Another gender old-wife tale....

My friends aunt was a nurse in the maternity ward for 30 years and she says she goes by how early you feel the baby kick to tell the gender.

If you feel movement early = Girl
Later on = Boy

For me she was right I felt flutters at 14 weeks and full on kicks by 17 weeks. At 21 I'm feeling rolls and larger thumps.

Okay, so if this is true I am probably having a Chat Icon I think I felt flutters earlier this week (14 wks.).

We'll see when I go for my 20 week scan.

Re: Another gender old-wife tale....

i heard this old-wives tale from my beloved italian grandmother -

except she said :

early movements = boy
late movements = girl

She had 3 boys and felt them all very early on - she said she just knew they would be boys b/c of that every time she was pregnant.

I felt DD around 17/18 weeks
This pregnancy - not to much movement at 18 weeks - don't know what that means - according to my nonna it would be a girl (she was right about it the right time) - this time something tells me i am going to have a boy - ill let you know!

If this is true then I would guess I'm having a boy.
