Most women are able to find out their baby’s gender during their 20 week ultrasound, but in the meantime it’s fun to let people guess what you are having based on all the old pregnancy wives’ tales.
Here are 9 ways that you can predict your baby’s gender.
1. How's the morning sickness?
Many women claim that they feel much sicker when they are pregnant with a girl than with a boy. And, research tends to support this claim as well. Several studies have found that women who had hyperemesis gravidarum (or extreme morning sickness) were more likely to be pregnant with girls.
2. Watermelon or basketball?
What does your belly look like? Does it look more like a watermelon or a basketball? If you look like you’re carrying a watermelon, you are having a girl. If you look like you’re sporting a basketball, you’re having a boy.
3. How fast is your baby's heart rate?
When your doctor runs the Doppler over your belly, how fast does your baby’s heart beat? They say that babies who have a slower heart rate, under 140 beats per minute, are boys and babies who have a heart rate that is faster than 140 beats per minute are girls.
4. Are you carrying high or low?
Does you feel your baby kicking your ribs and look like you’re carrying a watermelon? If so, you could be having a girl. But, if you’re carrying your baby lower and feel your baby kicking your bladder, you might be pregnant with a boy.
5. What are you craving ?
If you are in love with sugary sweets right now, you could have a little girl in your belly. On the other hand, if you’re snacking on salty or spicy foods, you may have a little prince growing inside of you.
6. How much have your breasts grown?
If your breasts have grown and don’t seem to be your own anymore, you could be having a daughter. If you haven’t noticed a dramatic change, it may mean you’re having a boy.
7. How are your skin, hair and nails
If you have shiny, healthy, fast growing hair and nails, you could be pregnant with a boy. If you’re glowing and your skin looks great, this could mean you’re having a boy as well. However, if your hair looks dull, and your face looks a teenager’s with break outs galore, you may be pregnant with a girl.
