If the ring starts swinging in a circle, it's a girl. If the ring starts swinging back and forth (towards and away from your stomach), it's a boy. My mom said it worked for both my brother and me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/old-wives-tales-about-babys-sex#post-1513771 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 09:58:16 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1513771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The cabbage test shows boy! But I didn't have much pee in me so I have to try again later. For scientific purposes... yeah.</p> <p>@dc yoga bee: Thank you!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/old-wives-tales-about-babys-sex#post-1513627 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 08:36:34 +0000 dc yoga bee 1513627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So excited for you friend!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/old-wives-tales-about-babys-sex#post-1513541 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 07:38:07 +0000 cookiemomster 1513541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The nub theory, the pencil test, being sick, and my skin all agree that I'm having a girl. They're right! The babycenter chart was the only one that predicted a boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/old-wives-tales-about-babys-sex#post-1513528 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 07:25:27 +0000 Ash 1513528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: the baby center chart was wrong for me but everything said girl and I had a little boy :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/old-wives-tales-about-babys-sex#post-1513502 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 06:42:57 +0000 SweetiePie 1513502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baking soda, the Chinese Gender chart and lots of other wives tales have said and still say girl for me. But I'm very much having a boy! The only one that for sure is accurate is my skin - I have the best skin of my life right now and I am prone to breakouts normally. This is what made me second guess because I had been sure it was a girl.<br /> Most of these were wrong for me:<br /> <a href="http://www.bellybelly.com.au/pregnancy/old-wives-tales-boy-or-girl#.Uy11j-29LCQ" rel="nofollow">http://www.bellybelly.com.au/pregnancy/old-wives-tales-boy-or-girl#.Uy11j-29LCQ</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/old-wives-tales-about-babys-sex#post-1513492 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 06:27:51 +0000 sorrycharlie 1513492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baking soda was wrong for me but baby center was right :) nub theory also was right! And, I was pretty sick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/old-wives-tales-about-babys-sex#post-1513364 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 23:14:57 +0000 Mrs. M 1513364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Chinese calendar was wrong for my daughter and now also with my second pregnancy (says girl, but we are having a boy). The theory about morning sickness hasn't held true for my current pregnancy. I had horrible morning sickness with my girl (which followed the old wive's tale), but now I have even worse morning sickness with a boy! Most people thought we were having another girl because of this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/old-wives-tales-about-babys-sex#post-1513345 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 22:47:56 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1513345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: Girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/old-wives-tales-about-babys-sex#post-1513342 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 22:42:57 +0000 Bao 1513342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Panda: what does the babycenter chart say? I swear by that one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/old-wives-tales-about-babys-sex#post-1513340 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 22:40:41 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1513340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMccarthy: On the link you sent me it says girl, but others I've taken say boy. So I guess it's right either way ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/old-wives-tales-about-babys-sex#post-1513327 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 22:24:26 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1513327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know a lot of people who intelligender has worked for. There's also Ramzi's and The nub theory which we can use when you get your 11 week ultrasound is my favorite. Make sure to get as many shots of baby as you can and if you ask them they may even look for the nub. What does the Chinese calendar say?</p> <p><a href="http://www.mamasbabycupcakes.com/2012/10/a-full-list-of-gender-prediction-tests.html?m=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.mamasbabycupcakes.com/2012/10/a-full-list-of-gender-prediction-tests.html?m=1</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/old-wives-tales-about-babys-sex#post-1513299 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 21:52:55 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1513299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you tried any old wives' tales to predict the sex of your LO? Did it work? We will be doing the red cabbage test tomorrow! I was going to do it today, but I had taken my prenatal not long before so my pee was highlighter yellow. I've also done the baking soda test and it didn't fizz. Did I mention I'm only 9 weeks? lol</p> <p>Tell me about your experiences! </p>
