17 weeks along now, and getting a little too curious about what gender this little being is.  I’m no good at surprises, so waiting until the baby is born to reveal its gender was never really going to be an option for us. There’s been a few theories from those around me as to what gender this bub will be, and I do sense its gender too, but the proof will be in the pudding soon enough!  Taking the test is easy, just tick those that apply to your own pregnancy and presto… you have your “theoretical gender” according to some people that apparently know their stuff. 

IT’S A BOY IF….

You didnt experience morning sickness in early pregnancy

Your baby’s heart rate is less than 140 beats per minute

You are carrying a lot of extra weight out front

Your belly looks like a basketball

Your areolas have darkened considerably

You are carrying low

You are craving salty or sour foods

You are craving protein  - meats or cheese

Your feet are colder than before your pregnancy

The hair on your legs has grown faster during your pregnancy

Your hands are very dry

Pregnancy has you looking better than ever

Your urine is looking bright yellow in colour

You hang your wedding ring over your belly and it moves in circles

You are having headaches

You add your age at the time of conception and the number for the month you conceived and the sum is an even number

 

IT’S A GIRL IF……
