Myths About Pregnancy : Knowing If it is a Boy or Girl, and is it True?
Embed:
I am currently 6 months pregnant and don't know if Im having a boy or a girl yet. I will however find out soon. It seems like everytime someone asks me what I am having they seem to think they know what it is when I say I dont. They'll ask me questions such as what are my cravings? or what are my dislikes? I really dont know if it is true but I guess I'll find out. Lets start with some of the myths I have heard and encountered on the internet.Carrying high or low:
People say that if you are carrying low then you are having a boy, if you are carrying high then it is a girl. My belly isn't showing much but for what I can see it looks like I'm carrying high.
Sweet cravings:
When you crave chocolate or any sweets then you might be having a girl, if you crave any odd things such as drinking straight lemon juice then it might be a boy. I have been craving a lot of chocolate and marshmallows, so maybe it's a girl! lets see.
Husband gaining weight?
Myth says if your husband gains weight then you might be having a girl, if he hasn't gained a pound then it could be a boy. I'm confused now, my husband hasn't gained a pound, so now I might have a boy, not a girl?
Wedding ring on the chain:
Take your ring and put it on a chain or string and let it float on top of your palm, if it swings side by side it might be a girl, if it goes round and round it could be a boy. I tried this test and I guess its a boy!
Active baby:
It is said if the baby you are carrying moves, kicks and is very active then it might be a girl, boys are said to be lazier. My baby is very active, so back to girl!
Ultrasound:
if the babys hands are raised in your ultrasound then its a girl, if they are lowered then its a boy. Well my first ultrasound at 3 months was raised hands. So I'm closer to having a girl!
Hairy legs:
Are you shaving more often since you've been pregnant? then it might be a girl. I haven't so I guess it's a boy?
Adding up my results I am more likely to have a girl than a boy. As soon as I find out the gender of the baby, which will be soon, I will post it on here and we can tell wether or not the facts are true.
