Old Wives Tales To Guess The Sex Of Your Baby

Guess the sex of your babyEveryone wants to know the sex of their baby - but not everyone chooses to find out what the sex is. If you have chosen not to know, or even if you have been told what the sex may be, I am pretty sure that you would have spent at least a few days wondering how you could tell the sex of your baby and what the signs may be which may give some sort of indication.

After all, if your mom is anything like mine, then she has always had her own opinion. It’s going to be a boy because.... or its going to be a girl because...

Either way it is far more exciting to try and figure it all out with some often strange and wonderful old wives tales.

So lets look at the old wives recipe for guessing the sex of your baby:

You’re going to have 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
