Did any of you do the ring gender prediction thing? and was it right?

[JamesAndTheGiantBanana]

I've just done it and it swung in a circle, which some websites say means it's a girl (and irritatingly some websites say swinging to and fro means it's a girl!)

If you did it, what result did you get, and was it right in the end?

my big sister did this trick on my little sister and the ring swung to and fro, big sister said 'it's a boy!' and sure enough it was a little born who was born 6 weeks ago and is gorgeous

someone did it to me and said boy - DS is snoring next door. It went in a spinning circle.

A friend did it when I was expecting ds and was convinced it was going to be a girl...

My friend did this to me last week and it said i'd have two girls and a boy,i've already got two girls and have just found out i'am pregnant this morning so will have to wait and see

I did it and predicted girl. DD is now 2.2.

I put more faith in the scan results though!

Congrats, Tobago!

Thanks everyone - I wish there was a definitive answer on whether circling or to and fro'ing meant girl or boy - a lot of the old wives tails seem to be pointing towards a girl for me - about a month til my 20 week scan though so I suppose we'll know soon enough.

my sil's aunty did it on me, and got it wrong. she said boy, dd was well and truly a girl.

Yes my MIL tried it and no, it wasn't right!

I've done it and it was right for both ds and dd.

I've also just bfp and it says boy sooooooooooo... watch this space. well if you've got from now till july

Oh and round ment girl and side to side boy.

It has been right for all of mine!

My mother insisted on doing it every time I was preg and I have boy, boy, boy, and have had 2 scans in as many weeks and it looks like this one is a girl, which she also did with my wedding ring hung off a piece of my hair.

For me round means girl and back and forth boy.

You guys are not remotely serious are you ??
I personally find this whole idea so crazy / silly / odd. OK in victorian times but in 2009, really ??

BECAUSE.....

In my last pregnancy people actually said to me, things like, more heartburn / morning sickness / higher bump means it must be a boy etc etc
which used to make me laugh like a drain as I knew I was carrying Boy and Girl Twins !!!!

my godmother did the ring thinkg on her DIl and sadi the baby would be a boy. Well the scan said the baby was a girl. A boy was born - the scan was worng and godmother was right all along and never doubted it either

The nursery was quickly changed and so was the name!!

think its just a bit of fun gelamum...?
i personally think my results are fluke. but it keeps my mother happy and does no harm.
