Gender Game: Old Wives Tales

tuxielove93 · November 2021

We've done this in my other bump groups, so I thought it would be fun to bring here! Doing it now because those of us at the beginning of the month are able to start doing sneak peeks right?? Anyways...

Answer the Old Wives Tales to determine if you are having a girl or a boy! (Obviously just for fun) And then we can compare when we find out for real!

1) Craving Sweet (G) or Salty (B)?

2) Excessive morning sickness (G) or generally doing ok(B)?

3) Skin breaking out (G) or pregnancy glow (B)?

4) Are you feeling Moody (G) or Mellow (B)?

5) Feeling cold (B)? Hot and sweaty (G)?

1) Craving Sweet (G) or Salty (B)? Actual cravings are savory, but when I am really struggling to eat I'm going for fruit. So Ill say sweet= G

2) Excessive morning sickness (G) or generally doing ok(B)? So sick= G (to be fair, I am always wicked sick and I have two boys)

3) Skin breaking out (G) or pregnancy glow (B)? Definitely breaking out= G

4) Are you feeling Moody (G) or Mellow (B)? I am crying at everything, including crying because I'm crying = G

5) Feeling cold (B)? Hot and sweaty (G)? Both? .... really both. I'll go cold because I get bad hot flashes, but my normal is cold= B

6) What does the Chinese gender chart say? Link here: https://www.whattoexpect.com/pregnancy/preparing-for-baby/chinese-gender-predictor-chart/ I got B!

4 for girl, 2 for boy. I am hoping for another boy so I hope this ratio is wrong!

1) Craving Sweet (G) or Salty (B)? I've already downed a whole bag of salt and vinegar chips and have had plenty of pickles - Salty (B)

2) Excessive morning sickness (G) or generally doing ok(B)? Generally ok. It's mostly just a blah feeling in my stomach. Nothing has made me want to puke (B)

3) Skin breaking out (G) or pregnancy glow (B)? I've had one or 2 pop up but they might actually be ingrown hairs along my jawline so we'll go with pregnancy glow (B)

4) Are you feeling Moody (G) or Mellow (B)? Pretty mellow I would say (B)

5) Feeling cold (B)? Hot and sweaty (G)? Mmm hard to say. I think more often than not I've been hot (G)

6) What does the Chinese gender chart say? Link here: https://www.whattoexpect.com/pregnancy/preparing-for-baby/chinese-gender-predictor-chart/ (G). However, it's either TB's predictor or BC's that does give me boy

Hoping for a boy but we'll see! I'll take anything of course but it would be awesome to have the first grandson

Signs are pointing to Girl and I really hope that is true! I had a gut feeling early on with DS and I was correct - my gut this time is G!

Looks like 4 B and 2 G - kind of hoping for a girl but I do have one of those funny inexplicable feelings that it's a boy. (I had that with my son, so maybe it is just because I associate pregnancy with him!)

1) Craving Sweet (G) or Salty (B)? Craving olives and cucumbers with salt and red vinegar….(B)

2) Excessive morning sickness (G) or generally doing ok(B)? Terrible almost all day nausea since
Week 6…..(G). But to be fair I was super sick with our son lol

major breakouts (B)

More leaning towards boy and I would say my symptoms are pretty identical to my first pregnancy with my son….but my early intuition says it might be a girl this time!

1 for Girl 5 for Boy

quelinda99 · December 2021

Everything says BOY except the Chinese gender chart! That's so funny because I really do feel like I'm having a boy. It's what I picture in the future. I'd love to have a girl too, though! I'll be happy either way

peppylilfoxy · December 2021

When I did this for my son everything pointed to girl except the Chinese chart. This time we have a gestational carrier and symptoms all point to boy but Chinese chart points to girl though idk if I did it right because I used my birthday since it's my genetic material. I don't know if I was supposed to use that or the carrier's.

velvetblue88 · December 2021

Ok, so... I've posted on other threads that we only have girls in my family. I have three sisters, no brothers. Seven nieces, no nephews. I fully expect to have a girl, because I won't know what to do with anything else. 😆

1) Craving Sweet (G) or Salty (B)? Salty (less sweet than usual anyway, I think)

2) Excessive morning sickness (G) or generally doing ok(B)? Generally ok. Occasional nausea.

3) Skin breaking out (G) or pregnancy glow (B)? Not a lot of breakouts. Hmm....

4) Are you feeling Moody (G) or Mellow (B)? Pretty mellow. Excessively happy. 😁

5) Feeling cold (B)? Hot and sweaty (G)? SO COOOOOLD!

6) What does the Chinese gender chart say? Boy. 🤔

elmann1 · December 2021

1) Craving Sweet (G) or Salty (B)? Salty. With my daughter I also only craved Salty

2) Excessive morning sickness (G) or generally doing ok(B)? 4 weeks of general morning sickness, not extreme but not ok lol

3) Skin breaking out (G) or pregnancy glow (B)? Breakouts and skin darkening/rash

4) Are you feeling Moody (G) or Mellow (B)? Moody. But I'm always moody

5) Feeling cold (B)? Hot and sweaty (G)? Ice cold!

6) What does the Chinese gender chart say? Girl

LJMoon6 · December 2021

I figured I’d finally do this, since I’m far enough along that I should be feeling some symptoms.

1) Craving Sweet (G) or Salty (B)? I normally always crave sweet, but it’s just not cutting it right now.

2) Excessive morning sickness (G) or generally doing ok(B)? Feel almost completely normal, not feeling pregnant at all.

3) Skin breaking out (G) or pregnancy glow (B)? I don’t feel like I’m glowing but I’m definitely not breaking out either

4) Are you feeling Moody (G) or Mellow (B)? Kinda in the middle. Some days I’m super chill, other days I’m moody AF lol.

5) Feeling cold (B)? Hot and sweaty (G)? During the day I’m generally cold but I blame that on it being winter. At night I’ve been waking up sweating like a pig lol, which is unusual for me.

6) What does the Chinese gender chart say? Girl, but it said girl last time and I had a boy.

I'm guessing we'll probably have another boy.
