Old wives tales about pregnancy and baby gender selection have been around as long as there have been “old wives” and women getting pregnant! lol Are they reliable as baby gender predictors? Well, I would imagine that many of them have a basis in fact, although some seem so outlandish it’s hard to imagine how! I’m going to give you every old wives tale I can find, will they predict your next baby’s gender? I’ll let you decide. These are supplied for entertainment purposes only of course. While I don’t put much faith in their accuracy, they can be a whole lot of fun at your next baby shower or get together. So enjoy!

You’re Having A Baby Girl If:

Your face breaks out more than usual.

You won’t eat the heel of a loaf of bread.

Your breasts have really blossomed.

You are craving fruit.

Your belly looks like a watermelon.

You face south when you sleep.

You add your age at the time of conception and the number of the month you conceived and the sum is an odd number.

You suffered with morning sickness in the early months of your pregnancy.

You are gaining weight in your hips and rear.

You develop red highlights in your hair.

You pick up a key by the small end.

Your face gets fatter and rounder.

You don’t seem to look good pregnant.

Your nipples get lighter.

Your urine is a dull color.

You eat garlic and you don’t smell like it.

A toddler boy shows interest in the mother-
to-be.

You ask to see her hands and she shows them palms up.

You dream of having a boy.

If you are moody during pregnancy it’s a girl.

If your left breast is larger it’s a girl.

If the mothers age at conception and month of conception are both even or odd it’s a girl.

If the father was the more aggressive partner
at conception the baby will be a girl.

If the mom-to-be rests on her right side the baby will be a girl.

Have the expectant mother pick a number match the number to the corresponding letter, then have her pick the first name that comes to mind, boy’s name means boy, girls name means girl.
