Gender Wives Tales

OK I know these are generally BS.

But DH and I are hosting a dinner for all our family for an early Thanksgiving. We should know the gender by then so our plan was, if we do, to incorporate a gender reveal into the night.

We wanted to do a board with all the wives tales and where we fall on the spectrum.


So far I have:

Carrying - high/girl, low/boy
Cravings - sweet/girl, salty/boy
Chinese Calendar
Baby's Heartbeat - over 150/girl, under 150/boy
Headaches - less/girl, more/boy
Hands - soft/girl, dry/boy
Mayan Calendar

What other ones do we know?

I made a board and it had the following on it (some you already have):
Morning sickness yes (girl) no (boy)
Cravings sweet (girl) salty/sour (boy)
Chinese calendar
Ring test
Heartbeat high (girl) low (boy)
Sleeping on your right side (girl) left side (boy)
Mood moody (girl) happy (boy)
Disposition graceful (girl) clumsy (boy)
Headaches less (girl) more (boy)
Skin soft (girl) dry (boy)
Carrying high (girl) low (boy)

Have fun!

I think there's also the baking soda/drano test. Something about changing certain colors if its a boy or girl.

I heard this was actually dangerous to do, well with drano anyhow.
