Which wives tales did you try, and were they right?

[Emma93]

I've got my gender scan tomorrow, so I'm going to try out a few wives tales today. So far the only one I've looked into is the heartbeat. This morning the heartbeat was 155-158 bpm and still sounding like a galloping horse! I have heard that having a wider-spread-everywhere bump indicates girl too. So tomorrow we shall see!

Which others can I try? And which were right/wrong for you?

The Chinese gender charts also say Girl... Xxx

Chinese gender scan was wrong for me (said girl I'm having a boy)

Things that were right...

Neat, front low bump
Right boob bigger than left
Hairy tummy (yuck lol)
No morning sickness
Craving milk
Mother's intuition (I knew it was a boy from day one - never even looked at girls stuff)

I had morning sickness this time and I didn't with my son. Which some people say indicates girl.
Heartbeat is over 140.
Chinese predictor said boy, which is wrong as I'm having a girl.

chinese gender - wrong
wedding ring - correct
shape of bump - correct
placement of sac in first scan - correct
morning sickness - wrong.

 

[Sophiasmom]

Chinese gender-wrong
Wedding ring- wrong
Intelligender test-wrong
Face/skin owt-wrong
Cravings-wrong
Hairy legs-wrong (although armpits are hairier)
Bump shape-right
Weight distribution-right
Heart rate-wrong

Most things pointed to girl except that I'm carrying differently than I did w DD, and I have no lines nigra on my belly this time where last time it was dark at this point! Even DH was convinced we were having another girl! It's a boy for us!!

I've always heard craving milk was a sign of expecting a girl?

I've had a complete mixture of the wives tales so no idea what I'm expecting, and I'm not finding out gender til birth. Have been convinced its a boy even though all guesses on my scan pic on two different gender predictor sites were girl, so will see if mummy's instinct was right in September!

I've wanted a lot of milk, but thought it was more a sweet craving rather than for the milk specifically, as I've wanted a lot of cereal, milkshake etc.

Chinese Gender chart, wrong.
Wedding ring, right.
No morning sickness, boy, right.
Craving more meat and real food than sweets, boy, right.
Hairier legs and hair on belly, right.
Not breaking out, right.
Heartbeat..kind of close. His little heartbeat stays around 150 rather than the 140 mark, but it's a boy. With dd, her heart beat was over 160 all the time, and sometimes close to 180.

 

[shaunasmommy]

Mother's intuition was correct for me also. As soon as I knew I was pregnant I knew it was a boy. I couldn't bear to look at girls stuff. Had 3 dreams that I had a baby boy as well.

For me...

Chinese gender chart...correct
Baking soda test...correct*
placement of sac in first scan...correct
Craving sweet things...correct
Heartbeat is anywhere from 139+ with my son I never saw it past 140bpm
Heartbeat sounding like a train only once sount like horses, so I'd say that was a bit off for me...but most things defiantly pointed to girl*

Also the thing people say about girls stealing their mothers looks. Ive had a rash on my face since 4weeks pregnant and it just won't budge! I don't usually ever have spots an never had anything like this with my DS
But everything else is the same as when I had my DS..x
