Old Wives Tale....String and Needle, finding out sex of baby!

Has anyone done this?

Taking white string and put a needle on bottom and dangle it from your belly.....to see if it moves up and down (boy) or in a circle (girl).

I like doing these old wives tale. Chat Icon

it said my first was a girl---I had a boy...it has worked for everyone i know that already has kids...

try this....try to say in your head either boy or girl, and it will go that way...i know it sounds strange, and I used to love this wives tale...until I did this and saw that it was complete mind over manner.

yeah I agree.. My friend (who we call the italian gypsy(sp?), did a necklace thing to determing what you will have.. she told me 4 boys. I have a girl. Your mind makes you see what you want to see.

eta: i still enjoy doing them too tho.

Didn't work for me. The only thing that was 100% accurate was the sonogram. Chat Icon
