24 Wives Tales to Predict the Gender (for fun)

He or She What Will it Be?

My hubby and I find out the gender September 25, 2014 and I am 17 weeks tomorrow (Sunday September 7, 2014), but me being an impatient Aries, I just can't help, but toy with all the 100% correct 50% of the time gender predictors.

:)

Old Wives Tale #1: Legs
If your legs get really big, you're having a boy. If your legs stay in shape and lean, it's a girl.
Boy






Old Wives Tale #2: Moodiness and a Little Pecker
If you are really moody, you are having a girl since you have extra girl hormones in you. Your pregnancy will make you smile and be more happy if you are having a boy because there's a little penis inside you. Not sure how true this is, but it sure does make me laugh!
Girl






Old Wives Tale #3: Bread
If you eat the ends of bread, it's a boy. If you eat the middle of the load, it's a girl.
Girl
(but who eats the ends anyways? I say a half point)






Old Wives Tale #4: Chinese Gender Chart
The Chinese Gender Chart claims to have an accuracy rate of over 90%. It is based on how old the mother is at conception and the month that she conceived. 
Boy 







Old Wives Tale #5: Mom's Beauty
Basically you're having a girl if your beauty disappears during pregnancy. It is said that the girl "steals" the mother's beauty. If you think that pregnancy has never made you look more beautiful, you might just be having a little boy.
Definite Girl
(I have never had such bad skin in my life)






 
Old Wives Tale #6: Dream of Sex of Baby
If you have dreams that you are having a boy, you will have a girl. If you dream about having a girl, it will be a boy. Dreams show the opposite of what you are having.

(I've had 2 boy dreams and 1 girl, but the girl dream was twins so who know. I call a draw)

 

 

 Old Wives Tale #7: Clumsy vs. Graceful

If the pregnant woman is graceful throughout her pregnancy, she's having a girl. If she becomes clumsy, she's having a boy.

Girl

 

Old Wives Tale #8: Toddlers

If a toddler boy expresses interest in a pregnant woman, she is having a girl. If he doesn't show interest, she's having a boy.

Girl

(My stepson who is not the cuddly type has been all over me kissing my belly, rubbing my belly, laying his head on me, patting my back. He's been clinging to me like crazy. Hmmmm...)

 

Old Wives Tale #9: Side You Most Rest On

If a pregnant woman prefers to lay on her left side, she's having a boy. If she prefers resting on her right side, she's having a girl.

Boy

 

 

 

 

 

 Old Wives Tale #10: Hands

When the pregnant woman is asked to show her hands, it's a boy if she keeps her palms down and a girl if she shows her palms up.

Girl

 

Old Wives Tale #11: Dad's Weight Gain

If the dad-to-be gains weight while you are pregnant, it's a girl. If he doesn't gain weight, you're having a boy.

Girl 

 

 Old Wives Tale #12: Breast Test

If a pregnant woman's left breast is larger than the right breast, she's having a girl. If the right breast is larger, it's a boy.

Tie

 

Old Wives Tale #13: Necklace Over Hand

Have someone hold a necklace over your hand. If the necklace swings back and forth, it's a boy. If it moves in a circle, it's a girl.

 Tie

(It swung back and forth at first, then circled, then back and forth)

 

Old Wives Tale #14: What Do You Think?

71% of the time, the mom-to-be knows what she is having.

Girl

  

Old Wives Tale #15: Morning Sickness

If you had a smooth pregnancy with no morning sickness, it's a boy. If you were sick or felt really nauseous during your pregnancy, count on a girl.

GirlGirlGirl

(I've been sooooo sick)

Old Wives Tale #16: Areola

If your areola (the part around your nips) have darkened, it's a boy.

Girl

(luckily I'm the same as pre-pregnancy) 

Old Wives Tale #17: Protein

When a pregnant woman craves meat and cheese, count on a boy, but if you crave sweets or citrus, girl.

Tie

(I crave cheese and milk, but pastries and pie)

Old Wives Tale #18: Feet

Are your feet colder now that you are pregnant? If so, you just might be having a boy. If your feet have stayed the same before pregnancy and during, you're having a little girl.

Girl 

Old Wives Tale #19: Hair on Legs

If the hair on your legs has been growing at record speeds, you might be having a boy.

Girl 

Old Wives Tale #20: Hands are Dry

If your hands are constantly dry, it's a boy.

Girl 

Old Wives Tale #21: Urine

What color is your pee? If it is bright yellow, you will have a little boy. If your urine is a dull yellow, plan on a girl.

Girl

(does clear count as dull yellow?)

Old Wives Tale #22: Nose

Do you feel like your nose is growing and getting wider? If so, you might be having a boy.

Girl

(I don't need a wider nose thank you.) 

Old Wives Tale #23: Headaches

If you are having headaches, you might be carrying a boy.

BoyBoyBoy

(I have the worst headaches, omgoodness) 

Old Wives Tale #24: Baby Names

It is said that when you can only think of specific names for a boy or a girl, you will have that particularly baby. 

Girl

(we've had our girl name since before I was pregnant, but we just can't decide on a boy)

  

So let's tally it up ladies and gentlemen!

Girl: 16                                                      Boy: 4

Tie: 4

We'll see in a few weeks how accurate this was for me!

So what answers did you get and were they right or wrong?

Don't forget this is just for fun and has no scientific evidence backing these up so take it with a grain of salt and don't get your hopes up on one specific gender because of these results. Pregnancy is turning out to be a tricky tricky thing and has all kinds of surprises in store for you.

I hope y'all have a wonderful evening, come back soon. :)

Additional edit: I know when I read a blog like this, I wish they would tell us what they ended up having at the end of a gender prediction survey so I didn't have to go click around and read extra blogs if I didn't want to or if I couldn't find the answer. So frustrating! So ladies and gentlemen, the "Old Wives Tales" turned out in our favor because we're expecting a little girl February 15, 2015! :)
