Old Wives Tales for figuring out the Gender of the Baby:
in part from The Real Deal Guide to Pregnancy by Erika Lenkert
For a BOY
- Skipped morning sickness in early pregnancy
- Headaches are a regular occurrence
- Craving for salty or sour foods or proteins
- Baby's heart rate doesn't exceed 140 beats per minute
- Colder than usual feet
- Belly looks like a basketball
- Baby rides low
For a GIRL
- Lots of morning sickness during first trimester
- MOODY
- Craving for sweets
- Baby's heart rate is at least 140 beats per minute
- Hair turns slightly red
- Belly looks like a watermelon
- Baby rides high
"The most fundamental principle on which the Shettles method is based is that sperm determine what sex a baby will be. The male sperm (XY chromosomes) are smaller, lighter, faster, and more fragile than the female sperm (XX chromosomes). The female sperm are generally bigger, heavier, slower, and heartier, and thus they tend to live longer than the male sperm. All of this means that if you desire a boy, you should time intercourse as close to ovulation as possible so that the fast, light, male sperm reach their prize first. Likewise, if you prefer a girl, you should time intercourse as far from ovulation as you can while still allowing conception to occur." From: Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler.
We will just be QUITE HAPPY to have a BABY :-)
