    I have no idea what the ring on a string test is. Can you explain? I'm interested!

    You put a diamond ring on a piece of string and hold it over your tummy. If it sways back and forth, it'll be one sex, if it swings from side to side it'll be the other. Don't know which is which as I've never really cared for old wives tales personally.

    Just did it!  It went around in crazy circles which is supposed to mean girl.  Of course I am dying to have a girl so maybe this is wishful thinking!  Its fun!

    Our due date is very close. My mom did the string test back when I was in eighth grade and it is always 2 girls and then a boy. This is my first, but I'm convinced it's a girl because of the string test. Mine goes crazy in circles now that I'm pregnant!!! I think it's fun!

    I did it and it says girl also, but I do not know the gender yet.

    My friend did it and it told her boy and it was right.  But like all OWT, it has a 50% chance of being correct  :)

    With Italians you do it with a needle and thread.

    Someone will take it, let it hit your left hand once, then hold it over your tummy.

    If it swings in a circle it is a girl.

    And if it goes back and forth it is a boy.

    My friend did it to me when pregnant with my first just for fun and it said girl...and I had a girl. It's funny I forgot she did that trick on me until I saw this post and remembered she was right.

    Uh oh....me too! Maybe they could date and it wouldn't be as awkward for them?  The ring would do circles, then stop and swing back and forth.  Hermaphrodite it is....or twins.

    haha, I tried this and it swung in a circle and then swung back in forth and there is no way there is two in there so my "test" did not work!
