Fun Ways To Determine Your Baby’s Gender – Am I Having A Boy or A Girl?

Couple Looking At Ultrasound PhotosFrom the moment I found out that I was expecting with each one of my children, I couldn’t wait until I was able to have ultrasound done during the later half of the second trimester so that I could find out the gender of my baby.  In fact, I have figured out how some couples or moms can make it through their entire pregnancy not knowing the sex on the baby.  I know that I would have a hard time waiting until I delivered to find out the sex of my baby.  Even though I found out the sex of my baby, I was happy with the outcome each time and I couldn’t wait to meet my baby.  I know that finding out the sex of the baby can be very disappointing for some couples or moms because they had their heart set on having a specific gender.

The Old Wives Tale Gender Prediction

Many moms try to use some of the popular old wive tale gender prediction tests to try and determine the sex of the baby.  I know that I personally tried a few of the old wives tale tricks but most of the time they where wrong.  It is fun trying to figure out the sex of your baby; in fact, the wives tale tests are only 50% correct.  Some of the popular wives tale gender predictions are:  string and needle trick, Chinese prediction calendar, Ring test, heart beat of the baby, by the way that you are carrying your baby, cravings that you are having, Drano test, and many other fun ways to try to determine the sex of your baby.

    I like the cake idea—I wanted to know both times I wanted to get the nursery ready and it wasn’t going to be yellow!

      Me too, that would be fun to do. I always wanted to know so that I could set up the nursery and pick out gender based stuff.

    Great ideas!! Unfortunately with all of our kids, I was so high-risk we ended up finding out fairly early what we were having so I didn’t get to do any cool reveals or announcements, but I guess we were able to plan and we knew what to bring out of storage. I wish I could have #5! LOL

      Thank you for sharing Dee. I found out with all of mine too. With our last one, we teased on facebook and with our family before we finally told everyone we were having a boy.

    I really wanted it to be a surprise – but then found out twins and I just HAD to know before they arrived!

      I don’t blame you Leigh so that you could prepare yourself for TWO instead of one. I remember when my mom found out that she was pregnant with twins and discovered they were both girls. It was exciting.
