tell me all old wives tales?

[flower216]

This is one i know if its a boy you get sick all 1st trimester and if its a girl youre as healthy as a horse lol.

I was told boys make you beautiful and girls take your beauty. I know thats a crazy lie but funny.

[1stTimeMomie]

I hope they're true because all of them are pointing to us having a baby girl!

[ChellFaye23]

I had absolutely no morning sickness and am expecting a little boy

Actually the full moon one is true. Something about a gravitational force or something. I went into labor on a full moon and the maternity ward was so full they were practically making people share rooms

I swear i hear a new one every day and they are the stupidest things i have ever heard! Like the whole if you put your hands above your head it wraps the cord around the babies neck. Now how would that be possible!? Some people really go by those things and will tell them to you like your life depended on it. My husbands grandmother is always asking if a girl makes you have a big butt or if its suppose to be a boy. Really? How would the gender do that!? I look act and feel the exact same as i did with my boy and now with my girl

Well that defiantly Is an old wives tale as I only morning sickness like 3 times and I'm having a boy. There's a lot of tales though....

If a pregnant woman experiences heartburn throughout the 9 months of pregnancy, she’ll have a baby born with a full head of hair.  

If a pregnant woman lifts her hands above her head or does stretches above her hand, she will choke the baby because the umbilical cord will be wrapped around the baby.  

If the baby’s heart rate is above 140 bpm, it is said that the baby will be a girl.  If it is under 140 bpm, then it will be a boy.

A full moon Is believed to cause a woman to go Into labor and give birth.

If you are carrying high with a big, round belly, you are having a girl.  If you are carrying low with a smaller belly that sticks straight out, it’s a boy.  


If you are craving salty foods while pregnant, you can count on having a boy.  If you crave sweets, fruit, and orange juice, you are having a little girl.  

I think this one Is funny..... If you are really moody, you are having a girl since you have another extra girl hormones in you.  Your pregnancy will make you smile and be more happy if you are having a boy because there’s a little penis inside

You are having a girl if your beauty disappears during pregnancy.  It is said that the girl “steals” the mother’s beauty.  If you think that pregnancy has never made you look more beautiful, you might just be having a little boy.

I don't think it matters I'm 30 weeks with my second girl and was really sick with both of them. This one I'm still sick

[RoopStetter]

Oh yea and the heart rate. Above 140 its a girl below its a boy

[RoopStetter]

I don't know them all but there is one about the color of a moms hair. If it is gray its a boy any other color its a girl. If you like orange juice its a boy if you hate it its a girl. If you get acne its a girl if not its a boy. If you carry high and up front its a girl if you carry low and you look pregnant everywhere its a boy (if you look like orca the whale basically). If the hair on your legs grows faster then its a boy if seems to grow slower its a girl those are what I can think up off of my head
