Moms View Message Board: General Discussion: Archive September 2004: Have any of you...
used a string and a ring or a string with a needle in the eraser of a pencil and held it over your wrist or stomach to "find out" if you are having a boy or girl. Just wondering who has actually done it and if it was right. It has been wrong only once in my entire family. It was even right on me. If you keep holding the string it will usually stop and start again determining the sex of all your children in order! Before I was preg. with Audrey,my cousin did it on me and it said: girl, boy, girl, boy. Creepy, huh? Anyone ever heard of it?
No, but I "knew" in my heart what each one was.
I used my wedding ring and my chain and it worked for me. I had a girl.
HA!! Mine said I would have 7 kids - b,g,b,g,b,g,b. I have been the mother of 7 kids, and 6 of them are girls.
We did it for ds just to see if it was right. We had an amnio so we knew for sure, but just wanted to try it. It was right.
I've never even heard of this! OK, explain to me how it indicates boy or girl. I just "knew" what I was having with my oldest two but my youngest I wasn't sure, just hoped it was a girl.
My mom tried this with me. She held a needle suspended by thread over my wrist. It said girl, boy. Now of course my first turned out to be a boy but she wanted a girl so bad that I think she willed it.
No, mine said I was having three boys and I had two girls. Funny thing, though, I didn't know if my babies were boys or girls when I was pregnant but my hubby knew they were both girls as soon as I got pregnant! (go figure.....)LOL
Monica I had that done years ago...don't remember what the out come was tho...but yea I have heard of it.
Yes!! I swear by it LOL It's been right all along!
I did it and it said boy, boy, girl, girl. We got the boy, boy, girl, but now we are done.
A lady at church did the needle/thread thing over me with my 2nd dd... it was wrong (the first time she'd ever been wrong, so she claimed! LOL)! It was weird, having all my friends gathered around my stomach, though...
Here is something that I've personally never seen fail, although I don't know how! LOL
The way my mom did it was with a needle and thread over the wrist, mine was right 3 girls, and my sister's 1 showed, and that is all she had. My daughters are done, and well lets just say I am keeping my huge kitchen table, 1 is having 4 kids, next 3 , and my oldest is only having 1 child. I really believe it will be correct, and the amount of children really suits, each of my kids personalities. It has never been wrong, in our family.
The Chinese chart Janet posted was right for one out of three of my kids.
I did the carnation test, and it was right. You take a pink carnation, and a blue one (the florist will dye it) and put them in a vase. Leave them alone, and one will shrivel up in a few days, the other will stay open. The open one is what you are having. My boss when I was pregnant was also pregnant. This had worked for her and a few of my coworkers, so I tried it. I didn't know I was having twins at this point. I couldn't figure out WHY the carnations didn't change at all. After a couple weeks the blue one shriveled. A day later the pink did. Then I found out it was twins, and one was a boy, but we didn't know what the second baby was. Girl!! So in hindsight it was right!!
The chinese chart was right with one out of 3 of my children. The string said g,b,g,b with me. Am I having a 4th??????? :0 O well. Hey- every wonder what makes that string move? CREEPY! LOL!
The chinese chart got 1 out of 3 right for me, too - doesn't sound like a great average, does it?
The chinese chart got 2 out of 3 for me.
yeah, I do it over my wrist as well. Worked!
That chinese chart was right for both of mine.
I hear chinese chart nails it!
Nope, I never did that! LOL! I thought First dd was going to be a boy! I was wrong! So, I decided not to "decide" when I was pregnant the second time and was "surprised" with another DD!
OK...WHAT is this??? I asked a bunch of friends about this and no one has heard of it! How do you tell if it is saying boy or girl? I'm so confused! LOL
Ok first, it does not matter if you are pregnant or not, you, can hold a needle with a thread over some ones wrist, and if the needle goes round and round you will have a boy, if back and forth it is a girl . It also shows all children , born or otherwise. it has worked for my family.
LOL Mrse....maybe it *is* all in my head....we've always done it where round and round is a girl, and back and forth is a boy. Based on *that* method, it's been right all along.
Okay, How do you do this? I wanna play too...
I just did the string thing. I held a string with a needle through it over my wrist and it said girl, boy. Then it stopped and would not move anymore. I am only having 2 kids and that is exactly what I want. I also want one of each.
We did this for me and it said a boy then a girl... We are done with just Brendan but maybe we were meant to have a girl afterwards. We also did it on my sister, it showed a baby she miscarried and then her daughter and son.
YEAH, it showed many of my friends miscarriages too. How does it work, I wonder?
IT showed I would have ALOT of boys and 1 girl. LOL I had a miscarriage and I think that was my girl.
