Baby Gender Predictions

in 1st Trimester
I am interested in doing the gender predictions before our 20 week ultrasound(still 10 weeks away), like the ring on a string over the belly. There are so many out there, did you try them and if so which ones? Were they accurate for you?

    With DD, I looked at the Chinese "gender" chart, her heart rate, my cravings, and how I was carrying. All indicated girl, and they were right.

    This time, I've done the "gender" chart again as well as the string test. One has said girl and the other boy.

    I know there are a lot of them. I was just curious of any I may not have heard of. It seems like a fun thing to do with my husband and get him more involved this early.

    I think all but one of the old wive's tales things I looked at were correct for me. But I still don't think they're accurate.

    My husband's family swears by the pencil on a string test so they did it on me when I was pregnant with DS. It was right about him and then right for the baby girl I'm pregnant with. Doesn't mean this test is fool proof BUT it literally has worked for every single woman in DH's family for the last 20 years. It was fun to do at a family reunion.
    Pencil on a string test...I have not been told of this method...do tell.

    The Chinese gender chart was right for me.  I never tried anything else.  Now I'm intrigued by the pencil on a string test. :)

    The Bump's Chinese gender chart was correct for all three of my pregnancies. This time around it says girl.

    Baking soda! Pee in a cup with baking soda and if it fizzes-boy, nothing-girl! Supposed to be at 13 weeks but it has worked for a lot of people I know!

    And for anyone interested the Organic Gender test, but worried about the smell she mentioned in the blog I posted, I haven't noticed an issue yet.

    I'm getting a few sprouts in both pots today, but team pink seems to be edging ahead!
