10 Gender Predicting Wives Tales!

I know the only 100% way to tell if your baby is a boy or girl is to wait till birth. Yes the dr can give you a pretty good guess but if you have a husband that doesn't want to know and wants to have "fun" waiting for the big surprise you can always read way into the old gender predicting wives tales. Here are a few I have looked into/attempted. I found these 10 on this site: http://pregnancy.familyeducation.com/gender-predictor/old-wives-tales/70198.html

Old Wives Tale #1-If you are carrying high you are having a girl, if you are carrying low its a boy.
This pregnancy I am carrying lower than my last, but at what point in your pregnancy can you really call it high or low? Doesn't everyone start low since your uterus is low? If I had to say right now though I would say I am carrying LOW-meaning BOY

Old Wives Tale #2-If you are carrying in front (all belly) its a boy, if you are getting wider its a girl.
This one is very obvious to me. I am definitely getting wider... I feel more like a tire is around my belly vs just a bump. The odd thing is last pregnancy I was ALL BELLY and had a girl which is the opposite of this wives tales. But, going off of how I am filling out and getting wider it means GIRL

Old Wives Tale #3-If you are having a girl she will steal your beauty (hair falling out, acne, etc).
I have not been losing any of my hair this time! (Last time I would pull clumps out every morning) If anything my hair has been thicker than ever and my face hasn't broken out once since finding out I was pregnant. This means BOY

Old Wives Tale #4-If your baby's heart rate is higher than 140 you are having a girl, if it is lower than 140 it is a boy.
The baby's heart rate this time around has consistently been right at 150bpm. This means baby is a GIRL

Old Wives Tale #5-If you CRAVE sweets you are carrying a girl, but if salty things are catching your eyes you may be having a boy.
Give me SALTY anything: chips, extra salted corn on the cob, sea salt chocolate only! I take a spoonful of ice cream here and there but its never what I am craving. I want anything with a salty kick in it this pregnancy. Guess that means BOY

Old Wives Tale #6-The Chinese Gender Chart.
It's a GIRL

Old Wives Tale #7-Mayan Gender Prediction. You take your age at conception and the year your baby was conceived if both numbers are even or odd it means girl, if one of the numbers is even and the other is odd it means boy.
My age 27, the year 2013. Both are odd numbers meaning GIRL

Old Wives Tale #8-If your hubby is packing on the pounds with you it is a sign of you having a girl, if he is staying his fit self you may be welcoming a boy! 
Chad is in the best shape of his life and continues to work out at least 3 days a week (running 15+ miles a week). So according to this theory there is no way we are having a girl and we will for sure be having a BOY

Old Wives Tale #9-If you have morning sickness blues you are actually carrying a pretty in pink girl. If you have felt great you may be blessed with a bundle of joy in the form of a boy. 
I have felt yet again this pregnancy really good. I had a few moments of nausea but nothing to really complain about. (but with Ellery I had no morning sickness either and she is a girl.) But going off of the wives tale based on how good I have been feeling it's a BOY

Old Wives Tale #10-Pop your wedding ring off and tie it to a string. Hang it over your belly. If it swings back and forth it is a girl, if it spins in a circle it is a boy.
I keep reading about this one and everywhere I read about it, it is different. Some say if it spins it is a boy others say it is a girl. So I am going to go based on this specific site where it says back and forth means girl, circle means boy. Well I did it and instantly it started doing CIRCLES. This means BOY

Obviously this is all in just fun and really means nothing but according to the 10 wives tales the final score is :
6 signs of a Boy and 4 signs of a Girl. May can not come fast enough!
