Boy Or Girl? Fun Ways to Tell

I really can’t wait for that moment when my gynae announces if i'm having a little mister or missus. Unfortunately, the gynae will only have the verdict around the 16th-20th week of your pregnancy, and even then only if baby cooperates during the ultrasound scan. So what’s an anxious parent to do in the meantime?

*Please note that this is just for fun. & it is not medically proven to be correct.*

Take a look at yourself in the mirror. if you’re carrying baby higher on your tummy, she’s a girl. If your bump is low, you’re probably carrying a boy. There’s also the belief that “carrying wide” indicates a girl, and “carrying narrow” means it’s a boy. 

 - i think my tummy is higher compared to my sister-in-law whose tummy is way down & hers is confirm a BOY!

During your next appointment, when the gynae uses the Doppler to listen to baby’s heartbeat, ask her to tell you what the heart rate is. Some believe that having a heart rate of more than 140 beats per minute indicates a girl. Below 140, it’s a boy.

-BFF gave me this cool gadget (below). Its for me to hear my baby's heartbeat. It took me awhile to find baby heartbeat. & i finally found it yesterday. The heart rate went till between 145-160 per minute. 

Having an unusually sweet tooth could mean you are carrying a girl (Remember sugar and spice and all things nice?). If salty or sour stuff is what you’re hankering after, then it could be a boy.

-I am definitely going for Sweet stuff. cos i've been loving Fruits more during this pregnancy. But once in a awhile i do like Carrot Juice (abit sour)

The ancient Chinese believe that you can know the gender of your baby based on the mother’s age at conception and the month in which baby was conceived.

-I actually did Google-ed it & try. Again this is just for fun.

In our Asian culture, many women believe that baby girls steal their mother’s beauty, so watch out for more breakouts than usual, especially on your face! Conversely, if you have random strangers coming up to you and commenting you are positively ‘glowing’ with good health and flawless skin, you might be having a boy.

-I have been experiencing very bad acne. especially on my body (Doc say its normal.) and just yesterday, pimples starting to appear all over my face :( but some did say i kinda "glow" while others say i very "masai")

It’s commonly thought that having little or no morning sickness during the first trimester means you’re having a boy. Heaving over the toilet bowl every morning for those first twelve weeks? You’re probably having a little girl.

-Very bad morning sickness from 7weeks plus till 12 weeks of my pregnancy. i vomit countless time. i vomitted out every single food/drink that goes in. even plain water. can u imagine that?? but lucky me its over when i move to my 13 weeks of pregnancy.

Unfortunately, none of the methods recommended above are medically proven or can accurately reveal if you’re expecting a prince or princess. Still, they’ll keep you and your friends thoroughly entertained, and make the process of waiting for the Big Reveal all the more interesting!

-Like i say this is just for fun. my gender scan will be on 15 Aug 2013. so meanwhile, im been doing research and research about gender prediction. of cos i wouldnt mind a boy or a girl. as long as my baby & myself is healthy throught this pregnancy. so what do you guys think i'll be having? :)
