Have you taken a look at the date? I am due to give birth any day now! How exciting. A new super awesome human will enter the world in a matter of days (or horus?) One thing that has been on everybody’s mind is “What are you having?” I have always answered through my whole pregnancy “a baby of course!” As we are keeping gender a surprise. We have absolutely no idea if we have a little boy baby, or a little girl baby.

I happened to come across a list of fun old wives tales regarding gender prediction and here are my results.

How baby is carried? If baby is carried high, girl. If baby is carried low, boy.

Results. In the past month it seems lower, but the majority of it I seem high. – I’m going to say Girl

Show Your Hands. Get mom to be to show her hands. If she presents them palm up, it’s a girl. Palms down, it’s a boy.

Results. I’m palm up – Girl

Key Test. Get the mom to pick up a key. If she picks it up by round side, it’s a boy. If she picks it up by the long part that goes in the lock, it’s a girl.

Results. Picked it up round side. Boy.

Chinese Gender Predictor. Follow this Link.

Results. My Chinese age is: 30 & Baby Belly Bee was conceived in May. = Girl

Gut Feeling.

Results. I feel that baby belly bee is a girl, from the moment I found out I was expecting I thought it would be a girl. Until I had my first ultrasound at 14 weeks, then I thought that there could be a chance it is a boy. We will be thrilled if it comes out a boy, or a girl. I still have a gut feeling that is is a girl.

Nail/Hair health. Examine hair and nails of the mom to be. If they are healthier and growing faster than pre-pregnancy, it’s a boy. Otherwise, it’s a girl.

Results. Boy. My hair & nails have never looked so good.

Mothers Looks. If a mother has an increase of acne then girl, if smooth skin boy.

Results. I have never broken out so bad in my whole life, even those teenage years during puberty was it never this bad. Girl. This kid is stealing my good looks!

Mayan Gender Prediction. Look at age of mother and year of conception. If both are even or both are odd, it’s a girl. If one is even and one is odd, it’s a boy.

Results. I was 28 at time of conception, and it is currently 2011. = Boy

Mother’s Age and Month of Conception. If you combine your age at the time of conception with the number of the month you conceived and the result is even, it’s a boy. If it’s odd, it’s a girl.

Results. 28 + 5 (May) = 33 (Girl)

Foot Temperature. If your feet become cold more easily, it’s a boy. If not, it’s a girl.

Results. My feet are colder. I use to walk around barefoot all the time but now they need socks. Boy.

Sleeping Position. If you lie on your left when sleeping, it’s a boy. If you lie on your right, it’s a girl.

Results. I sleep on my left normally, but just before I found out I was expecting I started sleeping on my right and I did that for a few months, now I’m back to my left. Gender Unknown?

Cravings. If what mom craves are salty, it’s a boy. If they’re sweet, it’s a girl.

Results. I love my salty/savoury snacks, though I do have a secret stash of sugary treats. I’m going Gender Unknown on this. I just like food. I do love peaches. Those are sweet.

Headaches. If you’re more prone to headaches, it’s a boy. If not, it’s a girl.

Results. No additional headaches. Girl.

Pillow Test. If your pillow faces north, it’s a boy. If it faces south, it’s a girl.

Results. My pillow faces east. Gender Unknown?

Baby’s Heart rate. If the heart rate is higher than 140 bpm, it’s a girl. If it’s lower than 140 bpm, it’s a boy.

Results. The last few appointments heart rate has been over 140 bmp, and nearing the 150 bmp range. Girl!

Morning Sickness. A lot of morning sickness indicates a girl, little to no morning sickness indicates a boy.

Results. I had a bit of morning sickness but nothing that really stopped my regular life schedule. I’m going with Boy on this one.

Ring Test. Tie ring on a string and dangle over wrist or belly. If it swings in a circle, it’s a girl. If it swings back and forth like a pendulum, it’s a boy.

Results. Not known, as I cant find any string. lol!

Final Results. 8 Girls. 5 Boys. 4 Unknown Genders. 47% chance of girl, 29% chance of boy and 23% of an unknown gender hermaphrodite child.

What do you think I’m having?
