumble at me, I'm buggered by the end of the day and my BB's are killing me!

    A baby girls HB sounds like horses galloping

    A baby boys sounds like a train/locomotive
    NaeNae, that's cute!
