There are wives tales but those are not always true

Same here I was hoping for a girl but I knew deep down and thought it was a boy and I was right! But I was thrilled either way! The chinese gender predictor that u can find online was true for me and my mom for her kids but their not always right. Theres really no way to tell at all without an u/s.

An amniocentesis can tell you the gender. And it is very accurate. Lol. But as mentioned in a different post about paternity testing, it does carry the risk of miscarriage. And you can't have it done until about 14 weeks and after that it is only about 3 weeks b4 you can tell the gender in an ultrasound without any risks to you or baby. So I would say just wait. I know it's hard when you are dying to know, I thought I would actually die from not knowing. Lol. But thats the only sure-fire way besides ultrasound to find out the gender.

Oh well. They'll be able to tell you at your appointment. They'll measure the size of the baby on the ultrasound and give you an exact due date.
