Thread Starter 
What could be more fun than trying to guess the sex of your baby-to-be? Everyone wants to get in the game. Don't be surprised if someone you've never met stops you at the grocery store, offering a prediction of your baby's gender. For hundreds of years, expecting moms have relied on time-tested methods of guessing their baby's sex. Even though these old wives' tales are far from foolproof, they are certainly more fun than their more reliable successors, amniocentesis and ultrasound. Enjoy guessing your baby's sex!

Umm Nope not right for me. Especially the Morning sickness, I don't want protien or cheese at all, I haven't had a headache at all (thank goodness the migraines let up after getting pregnant). Pretty much all of them are wrong for me But the Chinese birth chart said it would be a boy.

Almost all wrong - I had 2 boys -

It's a boy if:


You didn't experience morning sickness in early pregnancy I was on Zofran my morning sickness was so bad and I was losing so much weight
Your baby's heart rate is less than 140 beats per minute Ryans was usually over 156, Aidans over 150
You are carrying the extra weight out front ok yes - I only gained weight in my belly
Your belly looks like a basketball Yes, for both kids I looked like I had a basketball under my shirt literally
Your areolas have darkened considerably Nope
You are carrying low I suppose I carried normal - I guess low
You are craving salty or sour foods I craved fruit and strwberries, so no
You are craving protein -- meats and cheese not at all
Your feet are colder than they were before pregnancy I dont remember
The hair on your legs has grown faster during pregnancy eww. but all hair everywhere grows faster when pregnant because of the vitamins I believe
Your hands are very dry yes- but from washing them a million times so I dont get sick!
Your pillow faces north when you sleep I never used a pillow for my head, it was always between my legs
Dad-to-be is gaining weight, right along with you no, never
Pregnancy has you looking better than ever I dont think so
Your urine is bright yellow in color not unless I didnt drink enough
Your nose is spreading NO!
You hang your wedding ring over your belly and it moves in circles ha- no- tried this one
You are having headaches no
You add your age at the time of conception and the number for the month you conceived and the sum is an even number no, that = 29
