SadieBee: Yay! I was so excited the night before my anatomy scan that I could hardly sleep! Lol.
As for the Old Wive’s Tales
Linea Negra: Boy
Chinese Gender Chart: Mostly Girl
Acne: Boy (My skin looks pretty good…like when I’m on BC.)
Morning sickness: Girl
Side you sleep on: Not sure…I sleep on both sides.
Hands (soft = girl, dry = boy): Not sure. I think my hands are soft.
Cravings (sweet = girl, salty/savory = boy): Boy in the beginning.
Baby’s Heartrate (over 140 = girl, under 140 = boy): Girl
Weight gain (spread all over = girl, just in the belly = boy): Boy
Necklace Test: Boy
Right/Left Wrist Pulse: Boy
Mother’s intuition: Boy in the beginning. Had a dream the doc told me baby was a boy and then 2 drems when he told me baby was a girl. My husband and mom thought baby was a girl from the very beginning.
SO, I had to see my OB at 18 weeks and he tried to see the sex, but baby’s legs were crossed and baby was in a ball using my placenta as a pillow AND had the nerve to be sticking their tongue out! Lol. A theme since 11 weeks. So cute. 🙂 Went back to the doc at 19 weeks and Baby G. is a GIRL!! So most of the old wive’s tales said boy, but she is all girl! 🙂

I looked at the Chinese gender chart. I wasn’t 100% of the date of conception. So, the gender chart fell between a boy and a girl.
Surprise! I had twins.
A boy and a girl.

SadieBee: I’ve had one of each, and all the old wives tales that I am aware of were correct both times. Your list doesn’t include the big one everyone mentioned to me: If you carry high it’s a girl, if you carry low, it’s a boy. Very true in both my cases. Of the ones you list, here are the ones that also correlated to my experience: worse morning sickness with the girl, her heartrate was higher than my boy’s, and I craved sweets with the girl. I also gained weight all over with the girl and just in the belly with the boy, but I think that’s more because the girl was first and I gained a LOT more with the first. I realized my mistake and was very careful not to gain more than I should with the second. The rest of your list, I don’t remember. I did not have any gut feeling either time.

Linea Negra (pelvis to belly button = girl, all the way up to your ribs = boy): I don’t have one..
Chinese Gender Chart: Boy
Acne (more = girl, less = boy): no acne so boy
Morning sickness (bad = girl, mild or nonexistant = boy): mild – boy
Side you sleep on (right = girl, left = boy): both?
Hands (soft = girl, dry = boy): my hands are soft… haha I guess it would mean girl
Cravings (sweet = girl, salty/savory = boy): more sweet, girl
Baby’s Heartrate (over 140 = girl, under 140 = boy): no idea
Weight gain (spread all over = girl, just in the belly = boy): used to be just in the belly but now it’s spreading everywhere!!
Mother’s intuition (do you just have a feeling?): my gut said boy but I kept going back and forth
21 wk U/S confirmed… BOY! I actually just had another U/S at 35 weeks and I saw his testes and penis again so I think we’re still good 🙂
I had also done that string with a ring on it thing that you swing over your belly. I had gotten the circle and the swing which in different websites said different things. Some said that the circle meant boy and others said girl so I had no idea, I don’t think that worked either…

I don’t know if this is an old wives’ tale, but has anyone repeatedly dreamt that their baby was one gender? I have had three dreams so far (at almost 13 weeks) in which it was a boy, and have never dreamt that it was a girl. I’ve been told that dreams like this often turn out to be accurate due to mother’s intuition, but needless to say I’m a little skeptical.

SadieBee: What are you having? Noticed you posted this 5 hours ago, and you said it was in 5 hours. Either way I hope she/he is happy and healthy. My intuition said girl all along, and we now have a beautiful 10 month old daughter. I still answered even though I haven’t been pregnant in 10 months, just thought it would be fun to answer.

Most of these were boys many people were surprised, his whole family was boys. We had the first girl.

I had a girl and here’s my predictions:

Side you sleep on (right = girl, left = boy): Boy
Hands (soft = girl, dry = boy): Boy
Cravings (sweet = girl, salty/savory = boy): I didn’t really have cravings!
Baby’s Heartrate (over 140 = girl, under 140 = boy): Girl
Weight gain (spread all over = girl, just in the belly = boy): Boy
Mother’s intuition (do you just have a feeling?): Boy.
Yeah, so they never really worked out for me!

daisyfay: I’ve actually heard that you have the opposite of what you dream about. I’ve never really had any dreams about the baby, though, so I can’t comment on that one.
Well, they were mostly wrong for me – I’m having a little girl!
