Gender Prediction

Myth: According to folklore, you can deduce your baby's gender without medical tests. Here's how: -

• If you carry low, it's a boy; high, it's a girl.


• If you carry in front, it's a boy; if you're wide at the middle, it's a girl.


• Hang your wedding ring from a strand of the father's hair over your belly. If the ring circles, it's girl; if it swings back and forth, it's a boy.


• Is Baby's heart beat faster than 140 beats per minute (bpm)? It's a girl. Less than 130 bpm? It's a boy.


• If morning sickness lingers all day, it's a girl.

Reality: The only sure-fire way to tell the gender of your unborn child is through ultrasound or amniocentesis.
