Old Wives Tale on Baby's Gender

There was twice we went for scanning to try to find out our baby’s gender, but our baby is very very very shy (OSCAR Scan took very long to turn to get a view of the nasal bone). He/she doesn’t wanna open the legs for us to know the gender! So, I found some old wives tale and see how accurate are they.



Old Wives Tale #1: Heart Rate 
If the baby's heart rate is above 140 bpm, it is said that the baby will be a girl. If it is under 140 bpm, then it will be a boy.
(Didn’t take note leh. :P)
Prediction outcome: Inconclusive

Old Wives Tale #2: Shape of Belly
If you are carrying high with a big, round belly, you are having a girl. If you are carrying low with a smaller belly that sticks straight out, it’s a boy.
(My tummy not really showing yet.)
Prediction outcome: Inconclusive

Old Wives Tale #3: Ring Test
Using a string, hang your wedding ring over your pregnant belly. You are having a girl if the ring swings back and forth and it’s a boy if it swings in a circle.
(Didn’t try. Haha…)
Prediction outcome: Inconclusive

Old Wives Tale #4: Acne
If you have acne while pregnant, it’s a girl. It’s thought that acne during pregnancy is caused by the extra hormones.
Prediction outcome: Boy

Old Wives Tale #5: Cravings
People believe that if you are craving salty foods while pregnant, you can count on having a boy. If you crave sweets, fruit, and orange juice, you are having a little girl.
(I can’t choose much to eat as I am a diabetic, but for snacks I definitely prefer fruits.)
Prediction outcome: Girl

Old Wives Tale #6: Skin under Left Eye
The eye test is when a “V” or “branches” appear when you pull down the skin under your left eye. If you see a “V” or “branches” in the white part, you’re having a girl.
(Nothing leh. )
Prediction outcome: Boy

Old Wives Tale #7: Time of Conception
The person that is most aggressive in bed at the time of conception is the opposite of what the baby will be.
(Err... I don’t know which is the exact day leh)
Prediction outcome: Inconclusive

Old Wives Tale #8: Legs
If your legs get really big, you’re having a boy. If your legs stay in shape and lean, it’s a girl.
(I am losing weight due to the strict diabetic diet, but the baby is growing normal. So… )
Prediction outcome: Girl

Old Wives Tale #9: Moodiness and a Little Pecker 
If you are really moody, you are having a girl since you have another extra girl hormones in you. Your pregnancy will make you smile and be happier if you are having a boy because there’s a little penis inside you.
(Hahahaha!)
Prediction outcome: Boy

Old Wives Tale #10: 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.
(Should I predict as I am 31 years old or 32 years old?)
Prediction outcome: 31 y/o - Boy. 32 y/o - Girl = Inconclusive

Old Wives Tale #11: Mom’s Beauty
Basically, you are 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, a little boy it is.
(Seriously, I think it is the weight loss…)
Prediction outcome: Boy

Old Wives Tale #12: 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 didn’t dream of anything!)
Prediction outcome: Inconclusive

Old Wives Tale #13: 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.
(I’m always clumsy la.)
Prediction outcome: Boy

Old Wives Tale #14: 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.
Prediction outcome: Girl

Old Wives Tale #15: 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.
Prediction outcome: Boy

Old Wives Tale #16: 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.
(I don’t know how to tell. Do I need to weigh them?)
Prediction outcome: Inconclusive

Old Wives Tale #17: What Do You Think?
71% of the time, the mom-to-be knows what she is having.
Prediction outcome: Boy

Old Wives Tale #18: 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.
Prediction outcome: Boy

Old Wives Tale #19: Areolae
If your areolae (the part around your nips) have darkened, it’s a boy. If they haven't, its a girl.
Prediction outcome: Boy

Old Wives Tale #20: Protein
When a pregnant woman craves meat and cheese, count on a boy. (No cravings of any sorts!)
Prediction outcome: Girl

Old Wives Tale #21: 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.
Prediction outcome: Girl

Old Wives Tale #22: Headaches
If you are having headaches, you might be carrying a boy.
Prediction outcome: Girl

Old Wives Tale #23: 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.
(We cannot think of any names. Hahaha! Whenever we discuss about names, I will end up “forget it la! Let a Master to calculate for us!”)
Prediction outcome: Inconclusive

Old Wives Tale #24: 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.
Prediction outcome: Girl

Result

Boy: 9
Girl: 7
Inconclusive: 8

So many inconclusive, is it still too early to tell? Minus the inconclusive results, it says a boy. We shall see how accurate are these… :D
