So, I find out this Sunday (2 days!) if the baby I am carrying is a boy or a girl! Hopefully - that is if baby cooperates and is not too modest! Anyway, my BF from high school is an ultrasound tech and she is doing the honors as she did with Shayla! I cannot wait to find out and continue all the fun baby planning (naming, nursery, etc)! I wanted to try out a few of the ways that baby gender is predicted and see if I get a consensus and which ones seem true for me.
CHINESE PREDICTION CALENDAR: Based on mother’s age at baby’s conception and month of conception (although it was the same week as my 30th bday so could be off – if I was 29 it says girl, if I was 30 it says boy): GIRL
MAYAN WAY: The Mayans take the mothers age at conception and the year of conception and add them together. If the result is a even number then mom is having a girl. If the result is an odd number then a boy is on the way! 29+2009 = 2038 = GIRL
PULSE PREDICTION: My Aunt Sheelah has a pretty high success rate with determining baby’s gender if left pulse of mother is stronger it’s a boy, if right pulse is stronger it’s a girl: BOY
CRAVINGS: It is thought that, if you are craving sweets like chocolate, that the gender of your baby will be female. In contrast, your baby would be a boy if you are craving sour things, such as raw lemon juice. I have been craving sour things but also craved sour with Shayla too: BOY
SKIN: If you break out in severe acne, it is predicted that you will have a girl. If your acne is mild, then you will have a boy. I have had bad skin this time! GIRL
MORNING SICKNESS The most common pregnancy symptom, morning sickness, may be able to be used to predict the gender of your baby as well. If you are severely sick, you will be having a boy. Otherwise, you will be having a girl. I had bad morning sickness. BOY
MORNING SICKNESS TIMING: Some people think that the timing of morning sickness is able to predict the gender of your baby, too, with morning sickness in the morning being a boy and morning sickness at night being a girl. I have morning sickness at night. GIRL
RING TEST: Take a pin, needle, or wedding ring and attach it to a thread or strand of hair. Hold the dangling item over mom to be's belly while she is lying down. If the needle or wedding ring swings in a strong circular motion, you will be having a girl. If it moves in a to and fro motion like a pendulum, you will be having a boy. It swung to and fro with 3 tries for me. BOY
So 4 for GIRL and 4 for BOY. Hmm so much for that! Darn it!!! I have kind of been thinking of my baby as a he recently so maybe my intuition is right and it will be a boy, but I would love a little sister for Shay! Who knows?
What are your guesses?
