Curious did the OWT hold true for you?

elliezen · December 2009

As everyone is finding out the babys sex lately, are you finding that the Old wives tales for gender held true?? What are you having? Did you have all the baby boy symptoms, or baby girl symptoms? Was your intuition right?

Heart rate OWT was wrong for me. Intuition was wrong for me, skin breaking out OWT was wrong for me. The only thing that was right was the Chinese gender chart.

All the OWT said boy, & I'm having a boy.

Everyone - family, friends - thought boy too. Only DH was convinced it was a girl. I always thought my first would be a boy, but when I got pg I kept having these girl dreams, so I had no intuition about it whatsoever.

the only thing that worked for me, was my intuition.. Yes

but then again, i dont remember anyone telling me any wives tales.. but we all knew it was going to be a boy..

Heart beat OWT indicated girl.

Cravings for sweets & fruits OWT indicated girl.

Carrying high OWT indicated girl.

I'm having a boy! Only thing that pointed to boy was the bump's gender prediction chart.

All OWT's for this LO where wrong. Good ole intuition was right, and we are having a boy.

with DD most OWT were true and I also had a strong girl feeling the whole time. With this one the OWTs are mixed but I have had strong boy feeling the whole time...we find out Tuesday so will see!

I just knew I was having a girl and I am. All the OWTs were right on the money for me.

My intuition was wrong but the heartbeat and morning sickness OWTs were right. We're having a girl.

I have two girls and a boy on the way. No OWT has ever held true for me. Not even the heart burn means a baby with hair was all wrong. I have had NO heartburn ever. DD#1 was a baldy until she was 3. DD#2 had a head full of dark hair.

I am carrying my boy the same as both my girls.

I really don't know any of the OWTs... so I have no idea. However, DH and both thought it was a girl, and I kept having dreams about girl babies... and it's most likely a girl! Or a very shy boy.

I "just knew" with all 3 kids. That's got to be better than 50/50, right?

sturgeje · December 2009

all of them were wrong for me!

the heartbeat is always on the higher side, i've been craving sweet stuff, and the chinese gender chart on here was wrong-- i'm having a boy! i thought for sure it was a girl & i was wrong too!

auslyn804 · December 2009

I was more sick with my boy than this girl so that one was wrong.

My skin broke out more with this girl(girls steal your beauty) and I have been much more emotional.

Both of my babies heart rates were exactly the same at the same weeks: both 163 at 12 wks, 150s after that.

Those were the ones that stand out the most for me as being right or wrong.

And I KNEW Colin was a girl. I am throwing that in there because I believe that your "intuition" about what you're having is an old wives tale too.

jacquelinethorne · December 2009

My intuition was totally wrong, and the OWT's were hit and miss. My baby boy's heart rate is always in the 160's so wrong there, but I have craved salty and sour things so that was right.
