Take Your Pick!!
Since the baby insists on keeping his/her gender a mystery everybody has been taking potshots guessing if its a boy or a girl. Hubby had a dream way before I knew I was preggers and he's convinced his dream was a prophecy. But either way we have no exact preference. We'd rather pray that our child is healthy and well. In any case for fun, I found this website that lists old wives' tale about certain symptoms of pregnancy that is said used to determine the gender. Some people swear by it, it seems.
It's a boy if:You didn't experience morning sickness in early pregnancy - No morning sickness for me alhamdulillah. Just an extreme aversion to milk that made me puke everytime I drank it.
Your baby's heart rate is less than 140 beats per minute - I don't exactly know this one but judging from the 100 horses galloping sound we hear at every scan, I think it's def more than 140b/min.
You are carrying the extra weight out front - nope my stomach ain't showing much yet.
Your belly looks like a basketball - I think I look like a basketball.
Your areolas have darkened considerably - hhmmmm....
You are carrying low - At the moment my bump is not obvious. I just look like I'm very very fat instead of pregnant.
You are craving salty or sour foods - before pregnancy, I can't stand anything salty or sour so everybody thought I'd like it immensely during pregnancy but so far they've been wrong!
You are craving protein -- meats and cheese
Your feet are colder than they were before pregnancy - On the contrary, my whole body is very warm. Hubby yelps whenever I accidentally touch him.
The hair on your legs has grown faster during pregnancy
Your hands are very dry
Your pillow faces north when you sleep - my pillow stays east-west position. Why would it face north?
Dad-to-be is gaining weight, right along with you - This one is certainly so. And he has been having more ailments than me!!
Pregnancy has you looking better than ever - This is what people have been telling me although personally I think I look like Roseanne.
Your urine is bright yellow in color - and foul-smelling too. I suspect its the iron tabs I'm taking.
Your nose is spreading - How does the nose spread? afro type of spread?
You hang your wedding ring over your belly and it moves in circles - I haven't tried this and dun think I want to.
You are having headaches - I used to have headaches a few occasions int he past month or so. But they've gone away. Thank God!
You add your age at the time of conception and the number for the month you conceived and the sum is an even number - 25+3 = 28.
Total Score = 8 / 19
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 - I think I'm expanding everywhere instead of just the tummy. I hope the expansion is nearing its limit.
Your left breast is larger than your right breast
Your hair develops red highlights - wow I didnt know pregnancy could do that to your hair!
You are carrying high
Your belly looks like a watermelon - I feel like a watermelon!
You are craving sweets - I have always had a sweet tooth. Its not exactly craving coz I dun feel like I'll die if i dun get it. But I love chocs and ice cream.
You are craving fruit
You crave orange juice
You don't look quite as good as normal during pregnancy
You are moodier than usual during pregnancy - I was a bit moody at the beginning of my pregnancy in the office but that was due to my extreme tiredness. No more of that. Now I'm a cheerpy bird
Your face breaks out more than usual
You refuse to eat the heel of a loaf of bread - I love the heel of the bread!
Your breasts have really blossomed! - let's just say I now know what it feels like to be Pamela Anderson!!
Your pillow faces south when you sleep
Your urine is a dull yellow color
You hang your wedding ring over your belly and it moves from side to side
You add your age at the time of conception and the number for the month you conceived and the sum is an odd number
Total Score = 4/19
Does it mean it'll be a boy? I have no idea. I just we'll just have to wait till the doctor tries again next month.
