Question

my family wanted to know

its with a pencil and a needle ..you put string on the needle then stick it unto the pencils eraser and hold it above someones wrist .....please tell me the rest im not sure about it

Answer 1

one says that if your babies heart rate is 160 or more its a girl. and if it is around 130 it is a boy.

Answer 2

As far as I know, there are several.

One has you put your wedding band on a strand of hair and hold it over your tummy and if it spins, it's a boy, if it swings from side to side, it's a girl. OR if the baby sits low, it's a girl, if high, it's a boy. OR if the tummy is round and sticking out it's a boy and if it's more spread out it's a girl. OR if a girl gets ugly during her pregnancy, it's a girl stealing her beauty.

And the one that was actually supposed to work was peeing on barley and oats and then wait which one would grow, one means girl, one means boy, or it might have been other grains, don't remember this one well. Maybe someone else can help with this one?

Answer 3

You let it dangle there above the pregnant womans wrist the longer the better. If it swings up and down(forward to back it is a girl. If it swings left to right then it is a boy. It will stop and go in circles, just be patient, and keep it there and notice which happens after that. THey said mine was a girl and I won't know until next Tuesday.

Answer 4

if you do an online search for baby gender the is a site that has questions and determining by you answers it you gives you a percentage. It was right for all 3 of my kids.

I have also heard of taking a necklace with acharm and while laying flat on your back hold it above your belly button and if it swings in a circle its a girl, or side-to-side its a boy.

Answer 5

This is what I found in my baby book:

Sleeping more than before? -- it's a girl
Not so sleepy-- it's a boy
Is maternal Grandma's hair grey? -- its a boy
Is it another color? -- it's a girl
Are you carrying high? -- its a girl
Carrying low? -- it's a boy
Are you having difficulty breathing? -- it's a boy
Breathing free and easy? -- it's a girl
Sleeping on your left side? --it's a boy
Sleeping on your right side? -- it's a girl
Dreaming about having a boy? -- its a boy
Dreaming about having a girl? -- it's a girl

I did it before I knew what I was having, I came up with 3 boy answers and 4 girl answers, I have a beautiful baby boy.

Answer 6

That's where the term "old wive's tale" came from.

Pure superstition and rubbish.

Think about it - they have a 50/50 chance of being right. That's better than poker odds!

Answer 7

I dont know about all that but this way has yet to fail. When it is a boy your belly is like a basket ball and a girl you are completely round . ANother way is called a sonogram they work pretty good . IF it has a wee wee its a boy and no wee wee its a girl. only kidding.

Answer 8

my mother took my wedding ring tied it to a piece of string about 13 in long. Had me lie flat of my back and held the ring over my pregnant belly...

side to side a girl
circular a boy.

and according to her the amount of movement it has before it stops determines how many children you will have..

It said a girl, and I have a 3 yr old daughter, and I Am supposedly to have 3 children. 2girls 1 boy....

Answer 9

THE MOTHER TAKES HER AGE AT CONCEPTION AND HOW MANY DAYS IN THE MONTH THAT SHE CONCEIVED. ADD TOGETHER IF IT IS AN EVEN # IT'S A GIRL IF IT'S AN ODD #ITS A BOY.EXAMPLE. I WAS 19 WHEN I GOT PREG IN MAY 31+19=50 EVEN # MY DAUGHTER WAS BORN THAT NEXT FEB.

Answer 10

Wives tale:

- boy: higher heartbeat and sits lower in the stomach.

They don't work...we were wrong both times.
