tell if you are having a boy or a girl


One of the most exciting times when you are pregnant is to tell if you are having a boy or a girl. Once you learn the gender, it’s a blast to have a reveal party and share the experience with family and friends.

Although most people find out about gender during an ultrasound appointment, there are several old wives’ tales that claim you can tell if you are having a boy or girl without an ultrasound. Some of them we’re sure you’ve heard of before, but the ones on my list might come as a surprise to you.
