Boy or Girl?
30 Fun Ways to Guess Your Baby's Sex
by Catherine Frederick
Could there be anything more fun than trying to guess the sex of your baby? Your growing belly will quickly become the object of attention and everyone wants in on the game- even total strangers. While I was pregnant, I had more than one well meaning woman stop me and say, "Wow! You sure are carrying that baby low- it must be a boy! Am I right?" You should have seen their faces when I told them "Yes, its a boy". You would have thought they had just won the lottery- either that or they expected a prize to fall out from between my legs.
For years, moms-to-be have relied on time-tested methods of guessing their baby's sex. OK- we know- wives' tales. But it's fun- so humor us and embrace the game.
It's a boy if:
You didn't experience morning sickness in early pregnancy
Your baby's heart rate is less than 140 beats per minute
You are carrying low or carrying the extra weight out front (guess those women were right)
Your belly looks like a basketball
Your areolas have darkened considerably
You are craving salty or sour foods
You are craving protein -- meats and cheese
Your feet are colder than they were before pregnancy
The hair on your legs has grown faster during pregnancy
Your pillow faces north when you sleep
Your urine is bright yellow in color
Your nose is spreading
You hang your wedding ring over your belly and it moves in circles
You are having headaches
You add your age at the time of conception & the number for the month you conceived & the sum is an even number
It's a girl if:
You had morning sickness early in pregnancy
Your baby's heart rate is at least 140 beats per minute
You are carrying high or carrying the weight in your hips and rear
Your left breast is larger than your right breast
Your hair develops red highlights
Your belly looks like a watermelon
You are craving sweets
You are craving fruit and/or orange juice
You are moodier than usual during pregnancy
Your face breaks out more than usual
You refuse to eat the heel of a loaf of bread
Your pillow faces south when you sleep
Your urine is a dull yellow color
You hang your wedding ring over your belly and it moves from side to side
You add your age at the time of conception & the number for the month you conceived & the sum is an odd number
