Just found this and wondered if any of it was true for you? Particularly the hair growth.

(Baby was coy at the scan yesterday)

I had a prediction of 60% girl, and was also predicted girl on the chinese gender prediction calendar. I was convinced myself that I was carrying a girl, but DS2 is now 7 weeks old!!

MuffinMclay · 29/01/2008 13:12

53% chance of a girl here. Scan very clearly showed a boy. Interesting to see what comes out.

Chinese gender prediction calendar worked for all 4 of mine .... pure coincidence I know.

Grouchyoscar · 29/01/2008 13:59

Chinese Gender prediction calendar
Wedding ring dousing
Etc etc

All WRONG, DD is now a strapping 4.5 yr old DS

Good job I bought white baby clothes really

NoMoreHighHeels · 29/01/2008 14:06

53% girl according to the questions but I had to guess on the heartbeat question and is there really a difference between a watermelon and a beachball??

We don't know whether we are having a pink or a blue one - left it as a surprise, so we'll see in a few weeks. Everyone keeps saying it's a girl though!

mummylittle · 29/01/2008 14:15

Ive just done the test and it says 69% girl, we are def having a girl had 3 different scans and a 4d scan xx

snooks · 29/01/2008 15:00

Mine said 60% chance of a girl, we found out at the 20 week scan that it is so correct here. Chinese predictor thingy was wrong though....And what's putting weight on your backside got to do with it

missvicki · 29/01/2008 15:19

Just did the test 60% chance of a boy. We haven't found out the sex yet might ask at 30week scan, but mothers intuition makes me think i'm carrying a boy so will be intresting to see!

scaryhairycat · 29/01/2008 16:06

60% girl for me, which is right as the scan revealed it is a girl. Chinese calender said girl too.

53% girl, chinese calendar says girl,completely different pregnancy than with DS but 20 week scan said boy. So I presume all these are wrong.

Twiglett · 29/01/2008 16:16

oh barf .. it's in rhyming couplets

Mumblesmummy · 29/01/2008 18:07

Mine was totally wrong, it said girl and I'm deffo having a boy.

brendar75 · 31/01/2008 15:13

I answered this as for my last pg symptoms (when I had DS) and it came out as 53% girl - wrong! The Chinese gender predictor was wrong for him too. Hmm, maybe I can see what they say and know it's the opposite?

ThePFJ · 04/02/2008 01:58

It says 73% Girl for me. And the scan was definate on it being a boy. The nurse said there was no mistaking 'him'. (31 weeks pregnant now)

Niecie · 04/02/2008 02:47

The only thing that has worked for me and several people I know is the heartbeat one.

bigboydiditandranaway · 04/02/2008 04:05

What's the heartbeat one then, i'm very intrigued(can't believe i'm eating toast at this time in the am or even up!)

Egypt · 04/02/2008 04:58

the only thing that is consistent here is that it seems to be telling everyone - girl!

Niecie · 04/02/2008 10:52

Boys have slower heartbeats (about 140ish) and girls are slightly faster at 150ish.

I did once read why there was a scientific reason why this might be case but still not sure if it isn't total hogwash though!

As I say, it worked for me and people I know. However, to be certain of my results I would have to have a girl and she would have to have a higher heart rate for me to be convinced and that is taking scientfic research a bit too far.

kayzr · 04/02/2008 10:56

I did it out of memory and it says I was having a girl. DS is now 10 months old.

BabyEllsBells · 04/02/2008 11:46

53% boy 47% girl too close to call lol

sleepdeprivationandme · 04/02/2008 11:52

Did it from memory also - 60% girl. Had a boy.
