Using some of the old wives tales I have decided to try them out and see what they say I will be having this pregnancy.
Below are some of the ones that I did, and the results to the tests. There are also some that I didnt get to trying. At the very end you will see the results my gender scan.
Chinese Prediction
The Chinese Pregnancy Calendar is very ancient and is said to be over 700 years old. The legend said that it was found in a royal tomb by a Chinese scientist. It was recently discovered and is used now to predict the gender of the unborn baby. The Chinese Pregnancy Calendar is based on mother's lunar age at the time of conception and month of conception.
The Calendar says that I am having a BOY based on my age and my month of conception.
Heart beat
If your unborn baby's heart rate is higher, above 140 beats per minute, that means you're carrying a girl. A lower heart rate below 140 bpm means you're having a boy.
According to the heart beat at 15w2d I am having a GIRL
Carrying High, Carrying Low
The way you are carrying during your pregnancy is one of the most often cited ways of determining the sex of your baby. The general story goes that, if you're carrying low, you're having a boy. If you are carrying high, then you must be having a girl. Science says "NO, NO, NO!" to this: the way you carry is determined by muscle and uterine tone as well as the position of your baby. But who's to say that boys don't like being lower in their mom's stomach while girls prefer a view from the top?
From a poll on my Facebook Page I am carrying high. Which would mean I am having a GIRL
Ring/needle on string over the belly
Take a pin, needle, or wedding ring and attach it to a thread or strand of hair. Hold the dangling item over mom to be’s belly while she is lying down. If the needle or wedding ring swings in a strong circular motion, you will be having a girl. If it moves in a to and fro motion like a pendulum, you will be having a boy. An alternate version of this baby gender prediction method is to dangle the needle or wedding ring over the expectant mom’s wrist instead of belly.
From the movement of the ring over my belly(back and forth) I am having a BOY
Ramzi Theory
In using this data, Dr. Ramzi Ismail concluded that at six weeks gestation, 97.2% of the male fetuses had a placenta or chorionic villi on the right side of the uterus. When it came to female fetuses, there were 97.5% of the chorionic villi or placenta on the left side of the uterus.
The placenta is on the right, and according to Ramzi's Theory it is a BOY
Baking soda
So you put a teaspoon of baking soda in a cup (mine was disposable) then put a little bit of pee in the cup, and if it sizzles, it's a boy, and if it does nothing, it's a girl! Supposedly your urine is more acidic if you're carrying a boy, (hence the sizzling action) and more alkaline if you're carrying a girl
When I performed this test the baking soda didnt sizzle or bubble. Meaning it is a GIRL
Drano(I did not try this test)
Photo is example
What is needed for the Drano Prediction Test
Approx 2 table spoons of Crystal Drano
Medium Glass or glass jar. It is best to just throw the mixing glass away after performing this test.
Two to Three ounces of urine. preferably the first morning urine.
Take the test materials outside. Add your your urine to the glass jar with the crystal drano in it.
There will be a rapid chemical reaction and it is best to stay well away from the glass jar while the fumes are being produced.
When the reaction stops, observe the color of the test.
If the mixture darkens to a brownish color within the first 10 seconds its a boy
If there is no darkening or color change after 10-15 seconds its a girl
Red Cabbage(I did not try this test) Photo is an example
Cut half a red cabbage into little pieces. If you're not feeling morning sick at the time and can stomach some of the red cabbage, enjoy a few bites while cutting. Great fiber and tons of nutrients.
Bring about 2 cups of water to a boil. Add two cups of cabbage pieces and remove the pan from the heat to let the cabbage simmer for about 10 minutes until the water turns a deep purplish color.
Strain out the cabbage pieces and keep the water. Allow it to cool completely. Add equal parts of cabbage indicator water and urine. Concentrated urine (first thing in the morning, for example) works best, but try several times throughout the day. Watch for a color change!
This test says that a pink/red color indicates a boy and a purple color indicates a girl.
After getting a 3d ultrasound it was confirmed we are having a
BOY
