Gender Predictors
Thankfully technology now allows an ultrasound to give a pretty
accurate (but not always 100%) prediction of whether you're having
a boy or a girl, but you do have to wait till around the 20 week
mark to get it done.
In our mothers' and grandmothers' days they too had tricks for
gender predicting. Whether they work or not is anyone's guess - but
they're a bit of fun - and let's face it, there's a 50/50 chance of
getting it right. Let us know if any of these work for you.
- RING AND THREAD: String your ring on a piece of thread and hold
it over your belly. The theory is if the ring swings back and forth
then you're having a boy, if it goes round in a circle you're
having a girl.
- HOW YOU CARRY: This is one that you'll likely get from a dear
old lady in the supermarket aisle - if you're carrying high, it's a
girl. If you're carrying low, it's a boy.
- CRAVINGS: If you're giving in to your sweet tooth then you're
likely to have a girl, if you're all about pickles and cheese or
other salty foods then it's a boy.
- BABY'S HEART RATE : The theory being that if the baby's heart
rate is over 140 beats per minute then you're carrying a girl. Boys
are more likely to have a slower heart rate.
- ANCIENT CHINESE GENDER CHART: As the story goes, this chart was
discovered buried in an ancient Chinese tomb. You simply cross
reference the mother's age with her month of conception and it'll
tell you whether you're having a boy or a girl. You can download it here.
