BOY OR GIRL?

I have a friend who is in the same boat – pregnant. She happens to know already the gender of her baby. She had an ultrasound the other week. I am so envious to know it and make me excited to know my baby’s gender. I did not buy any baby things for I want to know first the gender. One thing for sure, this coming Saturday, I will have my prenatal and I’m going to have an ultrasound. I just hope that the baby will cooperate.

Yesterday, I was able to buy a magazine entitled “PREGNANCY”. It really fits to my situation so without any second thought I bought it. One of the topics in there that gives me an insight about frequently asked questions. “Is it a BOY or GIRL?” It is based on folk- wisdom clues.
For those who are expecting, even if you think you know the gender of your baby, you can have fun testing these clues.

You’re having a GIRL if:

• Your baby’s heartbeat is 140 beats per minute or higher. This means, girls are more active in the womb compared to boys.
• You’ve gained weight in your hips and back.
• You crave to eat sweets or fruits
• Your face breaks out more than usual. You’re blooming, pretty than before.
• You’re the mood-swing queen.
• You had morning sickness during your first trimester.
• Your left breast is larger than the right breast
• Your gets reddish highlights.

You’re having a BOY if:

• Your baby’s heartbeat is less than 140 beats per minute.
• You’ve gained weight mainly in your stomach
• You crave salty or sour foods.
• Your feet are always cold.
• You have to shave your legs more often.
• Your nipples and areola are much darker in color.
• Your husband is gaining weight, too.
• Your nose as if it’s getting wider.

In my situation, I guess I have an idea as to what gender do my baby have. I think she is GIRL. Well, we will find out this Saturday, April 4, 2009.
