Old Wives Tales....

Elsker · March 2011

Gotta love em', but they drive me crazy. This is my favorite list, and I come up almost 50/50:

It's a boy if: (me= 11/19)

You didn't experience morning sickness in early pregnancy.
Yourbaby's heart rate is less than 140 beats per minute.
You are carrying the extra weight out front.
Your belly looks like a basketball.
Your areolas have darkened considerably.
You are carrying low.
You are craving salty or sour foods.
You are craving protein-- meats and cheese.
Your feet are colder than they were before pregnancy
The hair on your legs has grown faster during pregnancy.
Your hands are very dry.
Your pillow faces north when you sleep.
Dad-to-be is gaining weight right along with you.
Pregnancy has you looking better than ever.
Your urine is bright yellow in color.
Your nose is spreading.
You hang your wedding ring over your belly and it moves in circles.
You are having headaches.
You add your age at the time of conception and the number for the month you conceived and the sum is an even number.

It's a girl if: (me=9/19)

You had morning sickness early in pregnancy.
Your baby's heart rate is at least 140 beats per minute.
You are carrying the weight in your hips and rear.
Your left breast is larger than your right breast.
Your hair develops red highlights.
You are carrying high.
Your belly looks like a watermelon.
You are craving sweets.
You are craving fruit.
You crave orange juice.
You don't look quite as good as normal during pregnancy.
You are moodier than usual during pregnancy.
Your face breaks out more than usual.
You refuse to eat the heel of a loaf of bread.
Your breasts have really blossomed!
Your pillow faces south when you sleep.
Your urine is a dull yellow color.
You hang your wedding ring over your belly and it moves from side
You add your age at the time of conception and the number for the month you conceived and the sum is an odd number.

Well according to this my boy is really a girl! boy 4/19 girl 9/19

twohniyt · March 2011

I fit under most of the ones for boy and a few for girl. I'm having a little girl. These are fun to read and look at though.

SarahPLiz · March 2011

If you are well hydrated, your urine shouldn't be very yellow at all

Drink your water!

Elsker · March 2011

I drink about three one liter bottles of water a day, that's at least 92oz a day, and I still feel like I can't get enough water! There's just no reason for it

I've also heard that whatever gender you dream about, you're having the opposite. Well, I had one dream about a girl, and one about a boy....so I'm still 50/50

I can't wait to get this u/s done!!!

measrn · March 2011

We're having a boy and I got 2/19 for a boy and 9/19 for a girl Big Smile

LNHinton · March 2011

What happens if your pillow faces East or West? Am I having a dinosaur? Wink

Skibunny07 · March 2011

haha I def fit into both but more in the girl category but we are having a boy. Some of these are just stupid. Like my left breast is bigger then my right but its always been like that! And I don't really understand the pillow one. My pillow is facing the same way its always faced and I have no clue if its north south east or west haha

bug81 · March 2011

I got 9/19 on the boy and 6/19 on the girl. I find out tomorrow!!! I cant wait to see.

mabma80 · March 2011

Boy = 5/19

Girl =7/19

mcclj74 · March 2011

I'm having a boy. I drink nothing but water all day like it's going out of style and 3 cups of skim milk and my urine is still bright yellow!

LauraLovesJon · March 2011

4/19 for boy 13/19 for girl, we'll find out next week!

The dream tale would be true for me! I had a dream 1 week before my anatomy scan and it was a girl (even though I had felt from about 11-12 weeks little one was a boy). Found out we are having a boy!

kim1989 · March 2011

I?ve got some off both and I don?t know what I?m having yet

I?ve dreamt about a girl though so apparently that means its a boy? and the chinese gender chart says boy too

I?m hoping for a girl :-p

Sometimes the prenatal vitamins can make your pee yellow no matter how much water you drink .
