Old Wives tails

So you'll soon learn that people LOVE to tell you what you're baby is going to be based on the old wives tails... which is REALLY annoying to me. Yeah had one lady ask me to turn around so she could see me from the back to announce it's a girl b/c when you're pregnant with a girl you carry it everywhere... well she must be pregnant with three girls! Stupid!

Sadly too everyone gets their old wives tails mixed up too... so here's a list and i'll highlight the ones that are true for me and you can be the judge...

It's a boy if:·
You didn't experience morning sickness in early pregnancy
Your baby's heart rate is less than 140 beats per minute
You are carrying the extra weight out front ·
Your belly looks like a basketball.
Your areolas have darkened considerably ·
You are carrying low ·
You are craving salty or sour foods ·
You are craving protein -- meats and cheese ·
Your feet are colder than they were before pregnancy ·
The hair on your legs has grown faster during pregnancy ·
Your hands are very dry ·

Your pillow faces north when you sleep · (What??? i don't know)
Dad-to-be is gaining weight, right along with you (that's just b/c my cooking has changed)
Pregnancy has you looking better then ever.
Your urine is bright yellow in color·
Your nose is spreading ·
You hang your wedding ring over your belly and it moves in circles · (yeah i'm not trying this)
You are having headaches ·
You add your age at the time of conception and the number for the month you conceived and the sum is an even number

It's a girl if:·
You had morning sickness early in pregnancy
Your baby's heart rate is at least 140 beats per minute ·
You are carrying the weight in your hips and rear ·
Your left breast is larger than your right breast ·(umm always has been)
Your hair develops Red highlights (i wouldn't know... it's dyed anyway)
You are carrying High
Your belly looks like a watermelon ·
You are craving sweets ·
You are craving fruit ·
You crave Orange Juice
You don't look quite as good as normal during pregnancy ·
You are moodier then usual during pregnancy
Your face breaks out more than usual ·
You refuse to eat the heel of a loaf of bread ·
Your breast have really blossomed (um no, they have just gotten heavier.. not so much bigger)
Your pillow faces south when you sleep (again i don't know)

Your urine is a dull yellow color
You hang your wedding ring over your belly and it moves from side to side - (too voodooy to do)
You add your age at the time of conception and the number for the month you conceieved and the sum is an odd number.

Well that's 9 for boy and 7 for girl... and i didn't answer two so that's up in the air too... hmmm yeah next Tuesday can't get here fast enough!

  1. Haha! These are so bogus! Friend had two baby BOYS. First one, basket ball belly (as predicted here), second one, watermelon shaped.

    Also, you can't believe that "you carry everywhere" if it's a girl. Everyone is different and carries different no matter if it's a boy or a girl.

    I would get annoyed by all this too. You should've told that lady that she was "Obviously pregnant with Triplet girls!!" :)
