Complete list of Old Wives Tales


Hey Ladies! Popping back from 2nd Tri to say Hi! And it's really great to be out of 1st tri :P

So I just found out I'm having a girlie today and my old wives tale list gave me 20 girl answers vs 6 boy answers, so I figured I'd share with you ladies. It helped me bond with baby in first tri and I hope it will help you too! Almost all of them you can tell in 1st tri (but not all, sorry)

I would love if you ladies could post your answers (though I know it's time consuming to deal with the text to feel free to simplify!)

I had mostly boy symptoms for my daughter, but she was definitely a girl.

As a mum of three I can say with conviction that only three of these were consistantly accurate with my other pregnancies.
Craving, what do you feel the gender is and you and OH can agree on names.

This time however.........

Craving: BOTH!
What do you feel like the gender is? BOTH
You and OH can agree on names: WE HAVE A NAME FOR BOTH

So I am completely lost

LOL...... !!!!

The thought has crossed my mind! That's what is making the wait for my scan all the more agonising. Or maybe I am getting less intuitive in my old age
