 Topic: predicting the sex
Posted: 22 August 2005 at 12:17am |

Stupidly I agreed with Lewis not to find out the sex of the baby....now this is killing me!!!!!! So have decided to resort to more unorthodox methods. However, due to my mind-boggling original predictin skills with jake, will try other people's ideas. So far have tried predicting with the Chinese Lunar chart (girl), dangling a pendant over my belly (kind went back and forth in a circular manner..hermaphrodite), was going to mix urine with bleach until I read that it can cause dangrous fumes and explosions. Any other old wives tales for me to try?????

I used one of my rings hung from a piece of my hair and it actually did predict what sex my kids were. As a joke we did it to my mum when I was pregnant with abby and it got all five of us right to. If you have any other children it will pick them up first. backwards and forward means a boy around in circles means a girl. You can either hold it over your tummy or stretch your thumb and index finger into an L and do it over the skin part of your hand by there.

I have no cravings.....well for a while it was chocolate cake but for the last week or so...nothing!
According to my scan I am having a girl......is that consistent with the theory?

LOL  Everyone has a theory! Random people - like shop assistants - have started predicting what I'm having! General consensus so far is that its a girl, tho I have had a feeling from the start its a boy - but who knows! I have been told its a girl cos I'm all out the front and that its a boy cos I'm all out the front!! Might try the ring and hair thing and see what that says...

Very weird... did the ring thing and held it over my belly. Well it just hung there doing nothing for a bit then it started doing big swings back and forth!! A boy apparently. I guess we'll find out in a few weeks if its right

Lizzle, silly! You know how terrible you are with suspense!!! Other people's pregnancies are bad enough, now having to wait another four months to find out about your own! What were you thinking? haha 
And don't buy into the old wives tales I would have been having a boy had I listened to anyone. Actually did listen to everyone. Very suprised at having a girl. I'm an idiot.

well, i figured if I coped with not knowing for nine months with Jake I could do it again. Now I wish I was like those cows at massey with the windows in their stomach (seriously, the have some plexiglass thing in for vet students), so i could have a wee peek. I'm thinking of studying sonargram things so I can tell from the ultrasound next time.

I will go to the doctor's this week (have been avoiding them after the said "blood test" - honestly, i tore while in labour, but am still terrified of a blood test needle) and try and work it out...probably still be wrong though

Ive just had a girl after four boys and really didnt notice anything different with the pregancies ....... except with my girl i noticed that my hair really slowed down in growth! I could go much longer between shaving my legs, plucking eyebrows etc (and slower hair growth is one of the old wives tales for girls) Also i hardly gained any weight with her (3.5kgs) and with the boys i gained anywhere from 14 - 24 kgs!
