    i found this too

    It's a boy if:

    • You didn't experience morning sickness in early pregnancy
    • Your baby's heart rate is less than 140 beats per minute
    • You are carrying the extra weight out front
    • Your belly looks like a basketball
    • Your areolas have darkened considerably
    • You are carrying low
    • You are craving salty or sour foods
    • You are craving protein -- meats and cheese
    • Your feet are colder than they were before pregnancy
    • The hair on your legs has grown faster during pregnancy
    • Your hands are very dry
    • Your pillow faces north when you sleep
    • Dad-to-be is gaining weight, right along with you
    • Pregnancy has you looking better than ever
    • Your urine is bright yellow in color
    • Your nose is spreading
    • You hang your wedding ring over your belly and it moves in circles
    • You are having headaches
    • You add your age at the time of conception and the number for the month you conceived and the sum is an even number

    It's a girl if:

    • You had morning sickness early in pregnancy
    • Your baby's heart rate is at least 140 beats per minute
    • You are carrying the weight in your hips and rear
    • Your left breast is larger than your right breast
    • Your hair develops red highlights

    Just done this gender predictor, had to use a pin and thread, no engagement or wedding ring...yet!!!

    Anyway it circled slightly, then settled into a pendulom motion, only slow though. Boy.

    I've done 2 other predictors, 1 from bounty site and another 1 off babyworld site, they both said boy.

    I've got a feeling its a girl, oh seems to think its a boy, we'll just have to wait and see when I get my 20wk scan.

    I don't have a wedding ring - only engagement - will it still work?

    Got this of the internet for any confusion...

    This an easy baby gender prediction method to try. Take a pin, needle, or wedding ring and attach it to a thread or strand of hair. Hold the dangling item over mom to be's belly while she is lying down. If the needle or wedding ring swings in a strong circular motion, you will be having a girl. If it moves in a to and fro motion like a pendulum, you will be having a boy.

    I did this this morning a few times and it spinned so I think that means boy. Everyone thinks i'm having boy.

    I don't know if I believe in it or not.

    has anyone tried the classic wedding ring test?

    i did on so many peoples advice.

    anyway if it spins then its a boy if it goes in a straight line up and down (from pelvis to boobs) its a girl.

    i tried it 3 times, by myself then my mom and then my ds, and everytime it said i was having a boy

    does anyone really believe this really works or is it just a tale?
