Old Wives Tales, Gender Predictions!

[@jesystar]

Not at all related but would love to see a video of how you nourish your body while pregnant ... from food, suplements, exercise etc... from first trimester to now.

I actually am contemplating this! It's such a delicate subject and opens the door for sensitivity and criticism but-- I think I might!

[@jesystar]

@@themellowmama I for one find it very interesting seeing the various ways expecting mothers take care of their bodies during pregnancy, I'm just curious 😊

[@tarrynsturt7942]

I totally believe in the last old wives tale you mentioned. Carrying high for a girl (like a ‘D’ shape) vs. carrying low for a boy (like a tilted ‘J’ shape). My first was a girl and second baby a boy. Kind of related to your dreams point…. When I was pregnant with my first I had lunch with a colleague and asked about her birth experiences. She described both her births as fast labors, getting to the hospital and it being too late for an epidural as she was advanced stage and baby was coming! So she has a drug free/ intervention free birth. I immediately got goosebumps thinking I’d love to have that kind of labor. And guess what…I did! I had a fast 2h labor, when the midwife checked me at the hospital I was already 7/8cm and she said “…too late for an epidural, your baby is going to be here in 20 min!” All the best for your birth!

The only old wives tails I'm familiar with would be that of my X and I'm pretty sure she had a pitchfork and horns too!

The last one in my country is carrying front (it looks better, because you can look slim on photos from some angles) for boy and kind of whole body, sides and back as you said - for girl. I think it's more about muscle tone, but many people guessed we were expecting a boy due to this and a boy he was, so who knows :)

These are fun! With my first pregnancy, we didn’t know the gender and I had a vivid dream that I opened a note that said “it’s a girl”. Baby ended up being a boy. No dreams so far this pregnancy and we are going to be surprised again 😌

I’ve been looking for you… as I went to KZbin to find you this video popped up as my first suggested. Glad to see you are doing amazing!

[@themellowmama]

Awww what’s up, Halle!! I’m so glad you’re here & to be back! ♥️

I had 3 babies and always felt connected when they were in utero. As far as dreams lol baby 1 I was 18 yrs old. I dreamed I was lost in the woods and went in labor . The animals in the woods delivered my baby. Irl I had an emergency csection. I couldn't participate in my birth . No time for epidural and I had to be put under. I don't want to scare anyone so I wont say anything else. I carried high for both my girls and low for my son. I so agree with that wives tale. Pregnancy and delivery is a beautiful experience. If I could have had 12 I would have .

This is so fun!! We didn’t find out what we were having with either of our babies so for fun we did 15 old wives tales with each pregnancy! The first time it was right, it said 12 boy v 3 girl. The second time it said 8 for girl and 7 for boy and it was right again! We had a daughter. Congratulations mama!!

Great video. I would like to see you do a video on proper child spacing.

[@Sama-yd4cl]

I love that you keep stopping and saying “there’s a theme here about great nourishment” and have to remind yourself this video is for fun and not education 😂 how very wonderfully you. Would really appreciate a video about nourishment for pregnancy if you are happy to do it 😊

I'll be 11 weeks tomorrow and the only one's I've tried so far are the Chinese calendar (girl) and the Ramzi theory (boy). I haven't had any dreams about my baby so far which I'm slightly disappointed about. Lol but my husband had a dream that we were having a girl. 🤔 I can't wait to try the rest of these!

[@marijkesmit9086]

I just can’t nap during the day! But almost 10 years before having my son I fell asleep in the winter sun. I dreamt about a little Spanish speaking boy. He was my son and I loved him so intensely. That was bizarre because I am South African and have never met any Spanish person plus I was sure I do not want children 😂 fast forward I have my little Spanish boy and the moment he was born I felt I recognized him! It was absolutely magical 😍

[@doodah1866]

I had a dream that I gave birth to my dog.... So am I having a horse? 🤣😂

[@oldeagle2514]

Well, which one did you spend that special quality time with? Hmmm

[@HQL-KW]

There's an amazing book about connecting with your unborn baby called Spirit Babies ! You may enjoy it ! :)
