Boy or Girl? (How to Tell ... Myths)

The string thing does work, but let me tell you a little something about it. First you will want to tie a paperclip, needle etc to the end of the string. You need to find the yes and no in the string. Ask it is my name (Blank) now whatever way it circles is your yes, then ask it a yes or no question that you know the answer is no. You should have a yes and a no for the string, the ask it if you are having a girl and see what way it turns, then ask the same about a boy. The question must always be yes or no though. You should have one yes and one no, then you will know what gender your baby is. I actually use this method for alot of things and the it has always worked, but i have an actual penduleum. Give it a try then write the answer down, do it with mulitple things in your life and see if the answers come true, and then let us know.

Hi H.!
I have heard some myths you may want to try. Hold a pendant necklace above your belly while you are lying down.....if it makes circles, then you will have a girl. If it goes back and forth you will have a boy. However, this is DEFINITELY just a fun myth because my friend tried it and she thought she was having a girl....well it turned out she has a beautiful boy. Either way, I am sure you are excited about becoming a mom again. Best wishes and have fun!!!

Chocolate! If you can't get enough you are haveing a girl. I'm talking middle of the night you have to have a Hershey bar kinda thing. My best friend told me about this when she found my stash of kisses in my work bag and told me I was haveing a girl and it turned out to be true. Also my sister had called me and asked me about her unusual craveing for chocolate while she was pregnant (she is the kinda person who eats a candy bar once a year maby) and I told her it had to be a girl and was the only one in the family who had it right (everyone else used some of the other myths like how she carried, the pendant thing and heart rate)
Let us know which ones turned out to be true.

Sorry I don't have any others than what are listed here. I do know that the heart rate does NOT matter. They did a study on it and there was only a difference of about 1 or 2 beats per minute. Also you can't really depend on the morning sickness thing because I have a boy and a girl and didn't have morning sickness with either one of them. Well have fun with the other methods. God bless!

hey H., i know you probably already know this but you can tell by the heart rate as well. if the heart rate is i think 156 and below its a boy and if it between 156 and 170s its a girl. so the higher the heart rate a girl the lower a boy. god bless and good luck. R.

The only one I know of is the needle and thread one that's been mentioned already a couple of times. For the most part it is correct. Two examples: My friend did it to me and what i was told was correct and Her mom did it to a friend of hers and was correct as well. The twist: Her mom found out about a baby that she never knew of in the process. Yeah, her friend had lost the baby during birth and had never told anyone about it. I can't guarantee it's a 100% correct but you can always give it a shot. Goodluck and Congratulations.

I have been told morning sickness is a good sign. None to very little with a boy and extreme with a girl. I know I had a boy and very little. My friend had a girl and was sick the whole time almost.

I read somewhere that if you trip during your pregnancy, you are having a boy. I didn't read it until after I had our son. I did trip in the first trimester, before I even knew I was pregnant. I was just walking to my car at work & hit the ground for no apparent reason... :-)
