Yes I am know I am not 16 weeks yet...however what will a few days hurt? Besides baby was measuring ahead at the last checkup so if we go by that I am technically 16 weeks!
Looks to me like Drano predicts a girl!
We will probably do it again in a few weeks!
In yet another version of the Drano test, if the substance bubbles up when a pregnant woman urinates on it, she is carrying a boy; boy, if there are few to no bubbles, she's carrying a girl. *No bubbles!
Here are some more Old Wives Tales~
* Position of the Baby: Many swear that if a woman carries her baby high in the uterus and her stomach has a round appearance, the chances are excellent she is expecting a girl. Likewise, a boy is carried low and relatively more sideways. *No Idea how I am carrying I think more round?
However, many swear by the exact opposite and believe boys are always carried high. Go figure.
* Activity of the Baby: It is said that an unborn baby who is very active, kicks, and moves a great deal in the womb is far more likely to be a girl than a boy. According to one delivery-room nurse, "Boys are lazier, even before they are born."*I am feeling flutters & baby is right on schedule every day around 9:30 pm they start! So I say girl on this one.
* Hand Position of the Baby: If the ultrasound shows the baby's hands are raised, the child is a girl; if they are down, the child is a boy. *This says girl!
* Baby's Boots: If the unborn kicks on the right side of the mother's womb, he's a boy; if on the left, she's a girl. *Feel flutters on left almost always
* Stripe Theory: A woman sporting a stripe down her middle will have a boy, and the absence of one indicates a girl. (A man bearing a stripe down his back, especially if it's yellow, oh, nevermind.) *No stripe.
* Heartbeat: If a baby's heart registers 130 beats per minute or faster it is a girl, whereas under 130 indicates a boy. *162 last checkup
* Sweet Versus Sour: A woman who craves sweets is bearing a boy; a lust for sour foods indicates she's carrying a girl. *Sour
* Spicy Cravings: A mom-to-be who desires a diet of spicy foods is expecting a boy. *None for me
* Heartburn: An expectant mom who is especially troubled by heartburn and indigestion will have a boy. (This "sign" may be related to the indicator above.) *not too bad depends on what I eat.
* Bloodshot Eyes: If the expectant woman's eyes become bloodshot and her nose broadens, she's carrying a girl. *No idea if my nose has widened or is widening but my eyes aren't bloodshot!
* Nosebleeds: A mom-to-be who suffers nosebleeds will be delivered of a girl. *No nosebleeds for me!
* Hairy Legs: An expectant mom who has to shave her legs more frequently during her pregnancy is said to be awaiting the delivery of a girl. *CHECK!
This second set of "tests" requires more active participation on the part of the prognosticator. (The Drano test properly belongs on this list.)
* Dangling a Pin: A pin or needle affixed to a piece of thread is dangled over the expectant woman's wrist. If the pin swings back and forth, it's a boy. If it twirls in circles, it's a girl. Some suggest using a nail instead of a pin. Some say the pin or nail should dangle over the mother's stomach instead of her wrist. *This said girl
* Dangling the Wedding Ring: The mom-to-be's wedding ring is tied to a piece of string or a strand of her hair and suspended over her stomach. If the ring rotates counterclockwise, it's a boy. If it rotates clockwise, it's a girl. *This also said girl
Chinese Lunar Calendar: The sex of the baby is determined by the mother's 'lunar age' (age plus nine months) at conception and the month of conception. (Click here if you'd like to try it for yourself.) *Says girl
Once again these Old Wives Tales point to a girl.
Hurry up May 12th so we can prove them wrong or right!!

Most of the Old wives tales said girl for me and he's a bouncing baby boy in there! I hope they work for you if that's what you're hoping for! :) hehe.
I'm so tempted to do these OWT, but I guess I can wait one more week... agh, it's torture though!!
I haven't tried any of these except the dangling of a pendant over my wrist... it said girl! We'll see though! :)
