Baby's Gender - this is cool!

Ladies-
I got this from a TTC website. I know this is just a Chinese Lunar Gender calendar, but I was curious as to how true this really is... Of course these are all in good fun and I don't really believe in all of it. It's still fun to speculate :)

Here are some old wives tales predictions taken from ivillage.com . . .


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
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
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

How can you look better than ever but have your nose spread? That's a funny list! I enjoyed reading it though!

Re: Baby's Gender - this is cool!

Okay so...

I might be having a boy because -
I am craving salty or sour foods
My hands are very dry
I am having headaches

But I might be having a Girl because -
I crave orange juice
My face breaks out more than usual
I don't like the heel of a loaf of bread

Is it an alien? Chat Icon because -
My pillow faces west

Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon We'll all have to check to back to see if any of these were right.

Re: Baby's Gender - this is cool!

Here is where I stand
Boy because:
You are carrying the extra weight out front
Your belly looks like a basketball
Your areolas have darkened considerably
Dad-to-be is gaining weight, right along with you

Girl because:
You had morning sickness early in pregnancy
Your baby's heart rate is at least 140 beats per minute
You are craving sweets
You are craving fruit
You don't look quite as good as normal during pregnancy
Your face breaks out more than usual
You add your age at the time of conception and the number for the month you conceived and the sum is an odd number


So odds are just about 2:1 that I am having a girl....we shall see

I had a boy Chat Icon

Not too accurate for me, but cute wives tales...I had a mixture of everything.

It's a boy if:

You didn't experience morning sickness in early pregnancy I DID HAVE MORNING SICKNESS
Your baby's heart rate is less than 140 beats per minute DON'T KNOW
You are carrying the extra weight out front NO I WASN'T
Your belly looks like a basketball NOPE IT DIDN'T
Your areolas have darkened considerably NOPE THEY DIDN'T
You are carrying low YES I DID
You are craving salty or sour foods YES, BUT I ALSO CRAVED SWEETS
You are craving protein -- meats and cheese LOVED CHEESE
Your feet are colder than they were before pregnancy NOPE
The hair on your legs has grown faster during pregnancy YES IT DID
Your hands are very dry NO THEY WEREN'T
Your pillow faces north when you sleep NO IT DOESN'T
Dad-to-be is gaining weight, right along with you I LOST WEIGHT
Pregnancy has you looking better than ever OK, IF FATTER IS BETTER, THEN YES.
Your urine is bright yellow in color HOW COULD IT GET TO THIS COLOR IF I WAS PEEING EVERY 30 MINUTES?
Your nose is spreading NO IT DIDN'T
You hang your wedding ring over your belly and it moves in circles DIDN'T TRY IT.
You are having headaches HAD A COUPLE
You add your age at the time of conception and the number for the month you conceived and the sum is an even number 27+7-34, EVEN

It's a girl if:

You had morning sickness early in pregnancy DIDN'T HAVE A GIRL, BUT I DID HAVE THIS.
Your baby's heart rate is at least 140 beats per minute --
You are carrying the weight in your hips and rear YEP, THIS WAS ME, BUT DIDN'T HAVE A GIRL.
Your left breast is larger than your right breast THEY WERE BOTH BIG, I STILL CAN'T TELL.
Your hair develops red highlights MY HAIR ALREADY HAS THEM.
You are carrying high NOPE, WASN'T.
Your belly looks like a watermelon MY BELLY WAS MORE SPREAD OUT LIKE THIS, YES.
You are craving sweets YEP, I DID.
You are craving fruit YEP, I DID.
You crave orange juice YEP, I DID.
You don't look quite as good as normal during pregnancy --
You are moodier than usual during pregnancy ISN'T EVERYONE?
Your face breaks out more than usual NOPE, DIDN'T.
You refuse to eat the heel of a loaf of bread YES I DID, BUT DIDN'T HAVE A GIRL.
Your breasts have really blossomed! THEY BLOSSOMED IN 4TH GRADE.
Your pillow faces south when you sleep NOPE
Your urine is a dull yellow color NOPE
You hang your wedding ring over your belly and it moves from side to side DIDN'T TRY.
You add your age at the time of conception and the number for the month you conceived and the sum is an odd number --

Honestly if I didn't know that I was having a boy, based on that list, I would be set on a girl. But, I had most of the girl symptoms. I had more of the "boy" symptoms with DS though. I'm learning that every pregnancy is different.

My mom had no morning sickness with either pregnancy and she had 2 girls. I guess I'll just have to wait until May...
