Throughout history, expectant parents and their Villages have relied on old wives' tales to predict baby genders. While not scientifically backed, these charming traditions add fun to the journey!

How Bad Is the Morning Sickness? 🤢

Severe nausea? Legend says it’s a girl. Mild morning sickness? A boy could be on the way!

Cravings: Sweet or Salty? 🍭🧂

Crave sweets and fruits? It might be a girl. Prefer salty or sour? A boy could be in your future.

In India, salty is replaced with spicy! So if you crave spice, it's a boy!

Baby’s Heart Rate 💓

Over 140 beats per minute? The tale suggests a girl. Lower? A boy.

The String Ring Test 🔮

Thread a ring on a string and hold it over your belly:

  • Circular motion? Girl!
  • Back and forth like a pendulum? Boy!

Skin & Hair Myths 🌟

"Girls steal beauty": Breakouts and dull hair = girl. Glowing skin and luscious locks = boy.

Baby Bump Shape 🍼

  • Carrying high and wide? Girl.
  • Low and out front? Boy.

Mood Swings 😄😭

Happy and cheerful? A boy. Emotional rollercoaster? A girl.

Not Science, But Plenty of Fun!
