Old Wives Tales - True for You?

So I just HAD to share! My DS will be 2 years old in May, and I am currently expecting a DD in August. Every old wives tale was SPOT ON for me. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. The Chinese Gender Calender thing was also correct for both!
With Jack:
No nausea or vomiting whatsoever. Total exhaustion and fatigue. I craved salty things, carried low, DS had a heart rate around 135/140. Chinese calendar predicted boy. Literally every single old wives tale was true for him!
With Evelyn (current pregnancy):
SO MUCH NAUSEA. So much. Vomiting every day for the entire first tri. Carrying a bit higher and in my hips. Craving sweets, heart rate in the 160's. So so moody and my face has broken out like crazy. Chinese calendar spot on for her as well!
Anyone else hold "true" to the old wives tales? 

Re: Old Wives Tales - True for You?

  • All of the fun quizzes and things have been correct for the first 3...we will see about this one. So far they are all pointing to boy. If baby cooperates, we should find out next Tuesday!

  • Oh how exciting!!! Keep us posted!! I found out this past Friday (we did a gender reveal party that we found out at with our friends and family) and was SO excited
  • Some were true and some were not for our girl...

    True:
    Baby had/has high heartrate
    Chinese Gender Chart
    Carrying high
    Sweet cravings
    I thought it was a girl
    Feet were not cold

    False:
    No morning sickness
    No "stealing my beauty"

    One of our girls this pregnancy is Evelyn as well!
    ive had two boys previous and I was hardly sick with them! I was exhausted.
    the cravings were opposite for me - sweet for boys and I crave salt and protein with the girls. 
    My face has broken out a ton though with the girls! 
    I didn't actually throw up a ton with the girls but I was nauseous for a few weeks straight. 
    i am carrying much higher with the girls though!


  • Carrying mid/low- true
    Lower heart rate-142- true
    Chinese Calendar-false
    Baking soda- true
    Wedding ring-true
    Morning sickness- false
    Craving salty/sour- true


    All things pointed to boy, and got that confirmed on Monday!!
  • I've had mixed results...

    DS1 - bad nausea, chinese gender chart said girl, but craved salt and DS had a lowing heart rate. 

    DS2 (this pregnancy) - nausea was a little better but still there, Chinese gender chart said girl, craving sweet, but heart rate was in the 150's
