As much as I want to believe it, I know it is not true or if there is something true about it, is probably five percent of the reality. They say that if you are carrying the extra weight around the hips and bottom and the hair on your legs is not growing any faster during your pregnancy, so it's a girl.
They say boys are carried low and sleeping in a bed with your pillow to the north indicates that you will be having a boy. You are having a girl if your feet are not colder than they were before pregnancy. You are having a boy if you prefer the heel of a loaf of bread.
Dad-to-be is gaining weight right along with Mom-to-be, which means that you'll have a boy. At least this is what the old wives say. And they also say a lot more like:
The maternal grandmother doesn't have gray hair (dyed or natural), so a girl will be born.
You didn't have morning sickness early in pregnancy, so it will be a boy.
You are looking particularly good during pregnancy. Therefore, it must be a boy, because girls steal their mother's looks.
Your chest development has not been very dramatic during pregnancy. You should expect a boy.
Since the sum of the mother's age at conception and the number of the month of conception is even, it will be a boy.
A needle on a thread held over you belly moves from side-to-side, so it will be a girl.
Your urine is a dull yellow color, so you will have a girl.
You have a craving for salty or sour foods, which means that it is a boy.
Your nose hasn't changed during pregnancy, which indicates a girl.
You have been craving fruits, so it is a girl.
Your baby's heart rate is 140 or more beats per minute, so it's a girl.
You must have orange juice every day, so it's a girl.
You are having headaches, so it's a boy.
Your belly looks like a basketball, so it's a boy.
You show them the palm of your hand, so it's a girl.
You use the body of the mug, so it's a girl.
Well the truth is that I had all the signs for a baby boy and actually I am having a baby girl. To me it is already proven that the old wives tales are just tales. Sometimes they can guess, but in general is a myth.
The daddy is the one who determines the sex and the mommy just has to hope for a healthy baby- either a little boy or a girl.
The only way to get an accurate baby gender prediction is via a medical test. An amniocentesis sampling test will be able to accurately predict the gender of your baby. Doctors will not perform these invasive tests just for the purpose of baby gender prediction. Ultrasounds can provide an semi-accurate baby gender prediction as well, but wrong gender predictions are made regularly.
