Pregnancy Diaries: Boy or Girl, Old Wives Tales

Last night, the Viking and I (rather sleepily) sat down and filmed the 'Predicting the Gender of the Baby, with Old Wives Tales'. This evening we are having friends and family Gender Reveal Party so I thought it would be fun to play this video to our guests before we ask them to vote on the gender of the baby. It's all for fun, nothing factual, but if you are pregnant then have a go and see what total score bump gets - (questions below video if you want to do it yourself.) 

watch the video

what you think we are having; a boy or a girl? We will reveal it in the next video!! 

Old Wives Tales:

  • Have you been more clumsy than usual = boy (less = girl)

  • Heart rate of baby - above 140 = girl (below = boy)
