It’s officially birth month 🥹👶🏼🤰 I’m so excited to meet our little one! We still don’t know if it’s a boy or girl but here are my answers to the old wives tales:
Put your final guesses in comments 🩷🩵👶🏼
1. Morning Sickness: Some believe that severe morning sickness indicates a girl, while mild or no morning sickness suggests a boy. - 🩷🩵 (I just felt miserable for 12 weeks but didn’t actually get sick)
2. Heart Rate: A faster fetal heart rate (over 140 beats per minute) is thought to indicate a girl, while a slower heart rate predicts a boy.- 🩵 (130-135)
3. Cravings: Craving sweets is often associated with girls, while cravings for salty or savory foods are linked to boys. 🩷🍪🧁🎂🍨
4. Chinese Gender Calendar: This ancient calendar uses the mother's age and conception month to predict the baby's gender. 🩷
5. Carrying High or Low: Carrying the baby high is thought to be a sign of a girl, while carrying low suggests a boy. 🩵🩷 (the doc said the baby is right in the middle)
6. Skin Changes: Some people believe that if a woman's skin becomes more prone to acne during pregnancy, it's a sign of having a girl. 🩵
7. The Shape of the Bump: It's believed that if a pregnant woman's belly is round and wide, she's carrying a girl, whereas a pointy or more protruding belly suggests a boy. 🩵
