Have You Heard This?
Posted: 11-12-05 02:09am

Hello ladies!!! Have any of you ever heard of determining pregnancy by looking at your throat? It's said that if you can see a dramatic pulsation that you may be pregnant. I thought that was a little strange, seeing as how you need to breathe to survive! I think my mom was joking around to try to get some info out of me! She said her mother told her and my aunts this when they were younger, and that my grandma guessed right everytime! She said it works best if you keep your arms at your side and have someone else look or to look in the mirror (breathing regularly). You are supposed to see the pulse right at the center of where the throat and collar bone meet. :lol:
ps: I know the only way to determine is to take a test and/or get bloodwork.

Old Wives Tale.

I think its an old wives tale... There are alot of old wives tales about pregnancy.. Like, if you carry high its a boy, and carrying low means a girl (altho I think this one can be true sometimes!)

Never heard that, lol

oh, btw its the opposite, if its low its boy, if its high its a girl :-p still, could be wrong

i also heard that if its a boy it has a slower heart rate and if its a girl its fast. I think that ones only 50% correct, cuz they told my mom I was gunna be a boy, based on my heart rate, lol, but my baby has a fast heart rate and its a girl... So *shrugs*
