"'It was two days before the wedding and I finally sat down to write my toast. Low and ... Everyone at the wedding said it was the best toast they had ever heard.' ..."

One of the big questions on parents' minds during pregnancy is whether they are having a boy or a girl. While some parents decide to find out via ultrasound, others may want to wait and be surprised. While there is no proven way to predict the sex of your baby, there is certainly an abundance of old wives' tales to help you guess. The pendulum method is known to be especially accurate.

Things You'll Need

  • Ring or pin
  • String

Instructions

  1. The Pendulum Method

    • 1

      Slide your wedding ring onto an 8- to 10-inch piece of string until it rests in the middle. You can also use a different ring or a needle, but the wedding ring is most effective.

    • 2

      Lie down in a quiet place and relax. Lift up your shirt to expose the belly.

    • 3

      Hold the string with the pin/ring over your belly. Make sure to hold it very still.

    • 4

      Observe the movements. If the ring goes in a circular motion, you are having a girl. If it swings from side to side or back and forth in a line, you are having a boy.

Tips &- Warnings

  • There are many other ways to predict the sex of your baby that do not involve a step-by-step process. For example, are you carrying the baby low or high? If you are carrying high, you are having a girl, and if you carry low, it's probably a boy. Also consider your cravings. Craving sweets is said to indicate a girl, whereas boys cause salt cravings. The level of activity can also give you a hint. Active babies are usually boys, whereas inactive babies tend to be girls.

  • All of these factors, combined with the pendulum test, will help you to successfully predict the sex of your baby.

  • The above-mentioned tests are not foolproof, and no large purchases should be made based on their results.
