boy or girl?

August 13, 2008

i’m at my 13 weeks (3 mos & 1 week) preggy with my first baby and can’t wait to find out  whether i’m having a baby boy or girl. I need to wait 2 more months so I can have ultrasound with my OB. but to have a bit idea I researched some alternative but definitely not accurate ways to determine if it’s going to be a boy or girl.

Here are some cool ways:

*  Chinese Lunar Calendar  

______________________________________
 EXPLANATION

You can choose for yourself whether you want a boy or a girl by following the chart. The woman’s age from 18 to 45 (Chinese reckoning) is on the top line while the months 1 to 12 indicate the month when the baby is conceived. By following the chart you will be able to tell in advance whether your baby will be a boy or a girl. Thus, you can plan to have a boy or a girl. This chart has been taken from a Royal tomb near Peking, China. The original copy is kept in the Institute of Science of Peking. The accuracy of the chart has been proved by thousands of People and is believed to be 99 percent accurate. By reckoning, you follow a line drawn from the figure representing the woman’s age to a line drawn from the month the baby is conceived. For instance, if the woman is 27 years old and her baby is conceived in January (according to the Chinese Lunar Calendar), then her baby will be a girl. The chart is based on the month the baby is conceived and not on the birth of the baby, B-Male, G-Female. Remarks: A Chinese Scientist discovered and drew this chart which was buried in a Royal tomb about 700 years ago.

Result: a baby boy :) …my baby conceived last May that was when I get married and I’m 23 yrs old.

* the wedding ring pendulum

One of the more common myths is the wedding ring on the chain or piece of string. Side to side equals girl, and round and round equals boy.

Result: I really can’t tell, sometimes it goes side to side, sometimes round  and round..sigh!

* drain cleaner

For this test, we’ll be requiring a urine sample and a teaspoon of drain cleaner.

When the two are combined, the myth says green equals girl, blue equals boy.

* the heart rate

Now, to do something a little more scientific — they say if your heart rate is over 140 you’re going to have a boy, if it’s under 140 you’re going to have a girl.

Haven’t tried the last two. Actually, my husband and I wanted to have first a baby boy but whatever God will gave us I will definitely be happy and blessed. I’ll just be patient to wait few more months ;)
