Fun Ways To Determine An Unborn Baby’s Gender

As gender reveal parties are growing in popularity, it is becoming less common to wait until a baby is born to find out the sex. While some couples like to be surprised at the child’s birth, others like to plan ahead by finding out whether their bundle of joy will be a boy or girl. Although there is no proven way to determine a baby’s sex with the exception of an ultrasound or blood test, many women claim to know if they are having a boy or girl by following these tricks.

Morning Sickness

All pregnancies are unique to the individual woman. Some experience morning sickness while others are never sick. Some women are even sick at night or all day long. Legend has it that women who experience severe morning sickness are pregnant with a girl. Boys are associated with less illness or even none at all. Symptoms of morning sickness may include a queasy feeling, nausea, vomiting, headaches, diarrhea, and excess sweating coupled with the inability to keep anything down.

Cravings

Many women will experience cravings during their pregnancy due to an increase in hormones. Some women are even unable to eat for a short amount of time while they are pregnant. An old wives tale claims that the type of food cravings a woman experiences may be able to predict the gender of her baby. Women who crave sugary or sweet foods are said to be pregnant with a girl while women whose taste buds point them in the direction of savory or salty foods are thought to expect a baby boy.
