Old Wives’ Tales – Fact of Fiction?

Carrying Position – the position of the bump is the most cited way of determining the sex of your baby. If it is high and around the sides you are having a girl and if it is low and out front you are having a boy.
Cravings – Sour cravings are meant to be created by boys and sweet cravings are supposed to be caused by girls.
Mothers age and year of conception – if both are odd or both are even then you are likely to have a girl. If one is odd and the other even you are likely to have a boy.
The Key Test – If the mother picks up a house key by the round end it is a girl, if it is grasped by the long end it is a boy. Grabbing the middle means twins.
Hefty Husband – If the father gains weight during pregnancy it is predicted it will be a girl.
The Ring Test – Put a ring on a piece of string or a necklace and hold it over the palm of the hand or the bump. If it swings back and forth it is a boy and if it makes a circular pattern it’s a girl.
