Gender Predictions

Feb/23/2013

17 weeks 1 day 


So I got this idea off Pintrest and I thought it was a really cute and creative idea to record some popular gender predictions! 




Well 8 predictions say girl and 3 predictions say boy. Also, almost all my family and friends who have commented say baby B is a girl! I'm so anxious to find out! 


How To Do The Gender Predictions:

1) Chinese Calendar: This chart will show each expectant mother what gender her baby is predicted to be based on the month of conception and maternal age. 



2) String Test: Loop your wedding ring in a piece of thread and let it dangle over your belly. If the rings swings in a back and forth motion, it's a girl. If the ring moves in a circular motion, paint the room blue.

3) Cravings: If you crave salty foods it's a boy. If you crave sweets then it's a girl. 

4) Skin: It's a girl if you get acne due to the increased levels of the female charged hormones. A girl steals her mother’s beauty.

5) Morning Sickness: No morning sickness, it’s a boy.  A girl if you were sick or nauseous during your pregnancy.

6) How You're Carrying: If you're carrying low, it's a boy. If you're carrying high, it's a girl.

7) Baby's Heartrate: A heart rate over 140 beats per minute (bpm), it's a girl. A boy's heart beat is slower. 

8) Moodiness: If you are moody, you are having a girl because of all the extra female hormones.

9) Dad's Weight: If dad gains weight, it's a girl. If his weight stays the same, it's a boy.

10) Baking Soda: What you do is put a little bit of baking soda in the bottom of a disposable cup and then add a little bit of your urine to it. If it fizzles like a soda pop, it may be a boy. If there’s no fizzle, it may be a girl. 

11) Mayan Calendar: There's a Mayan system that predicts gender based on the mother's age at conception and the year of conception. If both the year and the age are even, or both are odd, it's a girl. If one is even and one is odd, it's a boy.

  1. This is a really cute idea, I think I may do one of these as well and save it for the baby's scrapbook.
