Guess what, folks--it can't be done. Unless you have a bonafide medium/psychic in your midst, hard science makes it darn near impossible to prove there is a way to determine your baby to be's gender without the aid of one of those scary blood tests or a good old ultrasound at around the 20th week of pregnancy.
But, if that is the case, then why do all these other options persist? Maybe it's simply because it's fun, or gives the new parents to be something else to think about rather than worrying that everything is ok in there (the womb). Maybe, though, there is something more to it. After all, those old wives tales the modern world has eschewed seem to turn out to be true, or at least relevant, more often than we think.
I have a pal, a guy, who, for some reason, is almost always able to tell the sex of the baby after spending time with a pregnant friend (nothing more!). Now, I know there are only two choices involved, male or female, but still--he is almost NEVER wrong!Continue reading Pregnancy fact or fiction: determining baby's gender Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments
