There seemed to be some confusion in the “I’m just here for the sex” poll.
For this poll only vote after you have found out the sex of your baby!
Also, feel free to post in the comments or in the previous thread as the votes are anonymous. Don’t forget you cannot change your vote once it’s been cast.
For those of us who already know, or are still waiting to find out, here is an Old Wives Tales chart! Was it accurate for you? Or totally off?!?
I didn’t know about or do the key test. I did do the pick a chair test and it was right for boy. The Chinese chart I found on a different site said boy. The bump’s says girl.
I should note that this pregnancy has not been noticeably different from all of my boy pregnancies other than I think if I was honest, I have been much, much moodier. I have craved pizza and pasta with this one, which is pretty true for all the boys. My morning sickness has been the same with all of them. All of them have had heartbeats over 170 at 11-14 weeks. This is the first pregnancy I remember being cold all of the time in, but the last two boys I was pregnant first trimester in the summer in the desert. And the first one, has been long enough that I don’t remember much other than the morning sickness, all day long. 😝
My hands have been dry AF but mostly warm. Currently sleeping propped up to ease both congestion and heartburn. I’d never heard of the key test before, and now I feel like if I do it my results will be biased! Haven’t really noticed a change in headaches. And, I mean, I’ve had nausea but it hasn’t been bad. Not like some of y’all have had for sure.
I’ve only gotten a numbered heart rate once (129 @ 6 weeks) so I’m going based on what I’ve got with that one.
Also, I’m using the timing of the deed, not the timing of ovulation, for conception. If we go with ovulation, it’s December and the Chinese calendar says girl.
Am I the only one who can't figure out how to copy the image to edit?! 🤦♀️ I've been waiting for someone else to ask the question but I must be the lowest tech gal here! I don't know gender yet but was hoping to figure it out. @starkette the calendars were wrong for you! Seems like for most they have been correct which creeps me out! So I'm happy to see that!
@kbtt2022 yea I screen shot it and crop the edges. I was so surprised the calendars were wrong this time! They were right with both my girls so I wasn't gonna be too surprised if it was another girl.
@amberrmariee20 I totally get it! I won't know until the end of April!!! I'll probably be the last to announce here for those a part of team finding out!
I feel like based off the chart (I didn’t do the ring thing or key thing) we were thinking boys. Having a little bit of gender disappointment here as my husband and I both really wanted boys but we will figure it out. Found out on Thursday that the twins are 🎀🎀.
@sarahdaley11 definitely valid to feel disappointment. For what it's worth, I have two girls and it's absolutely fantastic. Their bond is wonderful and they are unbelievably fun. They are daredevils, super clever, snuggly and sweet, while also loving adventure and the outdoors. I have one who loves pink, glitter, AND bugs, and rollercoasters. Another who is an extrovert like my husband and adores action movies. They're dynamic and unique. So many facets to their personalities.
@sarahdaley11 I definitely had a serious case of gender disappointment with my first. I recommend giving yourself plenty of time to adjust. It is a valid feeling and one you're entitled to.
@sarahdaley11 I definitely agree with what everyone else has said. I had serious gender disappointment with my second. Let yourself feel what you’re feeling!
I just realized I put this in the other thread, but I’ll add it here too! Our baby boy fit almost every old wives tale as a girl, including many others, such as the Mayan Calendar, Chinese Calendar, Temperature, Dreaming, and even drinking lots of orange juice (as well as some more TMI ones.) Next time I will be curious to see if everything is wrong again!🤣
While I wanted to buy cute pink dresses in addition to overalls, I knew we weren’t having both and it’s so special to know, even though it means no bows and ruffles this time around!🥰

My mom had me do the spoon/knife (or spoon/fork) test and she got it right though.
