Have a guess??? I read a statistic lately that said 71% of mothers have a correct "feeling" about what they are having. I asked Dr. L about it and she said she didn't know about 71% but that most of her mothers DO have a feeling and MOST of the time they are right! So... I'd love to be some help but I. Have. No. Idea. No feeling at all. I THINK it's a girl but just because I WANT a boy so bad :) Either way we are going to be absolutely thrilled but, before we find out tomorrow, we would love to hear what you think it is! If this helps here are what some of the old wives tales have said:
Old Wives Tale #1:
Chinese Gender Chart: The Chinese Gender Chart
claims to have an accuracy rate of over 90%. It is based on how old the
mother is at conception and the month that she conceived.
Boy.
Old Wives Tale #2:
Toddlers: If a toddler boy expresses interest in a pregnant woman, she is having a girl. If he doesn't show interest, she's having a boy. Vise versa for a girl.
If El counts as a toddler then she has definitely been more attached to me since we found out so Boy.
Old Wives Tale #3:
Morning Sickness: If you had a smooth pregnancy
with no morning sickness, it's a boy. If you were sick or felt really
nauseous during your pregnancy, count on a girl.
Although I didn't feel great my first trimester I was rarely nauseous and never sick so, Boy.
Old Wives Tale #4:
Hair On Legs: If the hair on your legs has been growing at record speeds, you might be having a boy.
No change so, Girl.
Old Wives Tale #5:
Ring Test: Using a string, hang your
wedding ring over your pregnant belly. You are having a girl if the ring
swings back and forth and it's a boy if it swings in a circle.
Boy.
Old Wives Tale #6:
Mayan Table: The Mayan tale adds the
mothers age at conception and the year of conception. If the result is a
even number then mom is having a girl. If the result is an odd number
then a boy is on the way!
Boy.
Old Wives Tale #7:
Acne: If you have acne while pregnant, it's a girl. It's thought that acne during pregnancy is caused by the extra hormones.
Girl.
Old Wives Tale #8:
Drano Test: The drano test combines a
tablespoon of Drano and urine together. If the mixture turns green, it's
a girl. If it turns blue, it's a boy.
Come on people, you know me. You REALLY think I am going to catch and then mix my pee with Drano (that I would have to go buy?!? Be serious.)
Old Wives Tale #9:
Cravings: People believe that if you are
craving salty foods while pregnant, you can count on having a boy. If
you crave sweets, fruit, and orange juice, you are having a little girl.
Boy.
Old Wives Tale #10:
Shape of Mom's Face: When your face gets fuller and
rounder when pregnant, it means you're going to have a girl. If your
face is long and narrow, it's a boy.
Boy.
Hope this helps! Let me know what you think and after the Gender Reveal with my family tomorrow I'll let you all know!
I say boy!!! :)
