Boy or Girl?
One of your first thoughts when you find out your pregnant is “I wonder if it’s going to be a boy or a girl!“ And we all know it takes forever for that day to come when we finally find out. Finding out the sex of your baby depends on everything . . . the name, the nursery theme. It’s even hard to go shopping for your new baby when you don’t know the sex.
In the days before scans were available, women used all kinds of silly and weird methods to figure out the sex of their baby. Where they came up with these theories, is really unknown. Of course, we don’t go by any of these today but here are a few Old Wives’ Tales to share and laugh about with other expectant moms or make into a game at your baby shower. Remember though, they are ONLY for fun.
Which Boob is Bigger? If your left breast is bigger than the right during pregnancy, you’re having a girl. If the right is bigger, it’ll be a boy. If they are the same size, you’re in for a surprise!
Are you Grouchy? If you get moody during pregnancy you are more likely to have a girl. Now we all know why this one was thought of.
How are you Carrying? If you carry the baby out front (others can’t see your pregnancy from behind) then you will have a boy. If others can tell that you are pregnant when looking at you from behind, then you will have a girl.
Anyone have a Key? Have the mom-to-be pick up a key. If she picks it up by the round end, it will be a boy. If she picks it up by the long end, it will be a girl. Should she pick it up at the middle, twins are on the way.
How Old are you? If the mother’s age at conception and the year of conception are both even or both odd, the baby is a girl. If one is even and one is odd, the baby is a boy.
Pick a Number. Ask the mum-to-be to pick a number. Match the number with the corresponding letter of the alphabet (A=1, B=2 etc). Then ask her to choose a name beginning with that letter. If she chooses a boys name, it will be a boy. If she chooses a girls name, it will be a girl.
Swaying Pendant. Hang a gold pendant (preferably one the mother wears often) over the palm of the mother’s hand. If the pendant moves in a circular motion, it will be a girl. If it swings back and forth, a boy is on the way.
Who was more Aggressive? If you were the more aggressive partner when the baby was conceived, it will be a boy. If the father was the more aggressive, the baby will be a girl.
Did you get your Pregnancy Glow? If you suffer from acne during pregnancy, you will have a girl.
What Side do you Rest on? If she lies on her left, it’s a boy; on her right, it’s a girl.
Kid Instincts. If young boys (pre-school age) show interest in you while you’re pregnant, it will be a girl. If they ignore you, expect a boy.
The Answers in your Palms. Ask the mum-to-be to show you her hands. If she shows them palms up, it’s a girl; palms down, a boy.
Listen to your Dreams. If you dream of girls, you will have a boy. If you dream of boys, you will have a girl.
Yes, I know some are very strange and farfetched but I hope you’ve had fun with them and don’t forget that the real answer will be when you deliver.

Bleach $5.80 When it first appeared, Bleach seemed like a tuneful approximation of what grunge rock in the Northwest United States was supposed to sound like–gruff, enraged, sometimes tuneful, sometimes silly. Singer Kurt Cobain had the pipes to belt out such power trash as “Mr. Moustache” and the Shocking Blue’s “Love Buzz,” but considering the sheer volume of frustrated tuneage coming out of Seattle in 1989… |
