Bakingsoda test

[Tiggerian]

I heard this one from a friend yesterday and when testing it on our friends we found it to be 80% accurate (please note, our test wasn't particularly scientific!)

What you need is to be over 12 weeks gestation and pee in a cup! Then put a teaspon of bicarbonate of soda in the cup - if it fizzes, sizzles or bubbles it's a boy, if nothing happens it's a girl!

(i've no clue how it's suppose to work though!)

I was going to try this, but never got round to it.
One of my colleagues at work did it 4 times.
Once a week.
She had 2 girl results and 2 boy results.
Her baby ended up being a girl.
From what I have read it measuring the ph in your urine, which is only altered by what you eat/drink, hence the fact that you can get different results on different days.
The tests you can buy online work on the same principle, and out if hundreds of reviews online the overall accuracy rate is at 50% so I've chalked this one down to chance, it's just as likely to be wrong as it is to be right.
As long as anyone doing it doesn't get their hopes up, or down, based on the result its harmless fun :)

it was wrong for DS2!

With my second I did it once, it gave a boy result and he was a boy.

With my third I did it twice. One boy result and one girl result. It is a girl.

I agree it's a glorified PH test. I wouldn't trust it's "results."

I only heard about this with this pregnancy. I did it a few times between 11 and 16 weeks- and always got a girl result. But we are having another boy

This is a ph test.... I did it a few times this preg and I could sway the results depending on what I ate/drank ;)

I did it last week and it was girl. Not going to try again.
