How to Determine the Sex of a Baby Prior to an Ultrasound
- 1). Determine whether you are "carrying high" or "carrying low." Pregnancy lore says that if you are carrying the baby low, then it will be a boy. If you are carrying high, then expect a little girl. Many people believe this to be an accurate way to determine the sex of the child.
- 2). Evaluate the frequency of your morning sickness. Some say that having morning sickness often in the early stages of the pregnancy means you are having boy. If you are not making frequent trips to the restroom, then you are having a girl.
- 3). Note what types of foods you crave during pregnancy. The type of cravings that the expectant mother has is said to determine the sex. If you crave sweets like chocolate during the pregnancy, then you are carrying a girl. If you prefer sour or citric foods, then you are carrying a boy.
- 4). Take note of your husband's weight. If your husband is packing on the pounds, then you are said to be having a girl. If he doesn't gain any weight, then you are having a boy.
- 5). Look at the shape of the mother-to-be's face. A round and full face is said to mean you are having a girl. If your face is the opposite, then expect a little boy.
- 6). Take note of the condition of your skin. Having a bad case of acne while pregnant is said to mean you are having a girl. If your face stays blemish-free, you are having a boy.
- 7). Hold a necklace with a pendant or ring on a string over the mother-to-be's belly. If it swings in a back and forth motion, then you are having a boy. If it swings in a more circular motion, you are having a girl.
