I am 40+7 and have tested all of the so called 'old wives tales' for gender prediction at least once during this pregnancy...
I found this template and have all of the predictions for myself so if any one else wants to join in feel free...
im very very very bored
Old Wives Tale #1: Heart Rate
If the baby’s heart rate is above 140 bpm, it is said that the baby will be a girl. If it is under 140 bpm, then it will be a boy. (First time we heard the babies heartbeat it was at 155 bpm) Prediction outcome: GIRL
Old Wives Tale #2: Shape of Belly
If you are carrying high with a big, round belly, you are having a girl. If you are carrying low with a smaller belly that sticks straight out, it’s a boy. (I seem to definitely be BIG and all out front lol) Prediction outcome: BOY
Old Wives Tale #3: Baking soda test
Get two cups - fill one with urine. The other with baking soda. If when they are mixed the mixture fizzes... You are predicted a boy. If the mixture stays flat - girl. (I got a very very fizzy result)
Prediction outcome: BOY
Old Wives Tale #4: Acne
If you have acne while pregnant, it’s a girl. It’s thought that acne during pregnancy is caused by the extra hormones. (my face is pizza-esque) Prediction outcome: GIRL
Old Wives Tale #5: 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. (all I was able to eat in the beginning was corned beef) Prediction outcome: BOY
Old Wives Tale #6: Scan if you've had one yet - they can be wrong
(I have had multiple scans this pregnancy - we are most definitely having a BOY
Old Wives Tale #7: Time of Conception
The person that is most aggressive in bed at the time of conception is the opposite of what the baby will be. (genuinely cant remember) Prediction outcome: INCONCLUSIVE
Old Wives Tale #8: Legs
If your legs get really big, you’re having a boy. If your legs stay in shape and lean, it’s a girl. I think it’s too early for me to tell on this one. (Well, my legs are tree trunks at the moment) prediction outcome: BOY
Old Wives Tale #9: Moodiness and a Little Pecker (this one is odd, but funny)
If you are really moody, you are having a girl since you have another extra girl hormones in you. Your pregnancy will make you smile and be more happy if you are having a boy because there’s a little penis inside you. (When I was pregnant with my daughter I was LITERALLY Satan. This time round I have been very cool, calm and collected) Prediction outcome: BOY
Old Wives Tale #10: 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. (I was 27 at the time of conception and baby was conceived in January) Prediction outcome: GIRL
Old Wives Tale #11: Mom’s Beauty
Basically you are having a girl if your beauty disappears during pregnancy. It is said that the girl “steals” the mother’s beauty. If you think that pregnancy has never made you look more beautiful, a little boy it is. (this is based on spottiness and just my self esteem at the moment!) Prediction outcome: GIRL
Old Wives Tale #12: Dream of Sex of Baby
If you have dreams that you are having a boy, you will have a girl. If you dream about having a girl, it will be a boy. Dreams show the opposite of what you are having. (I've not dreamt of the baby once) Prediction outcome: inconclusive
Old Wives Tale #13: Clumsy vs. Graceful
If the pregnant woman is graceful throughout her pregnancy, she’s having a girl. If she becomes clumsy, she’s having a boy. (I'm pretty always clumsy, have yet to fall but I'm running into things all the time) Prediction outcome: BOY
Old Wives Tale #14: Side You Most Rest On
If a pregnant woman prefers to lay on her left side, she’s having a boy. If she prefers resting on her right side, she’s having a girl. (i cant lay any other side but my right - spd is worse in left hip)Prediction outcome: GIRL
Old Wives Tale #15: Dad’s Weight Gain
If the dad-to-be gains weight while you are pregnant, it’s a girl. If he doesn’t gain weight, you’re having a boy. Prediction outcome: BOY
Old Wives Tale #16: Breast Test
If a pregnant woman’s left breast is larger than the right breast, she’s having a girl. If the right breast is larger, it’s a boy. (right looks bigger to me) Prediction outcome: BOY
Old Wives Tale #17: What Do You Think?
71% of the time, the mom-to-be knows what she is having. Prediction outcome: GIRL (even after all the scans im still convinced he will end up being a girl)
Old Wives Tale #18: 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. (well this one is a LOAD of rubbish - I have had hyperemesis with both girls and boys before...) Prediction outcome: GIRL
Old Wives Tale #19: Areolae
If your areolae (the part around your nips) have darkened, it’s a boy. If they haven't, its a girl. Prediction outcome: BOY
Old Wives Tale #20: Protein
When a pregnant woman craves meat and cheese, count on a boy. (cant get enough meat nuts and cheese!!) Prediction outcome: BOY
Old Wives Tale #21: Feet
Are your feet colder now that you are pregnant? If so, you just might be having a boy. If your feet have stayed the same before pregnancy and during, you’re having a little girl. Prediction outcome: BOY
Old Wives Tale #22: Headaches
If you are having headaches, you might be carrying a boy. (I am migraine central) Prediction outcome: BOY
Old Wives Tale #23: Baby Names
It is said that when you can only think of specific names for a boy or a girl, you will have that particularly baby. (I was convinced from the beginning that we were having a girl and got a girls name immediately... Even after the first scan confirming boy I just had girls names...) Prediction outcome: GIRL
Old Wives Tale #24: Urine
What color is your pee? If it is bright yellow, you will have a little boy. If your urine is a dull yellow, plan on a girl. Prediction outcome: BOY
