What do the Ol’ Wives Say?

 Hey guys, 

I decided to make a post about some of the wives tales that more clearly swing one way or the other for me. A majority of them are in between for me but I will post a few of the ones that I have noticed. 


-A change in body temperature

        -Hot and sweaty = girl 

        -Cold and icy = boy 

-Baby’s heart rate.

        -Under 140 = boy 

        -Over 140 = girl 

-Mood

        -Happy/mellow = boy 

        - Moody = girl 

-Swelling in legs and feet.

       -Yes = boy 

       -No = girl 

-Crazy pregnancy dreams.

       -They say if you dream of a girl you will have a boy and if you dream of a boy you will have a girl. Fun fact, I have dreamt of both! (I am blaming this on the fact that I have maintained a neutral mindset and haven’t gotten a feel for if the baby is one or the other. Sometimes I feel boy vibes and other times I feel girl vibes. )

-Chinese gender chart.

        - Boy

-Sleep sides.

        -Right = girl 

        -Left = boy 

-Carrying high or low.

       - High = girl 

       - Low = boy 

       - I feel like I am carrying in the middle, but it’s also kind of hard for me to tell the difference. 

-Carrying in front or on the sides.

       - Front = boy 

       - Sides = girl


As far as cravings and morning sickness wives tales go, I haven’t really experienced any cravings and I didn’t really have morning sickness in the sense that I didn’t throw up much. If food aversions count as morning sickness though, then yes, I definitely had it! 

This kind of leaves us in the same spot as before. I don’t know if it is that neutral mindset thing I mentioned earlier or what but they don’t give me any feelings one way or the other. Hopefully you found this interesting and if any of them speak to you and sway you one way or the other, let me know. Also, if you have any weird wives tales you want me to test or see if it is happening to me, reach out and I will be happy to let you know. 


With love, 

Tiffany
