Just for fun.. for those who already have kids! How accurate were the old wives tales for your previous children? Surprisingly mine were pretty accurate even though I don't really believe in it!

My 1st boy - no morning sickness, carried really low. Heart beat was always below 150. Chinese gender chart said boy. Ring test said boy.

2nd had a girl - had morning sickness, heartbeat was usually around 150, Chinese gender chart said girl. Ring test said girl. Also tried baking soda test which actually said boy.

This pregnancy is leaning towards girl so far! Already feeling sick, Chinese gender chart says girl. Basking soda test says girl. The only thing I've never looked into before is the shettles method. I know we convieved on or very close to O day which apparently means boy! Never knew about this with previous pregnancies so I guess I'll see what's true this time!
 
First three, horrible sickness all the way through all boys, this and last no sickness really, one was a boy, this one i don't know! lol :thumbup:
 
I had the worst morning sickness with my boy. The girl wasn't so bad.

My boy's heartbeat was always under 150, and my girl's heartbeat was in the 160's, though. So I guess that one was right.

The Chinese gender predictions were completely opposite, hehe.

I have NO idea about this current baby. I've only had very very early heartbeat readings, which aren't reliable for gender prediction (or so I've been told). I HAVE been having very, very bad morning sickness this time. Worse than with my daughter. So maybe a boy again? A few more weeks before I can find out.
