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
