Gender Predictions

I did a blog post when pregnant with Miles. The predictions were mostly wrong. I decided to check it out again.

I don't know yet if I'm having a boy or girl. 

The heartbeat theory. "Fetal heart rates range between 110 and 160," explains Patricia Crane, MSN, CNM, director of the nurse-midwifery service with the University of Michigan Health Systems. "If your baby's heart rate averages in the 110 to low 130s range, the thought is that it's more likely a boy, and if it's in the mid 140s to 160 range, it's more likely a girl. Mid-130s to 140s is unpredictable -- and where a lot of heart rates fall."

The heart rate was high at the first 2 doctor appointments. I forget the number but it was high. 

Prediction: Girl

Rumor has it that if you are carrying your baby high, it's a girl. Carrying low? Stock up on blue.
Similar tales say if you carry in front, you've got yourself a little boy, and if you expand horizontally, it's a girl.

Probably too early for this. No idea. Right now it's still only in the front.
Prediction: Boy

Legends say that if you are having a little girl, she'll steal your beauty. So, if you've got acne and other not-so-pretty skin blemishes, you've got a little princess coming your way.
Dry hands and cold feet are signs of a boy. So, if you've got these ailments, break out the baby blue.

I had acne at week 4. My feet have been cold but the house is 64 degrees a lot so I'm not counting that. 
Prediction: Girl

Here's a fun one— take off your wedding ring, tie it to a piece of string, and hang it over your belly. If it swings in a circle, you are promised a boy; back and forth indicates a girl.

I didn't actually do this so I don't know the prediction

This one is as old as it is weird. The mom-to-be is required to pee in a cup, and mix in a tablespoon of Drano. If the liquid turns green, you're having a girl. Blue? You guessed it. It's a boy.
We don't recommend trying this one. Mixing these two can result in dangerous fumes or, scary enough, an explosion. A safer version of this experiment uses baking soda. If the mixture fizzles, it's a boy. If it doesn't, you've got yourself a girl!

I didn't do this one either so I don't have a prediction. 

Craving sweets? According to some, that means your going to have a little girl. Salty and sour cravings indicate a boy.

Normally I go for salty and I still do. I guess. I really crave no food though. 
Prediction: Boy or neither.

Chinese birth charts use your age at conception and the month you conceived to determine the sex of your baby. Want to give it a shot? Try it!The Mayans used a similar method. They looked at your age at conception and the year your baby was conceived. If both are even or odd, it's a girl. If one is even and one is odd, oh baby — it's a boy!

Prediction: Girl

Has your spouse been indulging in your pregnancy cravings, too? If your hubby packs on a little sympathy weight, the tales say you're in for a sugary-sweet little girl.

Prediction: Girl

Actually, morning sickness means pink. If you're stricken with a queasy stomach during your first trimester, think ribbons and bows. If you sail through your pregnancy with nary an upset stomach, it's blue all the way.

Prediction: Girl

If you've got a preggo friend, try this little experiment on her. Place a key in front of her and ask her to pick it up.
If she grabs it by the narrow part, she'll have a sweet little girl. If she picks it up by the round part, she'll have an adorable little boy.

I didn't actually do this one but I know I'd pick the key up by the big part.
Prediction: Boy 

Most of these are from a family education site. The heartbeat one I saw on multiple sites. 

So 3 of these predict boy and 5 predict girl.  Did you do any old wives tales predictions and were they right?
