Thanks for the link Lolly, sounds like a bit of fun! Am going to try it. Have you tried the Chinese Gender prediction test? Wonder if you get boy with that one too? X

 

[SaucySac38]

Can't believe I am almost 10 weeks. Feeling okay today though I have some sniffles, exhaustion and acne which I have not had in ages. Geez, being pregnant is a lot like being a teenager.

I did the chinese prediction test a while ago and that predicted boy too! There's actually a bit of science behind the red cabbage test so I'm excited to see if it's right. Here are my result's, what do you guys think?

Thought I'd post it all and see what you all think

Cabbage chopped

Cabbage post boiled for 10 mins

The test on the left (100ml cabbage water, 100ml urine) and control on the right (100ml cabbage water)

The control showed at a different angle to get a good view of the colour;

And finally, the test! Held up to the light;

I also dipped some rolled up loo roll in to both liquids so you could see the colour a bit more!

Can you tell I've enjoyed myself!?!?

So the theory is that if the water stays purple then the baby is a girl. If the water turns pink then it's a boy. At first I thought mine was purple, but when you hold it up to the light and on the dipped loo roll it really looks pink what do you guys think? Am I having a boy!?!?!

The ladies who follow my journal all think boy too

 

[munch]

AWESOME Lolly!! You should have been a science teacher....A+ for your experiment. I am going to try it tomorrow now. So what's the actual science behind it? Hormones acting as an enzyme to break down a chemical in the cabbage colour? Or something like that.

Glad you enjoyed it Lolly, looks like a fun thing to do. Looking forward to finding out if you are indeed carrying a boy.

 

[ttc_lolly]

I recommend for everyone to give it a go! Even if it's wrong, it's very fun

This is what I've copied from a site;

The science behind this baby gender prediction test is pretty simple. Theoretically, your urine pH (how acidic or basic it is) changes based on whether you're pregnant with a boy or a girl. I believe that's how the baby gender prediction tests you can buy in the store work too. But they can be a little pricey. Red cabbage has pigments in it that are sensitive to pH and turn a different color based on how acidic or basic a solution is

 

[Baby Bell]

Haha I might I've it ago, next time I'm At the supermarket, get some red cabbage

 

[1cre8tivgrl]

I think we should all do it and keep track to see how many were right

 

[trgirl308]

Cabbage is one of the things that makes me want to hurl right now... there is no way I am going near that test. lol

 

[ImSoTired]

That cabbage test is pretty interesting. Looks fun but I don't know if I'll do it. At least not yet. lol

Feeling queasy today and this worrying never goes away. I wish I could know if baby was ok! Ugg, feeling so cranky and crappy.

 

[ttc_lolly]

From what I've read online it looks like the best time to do the cabbage test is between 8-10weeks, but I've seen lots of demonstartions done at different stages too that came out correct!
