Wives tales to predict gender

nmac1015 · October 2014

Do yall believe any of them? I'm getting kinda tired of people asking my symptoms and then being like "oh it's a boy." Or "oh you're having a girl." I think it's all a bunch of Bologna!

Definitely dont believe it! My cousin and I who had our 1st a month apart had identical pregnancies down to the cravings and I had a boy and she had a girl!

I don't really believe it but it can be fun to pass the time sometimes lol

I've heard two really weird ones. Idk how they are true BUT I've heard if you had sex and got pregnant before you ovulated (well you know what I mean, the sperm was in there hanging out til you ovulated) then it's a girl and after its a boy. Also if your right boob is bigger it's a boy. It's so random! People love to come up to you and tell you their old wives tale about it.

I read that somewhere. The explanation for that is that x sperm is slower and more resistant to the "uterus environment" (acidity and stuff lol) and y sperm are faster but not that strong... so if u have sex before u ovulate is more likely that you are going to have a girl because the x sperm is going to " hang out" in your uterus longer.

My mom has already said I'm having a boy since I'm having a lot of lower back pain and only minor nausea. I laugh every time.

It's the SMEP (sperm meets egg plan) and it was debunked several years ago. A lot of people know about it but don't realize it was proven wrong.

The boob one...I have nothing.

I'm on that list ! Lol but not anymore!

I just did the Chinese gender chart and it said boy. I've just FELT like I'm having a girl this whole time..so that's the only one I've been looking at.

My friends swear that if you're really puffy in your face, hands, feet in the last trimester, it's a girl. Who knows!

The Chinese gender chart was wrong when I had DS. I was carrying high and craved salty stuff, which I guess you're supposed to for a boy, so that was correct?

I've heard of in early pregnancy if the placenta is on the right it's a boy and if it's on the left then it's a girl

my grandmother has already consulted with the chinese psychics (she's a devout buddhist) and they say i'm having a boy.

technically they have a 50% chance of being right

I've seen this too. It claims to be 97% correct, and it has been right if you look at all my friends early ultrasound photos.... So I do wonder about this one.

My cousin just text me about this last night! It's called the Ramzi Method (I think). She said it was correct for both of her kids. If that's the case, it looks like we're having a girl!

This is hilarious. Your right Boob is bigger it's a boy. Placenta placement. Now I want an early ultrasound to test this one out. Haha I really have been out of the loop!

All of my previous 3 were on the left. I have 2 boys and a girl.

bumpuser10584708 · October 2014

I had a crazy dream last night about adopting a girl and giving her a bath. The pregnancy dream decoder said I'm going through a big change and because I dreamed of a girl I'll be having a girl... we'll see how that plays out

Reading these was hilarious! I've never heard of most of them. Most o the ones I hear are the certain food cravings, etc. My friend told me that in Korean theory if you break out it means you're having a girl because girls steal their mother's beauty. I thought that was cute!

lol, It's cute until someone says "Oh I hear girls steal their mother's beauty. I think it is definitely a girl."

Yes. People do this.

I have three friends expecting between November and February and they already know the sexes of their babies. For fun, we looked at the Chinese gender predictor and it was right for all three of them... Kinda weird but not really betting on it. It's just kind of fun to look at that stuff!

willowprincess · October 2014

Fun fact: The Chinese gender chart has said boy for me every single time, including this one. I think I broke it.
