10 Wives Tales for Determining the Baby's Gender

1. Heart Rate. If the baby's heart rate is above 140, it's a girl. Below and it's a boy.
This one confuses me because when should you take the measurement? Hailey was 129 at 7 weeks, 169 at 11 weeks, 144 at 15 weeks and 157 at 18 week. So far, baby's heartbeat has been 165 at 10 weeks, 176 at 13 weeks and 138-141 at 15 weeks.

Predictor says: SPLIT boy/girl

2. How You Carry.
If you are carrying big, round and high, it's a girl. Low and all in front is a boy.
Well, I'm 5'1". I carry wherever it can fit, so I feel like it's all over. I feel my sides have expanded, so…

Predictor says: GIRL

3. Acne.
If your skin gets worse, it's a girl. If your skin is clear, it's a boy.
My skin had been rough for me. I usually have clear skin, but I've had several big, deep zits show up and stick around. Ugh.

Predictor says: GIRL

4. Cravings.
Sweet cravings means it's a girl, salty cravings points to boy.
Olives, potato chips, soups… GIVE ME SALT.

Predictor says: BOY

5. Morning Sickness.
If you're sick as can be, it's a girl. Feeling fine? It's a boy.
It's been more intense and lasting longer than it did with Hailey.

Predictor says: GIRL

6. Skin Test.
Dry, rough skin means it's a boy. Soft skin means it's a girl.
…or could it just be winter? Either way, my skin is dry.

Predictor says: BOY

7. Chinese Gender Chart.

This 'method' told me Hailey was a boy, FYI.

Predictor says: BOY

8. Leg Hair.
If your leg hair grows faster, it's a boy. If not, it's a girl.
I haven't noticed a big difference, but I'm in jeans all the time!

Predictor says: GIRL

9. Mood.
If you're moodier than usual, it's a girl. If you're chill, it's a boy.
Oh man, have my emotions been all over the place this time! I can cry on cue.

Predictor says: GIRL

10. Mother's Instinct
I feel like every real (ok, mythical) sign points to girl. However, my gut just tells me boy. It's important to note that I was also convinced Hailey was a boy! I'm so ready to find out if my motherly instinct has failed me twice in a row or if I'll be batting .500.

Predictor says: BOY
