Are you expecting a baby but can’t wait until the fifth month to find out if it’s a boy or a girl?

I think that all of us mothers wonder about the baby’s gender when we first learn we are pregnant. It is true that our main concern is that the baby is well, healthy, and forming normally. But that does not mean we do not have the curiosity to know the gender, even if it’s only to know if we should paint the room blue or pink. There are a lot of methods to find out (or at least try to) if you are having a boy or a girl.

There are old methods such as tables and mathematical formulas, and more modern methods such as the ultrasound. However, unless the pregnancy is high risk and special tests such as an amniocentesis are necessary, a mother will only know for sure if it is a boy or girl until she holds her baby in her arms (ultrasound results have been wrong sometimes). But if you want to guess what your baby is going to be, here are some ways to “find out” or at least have fun trying.

Formulas and Home Methods to Predict Baby’s Gender

My personal favorite: The ring method has always been right for me whenever I have tried it. You put a gold chain through a ring and hold it like a pendulum over the woman’s hand. If the ring moves in circles, it’s a girl. If the ring moves side to side, it’s a boy. I love this method because you don’t have to be pregnant for it to work. You can try it on any woman and it will tell you how many children she will have, how many boys and how many girls.

Mathematical formula to find out baby’s sex: Age of the mother when she got pregnant + her month of birth + month of conception (normally 14 days after the first day of the menstrual period) = if result is odd it is a boy if it is even it is a girl.

Example:

Mother’s age 32

Mother’s birth month 11 (November)

Month of conception 9 (September)

3 +2 +9 +1 +1 = 16 girl

The Gypsy’s Formula: Age of the mother + the month in which she got pregnant. If result is even it is a boy, if it is odd, girl.home-remedies-site.com

Example:

If you got pregnant in March (month 3) and you are 26 years 3 + 26 = 29 The result is odd, girl.

The Oil Test: Pour a few drops of oil on the top part of the belly. If oil drips quickly it is a boy. If it drips slowly, it is a girl.

Nature’s language: It is believed that nature communicates with humans through forms. In this case, if the mother’s womb is round, it is a girl. If it is pointed, it is a boy.

A Ring: Some people say you should use your marriage ring for this one. Other people say it works with any ring. home-remedies-site.com Either way, the trick is as follows. Put the ring in a long thread and use it as a pendulum on the mother’s womb. If the ring moves in a circle, it is a girl. If it moves in a straight line, it’s a boy.

Mayan table to find out baby’s sex: The month of conception is counting 14 days after the first day of the menstrual period. The age of the mother is the age when she became pregnant.
