 Hey everyone I'm Bianca Renee and you're watching Bianca Renee Today and today we're gonna have a little bit of fun with this whole baby gender scenario. I'm currently 17 weeks pregnant. I do not know if I'm having a boy or a girl yet but the doctor is going to triple check for me next week and then I'm gonna have my big gender reveal party next Sunday. So before I officially know what I'm having I thought it'd be fun to do all the old wives tales as to how to guess what you're having and then we'll see how true they are. So I'm currently online and there's like I don't know 32 old wives tales. I don't know if I'm gonna do all of them but uh let's see how many I can do. Alright number one the Chinese gender prediction chart. So according to this chart you look at the month of conception and then you look at the age of the time that you were during conception. I'm 30 and was 30 and the baby was probably conceived in May so if I look at this chart May going over to 30 the Chinese calendar says that I'm having a girl. The games begin! I have my little chart here girl first point. Alright the next one says feel of your skin carrying a boy said to give you drier skin where a girl brings out all the oils. Well I've always had very oily skin but surprisingly I haven't had any extreme breakouts which I was preparing for since I already have very acne prone skin but since it hasn't been like crazy I'm gonna give that point to the boy. The next one is the glow everyone complimenting on your gorgeous pregnancy glow. Hmm some of you have told me that I'm glowing via like my YouTube videos even before I told you I was pregnant so that's another one for the boy. The next one is the linea nigra some moms develop a dark line down the center of the belly that the line continues above your belly button you're having a boy but if it finishes below your belly button you're having a girl. Let's see. Fortunately I don't think I have any line yet I might have a little bit starting here but it is staying below the belly button so that means girl this is getting interesting people two for girl. Hair if your hair becomes thick and glossy it's a boy if your hair is so dull and limp you might be having a girl. I haven't noticed a big difference in my hair I don't think it looks any better if anything I guess it was feeling really limp that's why I went in for a haircut to get some more volume I'm not really impressed with my hair lately so I think that's gonna be one for the girl but the next one says body hair if your body hair is growing thick and fast you're said to be having a boy if the hair growth has remained normal then it might be a girl I have noticed more hair growth under my arms and on my legs and what I mean by more is I actually have hair there because I have done laser treatment so I really haven't had to shave in a long time I do recommend laser hair removal so it was kind of new to have hair growth once again so yeah I am having more body hair growth so that's one for the boy we are tied people weight gain carrying all of your weight out front it's a boy if those pregnancy pounds are piling all over you might be expecting a daughter all of my weight gain is definitely just in my stomach I don't think I've gained it anywhere else my boobs have definitely gotten bigger so that's been a free upgrade but if I had to talk about the placement it's definitely on my stomach so that goes to boy baby's heart rate girls are known to have faster heart beats than boys above 140 bpm means you're having a girl and lower than 140 means you're having a boy so for my first and my second ultrasound the baby's heart rate was 150 so that is over 140 so that's another point for a girl wow we are keeping this pretty close all your feet growing a baby boy said to add a half a size and a girl keeps your feet in the current shoe size my foot size hasn't changed yet so I guess that is a point for girl cravings sweet versus salty salty food cravings means that you are having a boy sweet means you're having a girl I'm someone that's always craving sweets I have the biggest sweet tooth but craving wise I'm all over the place some days I really want hot Cheetos some days I really want cold stones some days I like drench all of my vegetables and tahini and other days I'll want to eat an entire bag of gummy bears by myself so that one is a toss up so I'm gonna say no point caring high versus caring low boy bellies are said to be low while girls are up high now I took a picture I put it on Instagram and I had you guys vote if you didn't vote you gotta follow me on Instagram at Ms. Bianca Renee right now so you can be more involved in my videos but let me check the polls right now 60% said high and 40% say low I'm gonna show you guys just just so you can you know decipher it for yourself all right what do we think high or low right now I think it's just like literally right in the middle I don't think I can tell because I'm still kind of small I don't know but if I'm gonna go based off of your Instagram votes you guys think I'm caring high which is another point for a girl sickness this one can be read in different ways some say that any nausea at all means girl but others say that actual vomiting means girl only nausea means boy I haven't had any morning sickness thank god so a lot of people have been saying that that means that I'm having a boy because I haven't been sick and throwing up but my mom who had me and my sister and my brother never got nauseous at all even during two girl pregnancies I'm also someone that doesn't really throw up I've only thrown up twice in my life so I don't know if that's a fair one for me but because I have not been nauseous at all that means the boy gets the