Mister or Miss?

Gender Old Wives Tales

I thought it would be fun to go through some old wives tales and try to predict the baby's gender. Although we are still not finding out until baby is here. I gathered up some popular wives tales and answered them. Here are the results.

1: Heart Rate - Girl
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. 


2: Acne - Boy

If you have acne while pregnant, it’s a girl. It’s thought that acne during pregnancy is caused by the extra hormones.

3: Cravings - Boy but honestly depends on the day

Some believe that if you are craving salty foods while pregnant, count on a boy. If you crave sweets, fruit, and orange juice, you are having a girl. 

4: Legs - Girl although I wouldn't call them "in shape" but they are the same 

If your legs stay in shape and lean, it’s a girl. If your legs get really big, you’re having a boy. 

5: Moodiness - Girl

If you have mood swings you are having a girl because you have extra girl hormones in you. If you are happy go lucky you are having a boy.

6: Chinese Gender Chart - Boy

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. 

7: Dream of Gender - Boy, I have only had one vivid dream of the gender and it was a girl

Dreams of a boy, you are having a girl. Dreams of a girl, you are having a boy.


8: Clumsy vs. Graceful - Girl 

If the pregnant woman is graceful throughout her pregnancy, she’s having a girl. If she becomes clumsy, she’s having a boy. 

9: Side You Most Rest On - Boy

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. 

10: Dad’s Weight Gain - Boy

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.

11: Morning Sickness - Boy

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. 

12: Protein - Girl

When a pregnant woman craves meat and cheese, count on a boy. 

13: Feet - Girl

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. 

14: Headaches - Boy

If you are having headaches, you might be carrying a boy. 

15: Baby Names - Boy

It is said that when you can only think of specific names for a boy or a girl, you will have that particularly baby. 

Girl: 6

Boy: 9

Looks like it might be a mister but we will just have to wait and see.
