I agree it's like a Ouija board, I just think maybe she's a great guesser :) </p> <p>With this girl I've had a sweet tooth, and I think I look terrible (face and hair), but I also work full-time and have a toddler and am just super tired all the time (too tired to worry about my hair, lol!). The heart rate test was wrong, I think...her heart rate has always been lower than E's was!</p> <p>@Mommyof2: Congrats on your boy!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baking-soda-gender-test#post-2374279 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 11:59:18 +0000 Mommyof2 2374279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ring test, baking soda, dreams and cravingS were correct for me.... it's a BOY!!!

My friend tried it (she's not pregnant) but it went in a perfect circle for her. I find out next week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baking-soda-gender-test#post-2331674 Fri, 23 Oct 2015 13:08:13 +0000 Mommyof2 2331674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Emilia80: ok so I tried it. First it went circles than it stopped that it went back and forth. My mother in law was here and I told her about it and she said to do it while laying down with ring on string on my tummy and the same it said boy! This is just for fun, I know but my husband is hoping for another girl and I could just see his face hahahaha! And he said babe, that's not scientific enough to tell me were not having another princess hahahahaha! His hopes are waaay up for a girl!! We shall see lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baking-soda-gender-test#post-2331094 Fri, 23 Oct 2015 01:19:38 +0000 Mommyof2 2331094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok so my friend is currently pregnantes with her 4th child. She already has 3 boys and they were hoping this one was a girl. She tried all of the old wives tales, even a red cabbage one (I have no idea how it works lol) and they all said boy. So a couple of weeks she did the baking soda and it said girl. Today she had her ultrasound and she is having a girl! I'm just glad she got what she wanted!!As for me it's just for fun lol. I will try the ring one and post it!! This just leaves me more anxious lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baking-soda-gender-test#post-2330997 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 21:59:44 +0000 Torchwood 2330997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Based on what I've read, the only "wive's tale" that holds up to actual testing is dreams. The mom is VERY slightly more likely to dream the correct sex. But it's a tiny difference from being random, just enough to be statistically significant. The ring test in particular seems absurd to me. Pretty sure it works the same way as a ouija board.</p> <p>That being said, the baking soda test was right for my cousin, the only person I know who tried it. I would at least test your baking soda with vinegar first, to be sure it's not old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baking-soda-gender-test#post-2330944 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 20:52:41 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2330944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did it for fun. It said girl and I had a girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baking-soda-gender-test#post-2330888 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 20:08:39 +0000 buttermilk 2330888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did it for fun several times in my pregnancy and it always said girl which is what we had! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baking-soda-gender-test#post-2330782 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 19:00:43 +0000 Emilia80 2330782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mommyof2: let me know what u end up getting </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baking-soda-gender-test#post-2330760 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 18:42:38 +0000 Mommyof2 2330760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Emilia80: I will definitely have to try this. I mean afterall there is a 50/50 chance hahahahah </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baking-soda-gender-test#post-2330759 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 18:42:00 +0000 Mommyof2 2330759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I don't have a bump yet or at least that big I don't lol but with my daughter I carried low and everyone argued it was a boy. Also, heartbeat was under 140 all throughout the pregnancy haha so idk! I never had a pimple throughout my first pregnancy and was a girl. So idk! I did crave a lot of sweets though. I am just intrigued since my symptoms are completely different. Yes, only time will tell!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baking-soda-gender-test#post-2330754 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 18:37:52 +0000 Truth Bombs 2330754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baking soda test said girl for me and I'm having a boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baking-soda-gender-test#post-2330751 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 18:37:01 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2330751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love old wives tales, but this one requires work :wink: </p> <p>@Mommyof2: do you have a bump? If you're carrying high it's a girl. DI'd you break out? If so- a girl. Is the heartbeat over 140? If yes, think pink. </p> <p>According to the tales except for morning sickness (I had none) I'm having a girl, but I keep dreaming boy. Only time will tell. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baking-soda-gender-test#post-2330750 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 18:36:15 +0000 Emilia80 2330750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mommyof2: ok so get ur engagement ring or wedding band or any ring that u wear and put it through a piece of your hair ( obv u need to rip a long peice of hair, if hair is short grab some thread)<br /> then place ur left palm laying flat ( need to show the inside of ur Palm)<br /> hang the ring / hair above the palm and watch it move. if it goes in circles it's a girl if it's swings back n forth it's a boy.<br /> remember though this will predict all children, living or miscarried, aborted.<br /> so after each time it moves it will come to a stop. so if it first starts going in circles wait for it to come to a stop then it will start to move again if u have more children. once it no longer moves it means that's all the children you'll have.<br /> hope that's clear explanation lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baking-soda-gender-test#post-2330709 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 18:04:53 +0000 Mommyof2 2330709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Emilia80: I actually haven't! How do you do that one? I've only tried the baking soda haha. My aunt says it's a boy because of the salty cravings and headaches lol! I honestly will be fine with either one, I just think it's fun lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baking-soda-gender-test#post-2330708 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 18:04:52 +0000 Foodnerd81 2330708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did it with C and it said boy, just like every other old wives tale, pretty much. I had a girl. </p> <p>I don't have the energy to get out a cup and try it again. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baking-soda-gender-test#post-2330705 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 18:00:03 +0000 Emilia80 2330705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mommyof2: hrmmm I have to try this. have u tried the ring thread to determine gender? that's more popular and usually more accurate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baking-soda-gender-test#post-2330698 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 17:47:59 +0000 ldh112 2330698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did it for fun and it was right. I had a girl :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baking-soda-gender-test#post-2330692 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 17:33:33 +0000 lawbee11 2330692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did it for fun. It said boy and I had a girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baking-soda-gender-test#post-2330691 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 17:33:31 +0000 Mommyof2 2330691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So supposedly you add two tbl spoons of baking soda on a clear plastic cup and on a different plastic cup you pee. After you peed you add pee to the baking soda and if it fizzles it's a boy if it's flat or no change its a girl. I don't think it's scientific but just for fun! I am 12 weeks! :wink: :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baking-soda-gender-test#post-2330690 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 17:31:12 +0000 BandDmommy 2330690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mommyof2: never heard of this test. Sounds like old wives tale. :wink: </p>
