old wives tales... what to think ? .___.

So I did the baking soda test & it didn't bubble at all which means it's a girl.. Then my baby's heart beat is 164 which usually if the heart rate is higher then 140 it's a girl.. I feel like I'm having a boy tho.. & every one else thinks irs a boy. My boyfriends mom thinks its a boy & she said her boys all had high heart rates. I have six more weeks till I find out & I just wana know now! Any suggestions on ways to 'find out' ?

They say the baking soda test is most accurate cuss its kind of scientific . the more acidic yur urine is the more the baking soda bubbles (acidic pee is a boy) if it doesn't really bubble its a girl (less acidic pee) I've tried to do the Chinese gender chart but it won't work for me since my birth year is never in any of the ones I use . my birth year is 99 so of course it probably wouldn't be there. I have an anatomy scan in abt 5 weeks.I just can't wait to find out. Its so hard to be patient

If it bubbles its suppose to be a boy... I did the test, it bubbled and I'm having a boy. I did all of the other old wives tales and they pointed to girl.

The only way to know for sure though is an anatomy scan around 20 weeks.

Chinese chart was wrong for Me and baking soda test was right. They also say if the baby hanging out more on the left side it's a girl and right side being a boy

The baking soda test said boy and I'm having a girl

The chinese conception chart is the most accurate. Besides the ultrasound.. i did the chinese conception chart it was a girl im having a baby girl and like 4 of my frends did it and it was right so you all should try it.

Well you may be having a boy l cause those things have nothing to do with actually finding out.. They are fun to do but don't trust them

The only way to find out is through blood work or ultrasound.  
All that stuff has a 50/50 chance at being "right".
