ok, i thought maybe we could play a little game

what is the most rediculous wives tale youve ever heard? and dont repeate any, i love hearing wives tales cause they are usually so dumb lol

this is one i heard the other day at school of all places

if you put your fingers on your throut (like your checking your pulse) and you feel 2 heart beats then your pregnant, if you feel 3 youve got twins

lets see what else there is...come on, play along

If you don't know the sex of your baby, if someone asks you a question and you reply with "he" or "she", that's the gender your baby will be. Something to do with a mother's instincts or something.

I called .alyvia a "he" for a full month before we found out he was a she. So it's not true. Laughing

Craving sweet things means you're having a girl. I remember my grandma saying it to my sister, turned out she was having a girl and it turned out to be true for me, my grandma thinks it's fate, me a coincidence

Heartburn means lots of hair. My son was born with tons of hair, and yes I had heartburn, but because of what I was eating. Mexican food gave me heartburn, .Duh

My favorite one is that if you gain weight in your hips and butt then it is a boy but if you get bigger in your chest and face it is a girl. Lol, I don't think that it works that way though.

I asked my mum about some she'd heard and the most ridiculas one she could remeber is:
However many times you throw up due to morning sickness is how many days late the baby will be.
So according to that .Mika will be one day late

These are some dumb ones I've heard. It seems like everyone pops out of the woodwork with these when you're preggers.

If you hold your arms above your head, your baby's umbilical cord will get wrapped around its head and choke it.

Hold your wedding ring on a string over your hand. If it swings back and forth, you're having a boy. If it swings in a circle, then it's a girl. Rolling Eyes

I have heard this one too, except it was to hold the ring over your belly, not your hand.

If your baby's heartrate is 140+ it's a girl, if it's lower than 140 it's a boy.
