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?
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"
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!
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!!
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
