Has anyone tried this?? I know it’s just a dumb old wives tale and I fully expected it wouldn’t work but it gives me the same exact result every time I do it. It says boy, boy, boy, girl and stops. We are planning on one more baby but definitely no more after 4 haha. Obviously we’d love a girl - curious if this was accurate for anyone else!
You don’t have to be pregnant to do the test. How to do it: stick a sewing needle straight up into a pencil eraser. Tie a thread to the end of the needle and put your hand palm up on a table. With your other hand, hold the pencil over your wrist (try and keep it totally still!). It will either sway up and down your arm (elbow to hand) meaning boy or side to side (across your wrist) meaning girl. Between kids it will stop swaying and move in tiny circles, then it’ll start swaying in a direction again. When it stops that’s supposed to indicate how many kids you’ll have.
There are extra rules for twins/miscarriages etc - you can look up how to do it! But just want to see if anyone else had an accurate result
