Popular Gender Prediction Methods

There have been many gender predictions over the years that claim to be able to predict whether you are going to be having a girl or a boy. Some of these Old Wives' gender predictions are absolutely ridiculous, while some of them claim to be able to predict the gender of your baby with fool-proof accuracy. Most mothers and fathers probably would love to know the sex of the baby that they are going to have way before the birth or even the ultrasound of the baby that can sometimes determine the gender as well. But, like all Old Wives' tales, these gender prediction methods probably need to be taken with a grain of salt before they are given any merit as to whether they actually work or not. Here are some of the more common gender prediction methods that have been around for decades:

Swing, swing, wedding ring!

This gender prediction method involves the use of your wedding ring. The wedding ring should be placed on a sewing thread while the mother lies flat on her back. The wedding ring is then held in position over her body and the pregnant woman should be able to tell which direction the wedding ring is swinging. This gender prediction method says that if the wedding ring swings in a circular pattern then the sex of the baby is a girl. However, if the wedding ring swings back and forth then the baby is going to be a boy. There is one issue, however, that this gender prediction method does not take into consideration. What happens if the ring does not swing in a specific way? What will the prediction be then?

The Carrying Method!

This Old Wives' gender prediction method actually makes a little bit of common sense. The sex of your unborn child is determined by the way the pregnant woman is carrying the child. If the child is being carried high in the woman's womb then it is certain to be a girl. However, if it seems like it's being carried low then the assumption that it is a boy. Even though this is one gender prediction method that seems like it has the most common sense, it still is not extremely accurate.
