Is This Just An Old Wives Tale

So I heard that you can tell what you are
having by laying on your back and getting
a necklace with a charm on it and placing
it a little above your belly hold it real
still then let it go and if it swings
back and fourth its a boy and if it spins
in circles its a girl. I have two little
boys and that was done with both but I did
it friday and it went in circles what do
you guys think???? If there are any
mothers out there who already know the sex
of your baby will you try it and reply .
Thanks,

I remember my mother and her friends doing
that when they were preggy but I don't
remember if it was right for them.

My husband tried that with me before I had
an ultrasound, but it was hard to tell
what the charm was doing, going in circles
or going side to side. Then we had my
sister and law see, and she seemed to
think it was going in circles. Once I had
the ultrasound it was confirmed to be a
little girl. So, I dunno if that helps
you or that is a coencidence (sp?) lol.
Good luck tho.

Well I am very early pregnant and I had
never heard of that test before but two
necklaces have spun in circles now. So I
hope so it would be fun to have my first
baby be a girl. Now I want to know if it
works too lol.

When I was pregnant my midwife told me to
look at the babies heart beat, babies with
a heart beat lower than 130/135 are boys
and a heartbeat higher than that are
girls, obviously it wont work for everyone
theres always the acception but it worked
for me, I have two boys, it worked for my
my sister and friends too!

Okay, I just tried it. It did the whole
side to side thing and I know that i'm
having a boy. So, I guess it worked.

Yes, the first time we could hear the
baby's heart the rate was 140 so when I
told my mom she goes "oh good! That's a
girls heart rate" I looked at her like she
was nuts! But it did turn out to be a
girl. I also had a lot of dreams early in
my pregnancy and every single one of them
was a girl. With my sister in law she had
dreams of all boy babies. So there are a
lot of old wives tales that sometimes
appear to be true, I guess it will always
be a mystery!!!

I don't know if that is true, but I do
know there is a chinese lunar calendar, my
family swears by it. You take the age
you got pregnant and the month you got
pregnant and go down the chart, its really
crazy everyone in my family did it and it
was right. If you just do a search
online for chinease lunar calendar you
should find it.

I actually read an article on these things
last night.
The deal with the necklace is that it
sometimes works, it sometimes doesn't.
There's a 50/50 chance that it will be
right, so it's fairly easy to find people
who say it works.
As for the heartbeat thing, there is not
scientific evidence proving that you can
accurately tell this way.
