Baking Soda Test

audreylaine510 · February 2014

I know it's silly but I did the baking soda test yesterday and got boy! Last time I was pregnant I did it and got girl and it was right. I'm now convinced I'm having a boy ;-)

What's the baking soda test???

audreylaine510 · February 2014

You pee in a cup with baking soda in it. If it fizzes it's a boy, no fizz means girl. It is totally an old wives tale but fun anyway. I'll let everyone know if it's right this time or not :-)

So much cheaper than intelligender...I might do this for entertainment.

Do it.

Mine fizzled a little bit.

OkieMama · February 2014

I tried it for fun- it fizzed! Now if only I had tried it with DS so I could compare...

candyland33 · February 2014

I got girl!!!

Raclla · February 2014

Explain the fizzing. Mine basically looked like it foamed a bit? Like the head on a beer. That's a boy? Right? Or does it need to really fizz and bubble?

Raclla · February 2014

Wow. Guess I can get rid of DDs girl clothes.

I told my H the results. He didn't even acknowledge that I was speaking.

Mine just smiled.

Never heard of this one and just tried it. Granted, I didn't know how much baking soda and I didn't watch the YouTube videos until after I was done. I peed straight into a cup with baking soda already in it and there wasn't fizzing. It most definitely did not look beer like. So girl?

DH is already convinced it's a girl since I have zero fast food cheeseburgers cravings like with DS. We shall see.

Nice frothy beer like mixture...so I guess boy. Dh was less than amused.

Ha, I had to climb over DH who is currently putting down new tile in our kitchen to get to the baking soda. I told him what I was doing and not to judge me. He just laughed.

You tube says if it looks like a beer it's boy. I had a thick layer of foam and some sizzle so I think that's boy.

hmmm mine slightly made a fizz noise but it really didnt look like anything but pee was in the cup. Interesting.

Mine did not make a fizz noise but looked just like pee was in there with baking soda on the bottom of the cup. Some of the YouTube ones showed thick foam on top.

atmaloney · February 2014

I am doing this....in 3 minutes.

Edit: and it slightly made a fizzy noise, looked like baking soda and peepee. almost like beer. I dont know. HOPING FOR BOY!

Chloenme · February 2014

Baby is a girl!!!! Yeiiii! I just did it for fun, but don't want to find out until week 20th!!!!

Haha then based on this we can switch out kids' clothes.

Sweet!

Jentech84 · February 2014

I hope come August we bust out this thread again and see which predictions come true! It'll be at least 50/50

bootsandgames · February 2014

Tried it and nothing happened except a tiny little bubble, so girl?

sarahg8r · February 2014

I just watched a YouTube video to see how it works. I happened to find a girl who tested 3 times over weeks 10-14. She got girl all three times. Then I saw their gender reveal video....boy!

Haha awesome! The videos I watched didn't have any updates after they found out.

caybeh · February 2014

I did it but my baking soda wasn't fresh. I got a bubble or two, so I guess girl. DH thinks it is a girl and I say boy. We'll see for sure in a month if it was right!

Stefrusso · February 2014

No foam or fizz - after we all find out the sex we'll have to see accurate this test was

Firsttimemomma11 · February 2014

does it have to be first morning urine? I did it this afternoon and I got a girl result.

tamarar5 · February 2014

I did it today for fun and it said girl. Most of the wives tales have said girl, and the Chinese chart. So here's to hoping, right! Lol. Can't wait to find out in a few weeks!

FloridaLady · February 2014

Mine said girl. We'll find out in three weeks! I'm making my appointment tomorrow

Artebellezzavita · February 2014

I got my prediction at my 12 week scan last week, so I would be interested to try this just for fun. Especially as it was a very quick crotch shot we got, and maybe it wasn't what I was hoping for at first and maybe it was really just too early. Cannot wait to see my own doc at 18 week scan....

Jolaine83 · February 2014

I think some of those who have had their Maternit21 tests come back already need to try this. I have no patience to wait for 20 week u/s. lol We could get a pretty good idea of the % due to the amount of people on this board who know for sure already.

I'll try this later. lol Just for curiosity. I think it's a boy due to the fact that I'm breaking out again, like I did with DS. That's the only thing I can connect that could mean something.

andatcdc · April 2014

I thought I would revisit this thread ... I think all of us who are finding out the sex have done so ... so those of you who found out the sex and did this baking soda test, was it accurate??? How about the Chinese Gender Calendar? any other old wife tales prove to be accurate?

chase16 · April 2014

lol @andatcdc, I was VERY confused by this thread, until it finally dawned on me that it was an old post and I saw your recent one. I didn't do this before.. I'm half tempted to now just to see tho.

mislogis · April 2014

Mine barely fizzed. I think it was wishful thinking. I got a girl growing

rockyrollgirl · April 2014

It was Wrong! :P

BeachM · April 2014

It and all the Chinese gender charts I could find were WRONG.

Tinkerbell084 · April 2014

Baking soda, heart beat, chinese gender...all wrong here, said girl and we have a boy on the way

BabyM82714 · April 2014

Baking soda and Chinese calendar were wrong. I'm having a girl. I never had sickness. And I'm growing hair on my belly so thick I'll be able to braid it soon lol (this is suppose to mean boy). So wrong for me!! But I've thought girl all along and so has BF if that counts. If we would have heard its a boy we would have been shocked.
