ROFL

Ok - get your wedding ring - or just a ring that you have worn for AGES - get a piece of your hair, slide the ring along it, grab both ends of the hair and hold it very still over your belly.

It should move.

Side to side for a boy - circles for a girl.

do i hold both ends of the hair in each hand so the hair is horizontal? or do i hang the ring on it and bring the 2 ends together on top?

sorry lol
just wanna make sure im doing it right :P

[Arimeh]

Sorry - you sorta hang the ring in the middle and hold the ends on top.

[Now we're 3]

Does it have to be a hair or can a piece of string do as well?

[first_time_mummy]

hi, i think its mean to be hair, your hair...as its part of the mother involved then.

FTM -

Here is the articale from the BB homepage

The Wedding Ring Over The Belly Trick!
Get your wedding ring (or other ring/needle/pin) and attach it with a strand of your hair or some string. Lie down and dangle the ring over your belly. If it starts moving in circles, you are having a boy, or if it moves like a pendulum from side to side, then you are having a girl.

Hope this helps

Different sites/articles give different advice on this, I always thought side to side was a boy and circles a girl
Anyway I did the test and mine was side to side so I thought boy either way I'm happy

[Now we're 3]

How did you on Friday Stevie W? Pink or blue?

I did the test on Saturday night and twice (with two different girl friends holding the string) it went in circles - but am confused as some places say this is girl and some say boy!

Anyways all a bit of a giggle eitherway.
