So are you expecting boy or girl? Every pregnant woman has been asked this question several times. Here are some prediction to find out baby’s gender. Remember predicting baby’s gender ultimately has about 50% chance that coming true, even the ultrasound gender determination can go wrong sometimes if the baby’s position is not appropriate. And it is not legal to find out baby’s gender before birth in the countries like India. If you are so curious to know about your baby’s sex check this out for fun. 🙂
Cravings:
If you are craving for salty food while pregnant then it’s a boy, if you crave for sweets, fruit juices you are having a girl. But in my case it got reversed, I craved for sweets and ice-cream when I was pregnant…and on D-day little boy was out. 🙂
High calorie diet:
It is found in a study that eating a high calorie diet at the time of conception and eating regular breakfasts increases the chance of having a boy than girl. When a pregnant women craves for protein rich food, count it as a boy.
Mayan prediction:
This says ‘add the mother’s age at conception and the year of conception’; if sum of those is even number then you are having a girl, if the sum is odd number then stock up the blue, it’s a boy. But for me this also didn’t work. I got even number and I had boy baby.
Chinese Gender chart:
Chinese gender chart says it’s accuracy of about 90%, which is based on how old the mother is at the time of conception and the month she conceived.
Morning sickness:
Most of the pregnant ladies experience morning sickness in the beginning. But some have it much worse, they may suffer from severe nausea and vomiting. The result at the end could be a baby girl. Blame is on pregnancy hormone hCG; female fetuses produce more than male fetuses, says researchers.
Shape of your belly:
People just to love comment on your baby bump. Aren’t they? If you are carrying high then you are pregnant with a girl. If you are carrying low then you are welcoming boy.
Weight gain:
One of the old wives tale goes like this; if your partner also gaining weight alongside you, that could be a sign that you are carrying a girl
Glowing skin or beauty:
If your beauty disappears during pregnancy then you are having a girl. It is said that the girl steals mother’s beauty. If you are looking beautiful than ever before then ready to receive a baby boy.
Pregnancy brain:
Are you extra forgetful during pregnancy? Some research suggests that women carrying baby girl are tend to underperform in memory test, compared to the women who is carrying a boy baby. So if you can’t remember like the way you do then you can consider it as a baby girl.
Fetal heart rate:
Check your ultrasound report for baby’s heart rate, if it is above 140bpm then it’s a girl says old wives tale. But absolutely no relation between the heart rate and gender. Normally baby’s heart beat ranges from 110 to 160bpm. If ultrasound happened during baby’s active phase then it may be higher considered to inactive phase.
Drano test:
The Drano test combines a tablespoon of Drano and urine together. If it turns green, it’s a girl. If it turns blue, then it’s a boy. Anyone tried this?
Linea Nigra:
The dark line that has appeared on your baby bump i.e., Linea Nigra is apparently telling whether you are carrying a boy or girl. If the line continues above your belly button, you are having boy. If it finishes below your belly button, you will have a baby girl.
Side you most rest on:
If you prefer to lay on your left side, you might be having a boy. If you prefer to lay on your right side the most, then you might be having a girl.
Breech baby:
When you are past 32 weeks pregnant and your baby hasn’t turned her head down? Then it’s time to think pink. Though it’s not sure why so…it has found that breech babies tend to be girls more often than boys.
So based on the above list of predictions do you think you are having a girl or boy…? Just don’t worry about the result as it is not based on any scientific research and just for fun.
Stay tuned for more… 🙂
