Many methods have been used over the years to predict whether the baby will be a girl or a boy. You may encounter some of these "old wives tales" over the course of your pregnancy. Even though they don't have a scientific basis, they can be fun to consider!

• Place your wedding band on a piece of string. Hold the string over your abdomen with the ring working like a pendulum. If it swings side to side it's a boy. If it swings in circles it's a girl.
• If you carry high, it's a girl. If you carry low, it's a boy.
• If the baby has a rapid heartbeat, it's a boy. If the heartbeat is slower, it's a girl.
• If you prefer to rest on your left side while resting, it's a boy. If you prefer lying on your right side, it's a girl.
