Thoughts on these old wives tales?

Max-all of my attempts for all kiddos were PM attempts & resulted in 2 boys 1 girl. Chinese calendar was wrong for all 3! I had cramps on the right side this time around BFP that eventually subsided. I tried the ring over the belly for the first time & it was right! I had DH hold it over my belly since he didn't know what it meant. I also didn't have a lot of MS with this baby, only moments of queasiness. Fun to look at the diff wives tales & see if they're true, but I don't really think there's much to them lol.

Lola that's great to hear!! I know most of them are old wives tales, but the right side cramping made me pause after hearing about Rhamzi theory.

Max I've heard the theory AM = girls [emoji23]. Ramzi i have no idea as i wasn't aware of it with my boys. Also chinese calendar is wrong for some of mine.

I tend to have had my morning sickness increase with each pregnancy. My 1st 2 boys not so much but the last 3 got worse with each of them. Usually settled around the 18-20 week mark too which was longer than I expected too.

Thanks Max. It wasn't really vomiting ms but a continuous nausea. I was snacking alot and brushing my teeth was the worst. That required pep talks before id even start [emoji23][emoji23]

Wow funny you say that...brushing my teeth lately has not been fun. And yesterday a piece of hair got stuck in the side of my mouth and made me dry heave. [emoji51] Really hoping it doesn't get much worse...

And after seeing several people send Dr. Ramzi himself $10 and their ultrasounds and he guessed them WRONG, it has proven to my satisfaction there is nothing to Ramzi anyway, even IF it were possible to tell where your baby implanted, which it IS NOT.

I'm so happy you finally got your bfp max! Congratulations!

As atomic has said many times -- OWT mean nothing. Mine were ALL boy save for moon phase for DD. I had strangers guessing boy even.

Plus, they're not even consistent. I've seen carrying high/low mean both boy/girl, can find a Chinese Gender Chart to say either no matter what, and even different opinions on moon phases.

I know we like to feel control in some sort of way by trying to predict/feel prepared, so I empathize!

Oh wow atomic - that's so interesting to hear!! Okay so really no way to know until the scan confirms?! :)

Throwaway, thank you so much! Appreciate hearing your experience!!

Congrats on your bfp... are you going to wait for a gender scan or have the harmony/nifty test done? Most things were correct for me..ramzi..chinese calender..carrying high..and eating ice ****s for cravings which ive heard alot of girl mums crave... i would try and forget all the signs though or you will go crazy until you find out xx
