The number of old wives tales as to whether you are going to have a baby boy or a baby girl is as vast and as varied as the number of cultures in the world. All pregnancy old wives tales have a 50/50 chance of being correct, so why not have a little fun with them.
You’re more likely to be carrying a boy if…
- Your baby’s heartbeat is lower than 140 beats per minute.
- You’re carrying all out front.
- You’re carrying low.
- You’re blooming in pregnancy.
- You didn’t suffer from morning sickness in your first trimester.
- Your right breast is bigger than your left.
- You crave salty food or protein, such as cheese and meat.
- Your feet become cold more quickly than before you were pregnant.
- You combine your age at the time of conception with the number of the month you conceived and the resulting number is even.
- Your hair has become more full-bodied and shiny during pregnancy.
- The hair on your legs has been growing faster during pregnancy.
- You are more prone to headaches.
- Your urine is bright yellow.
- In ultrasound pictures, you notice that your baby has a sloping forehead and a squared lower jaw. This is called skull theory, and many moms swear by it.
You’re more likely to be having a girl if…
- Your baby’s heartbeat is faster than 140 beats per minute.
- You’re carrying all round.
- You’re carrying high.
- You’ve missed the “blooming” period altogether.
- You suffered morning sickness during your first 12 weeks.
- You crave sweet things, such as juice, fruit and sweets.
- You are more moody than usual.
- You combine your age at the time of conception with the number of the month you conceived and the resulting number is odd.
- Your hair has become thinner and dull during pregnancy.
- Your urine is dull yellow.
- In ultrasound pictures, your baby’s lower jaw is rounded and the top of the head is tapered. This is again attributed to the skull theory, which some moms believe to be accurate.
