Testing the Old Wives Tales

Our big ultrasound is tomorrow and on top of finding out that baby Johnson is doing ok we'll also hopefully find out the gender. So in preparation of our appointment tomorrow we thought it would be fun to see what the old wives tales have to say.

Direction of the Ring - BOY
Many people believe in the good old ring test as a way to tell what the sex of their baby is going to be. In this test you hang your wedding ring from a string over your belly. If the ring swings back and forth your baby is a girl. If it swings around in a circle then it is a boy.


Fast Heart Rate Tale - GIRL
Some people believe that if your baby has a fast heart rate, above 140 beats per minute, then that means you are having a girl, and that if your baby’s heart rate is below 140 beats per minute then you are having a boy.

Cravings - BOY
Some people say that if you crave salty food while pregnant it means you are having a boy and if you crave sweet food while you are pregnant it means you are having a girl.

Morning Sickness - GIRL
If you had a smooth pregnancy with no morning sickness, it’s a boy. If you were sick or felt really nauseous during your pregnancy, count on a girl.

Chinese Gender Chart - BOY
The Chinese Gender Chart claims to have an accuracy rate of over 90%. It is based on how old the mother is at conception and the month that she conceived.


I guess we'll just have to wait and see what the ultrasound shows tomorrow!
