Traditional Ways to See if You're Having a Girl or Boy

By Ali McHugh


Pregnant angles

In cases where you appear to be expecting a baby from every angle (poor you!) it indicates you might be carrying a girl. If you don’t look pregnant from behind, that suggests you may be carrying a boy..

Toddler attention

If a toddler boy displays fascination with a pregnant woman, she will be carrying a girl. If he disregards her, must be a boy.

Morning sickness

Mother’s that suffer from severe morning sickness which lasts well into the day are more likely to be carrying a girl.

Fast heartbeat

Apparently girls in the womb have a faster heartbeat than boys. So if ones baby’s heartbeat in the womb is 140 bpr or more, it’s a girl.

Craving treats

Mums-to-be carrying girls will probably have a strong longing for everything sweet, notably chocolate!

Show your hands

If someone asks to see your hands, if you hold them out palms towards the heavens, you’re having a girl. Palms to the floor means you’re carrying a son.

Position of baby

If you’re carrying your baby high, it’s a girl. If you’re carrying your baby low, it’s a boy.

Mother’s age

Take the age of the mother at conception, then take her birth year. If both are odd, or they are both even then you are having a girl. If one is odd and one is even, it’s a boy.

Key test

Drop a key on to the floor. When picking it up, if you pick it up by the long narrow section you are having a girl. If you grab it by the rounded part then you are carrying a boy.

Ring test

This is a favourite folklore test to discover if you're carrying a girl or boy. Get a wedding ring and attach it to a chain. Lay face up and hang the wedding ring over your midriff. If the ring swings in a strong circular motion, it’s a little girl. If the ring swings in a pendulum action, it’s a little boy.

Eating more meat

Eating lots of red meats is certain to provide you with a boy…apparently.

Craving of salty foods

If you are craving salty snack foods, like pretzels or crisps, you're supposedly carrying a boy!

Craving outsiders

Whenever reaching for a loaf of bread, which part do you enjoy? The heel (or outsider)…or the middle section? When it’s the outsider, it’s going to be a little boy.

Garlic

This one is definitely not for the faint-hearted. Try eating a raw garlic clove, if the smell of garlic seeps from your pores, it indicates you are having a boy. Little or no smell? Has to be a girl.