point daddy's weight gain if the husband is also gaining weight you're having a girl if he remains the same it's a boy Royce has had more cravings than I have he's been the one really pushed in these midnight mcdonald runs so uh yeah he might have gained a little bit sorry babe that means girl but Royce also just really likes mcdonald's the next one you're in color if your urine color is brighter yellow than normal it's a boy remember your prenatal vitamins it's also probably causing this all right I wasn't sure if I was gonna do any of the urine things for you guys so I thought you might be a little grossed out but uh UP you know you do so we're just we're just gonna do this okay I'll be right back there you are ladies and gentlemen a nice fresh cup of bionc grenade today you're in and it's pretty bright yellow yeah I also haven't been drinking as much water as I know I should so yeah that's gonna be a point for the boy I'm gonna put that P to the side because we're gonna need that one a little bit later heartburn typically you hear the heartburn means a full head of hair which the baby better have but it also means you're having a girl I haven't had any heartburn I had it once when I had like a whole bag of hot cheetos one day but that was kind of it so like normal heartburn I wouldn't think so that's another point for boy and just like that we're tied again moody versus mellow if you're feeling more moody than mellow you might be having a girl if you're more chilled out you should be ready because you're having a boy now I'm not just saying this because it's me I've actually asked my husband what he thinks and he thinks I've actually been a greater person now that I'm pregnant so I guess I've been more chill which means another point for boy the eye test look at the mirror for about a minute if your pupils are dilating it means you're having a boy let me get a mirror let's set the timer one minute 15 more seconds I do think they are dilating if they're dilating it means it's a boy wow I think they were it was subtle but I think they were so that's another for boy the Mayan system this determines the baby sex by looking at the mother's age at conception and the year of conception if both are even or both are odd it's a girl if one is even and the other is odd it's a boy so I am 30 which is an even number and the year of conception was 2019 this year so that's even and odd so that means another point for boy so now things are going to get interesting this is the baking soda test I have to pee in a cup and then add two tablespoons of baking soda and if it fizzes it's a boy and if it remains flat it's a girl let's do this all right I have my cup of urine sample here I'm gonna add the baking soda if it bubbles it's a boy if it doesn't it's a girl it's a boy here we go boy no it's supposed to like fizz it says two let me do two it's supposed to like feel like crazy but let us watch the video on it here we go I was supposed to like go maybe I talked to him stay flat oh no interesting okay hold up as I'm editing this video I'm noticing more bubbles than I realized in the moment so now that I'm curious I'm gonna try it one more time all right now I have a fresher warmer larger sample adding in the baking soda whoa okay that is new that is definite bubbling let's add enough spoonful wow okay that's definite fizz so that means this point should have gone to a boy keep that in mind towards the end of this video that's another point for girls girls I'm gonna need the grandma oh no and we're gonna do I guess it's popular in the latina culture you guys told me on instagram we're gonna put a fork under one pillow and a spoon under another I'm gonna leave the room then I come and sit on a pillow whichever one I happen to sit on is gonna tell me the gender oh let's do it all right mom you ready yeah all right you got the fork you got the spoon fork spoon all right now let's put it under some pillows so fork's under there spoon's under there okay yaka sit your butt down oh feel comfy what is it what does that mean again scores are even it up next yeah we're gonna do the ring test so I'm gonna take my wedding ring I'm gonna put it on a piece of string or a piece of hair and we're gonna dangling over my stomach if it goes in circles it's a girl if it goes back and forth it's a boy all right all right it's laying down mom you got the ring closer like right here and the verdict it's going in circles or swinging side to side it's like it's kind of doing both and I guess yeah it's going in circles but yeah more circles circles circles circles all right another point for girls out of curiosity we're trying a different ring without a dime this is my grandpa's right so let's see what circles are saying looks like still circles circles yeah that's what it was the very first time I did it still a girl oh wow even and just like that we're tied again so after all that the final results are tied 10 and 10 this is literally why I have no idea what this baby is I go back and forth every week and this is why none of these little like fact checkers are helping me out all right maybe I should find a tiebreaker let me see if I can find one more some say if your nose is getting bigger or wider then it's a boy if it stays the same it's a girl my nose hasn't been getting any bigger so I guess that would be another point for a boy oh another good one that I forgot about is how you sleep at night so if you sleep on your right side it's a girl if you sleep on your left side it's a boy kind of like in general I always start with Royce and then I end up rolling away my like I don't know mid-sleep so I think I'm usually always sleeping on my right side which brings me back to girl um my mom thinks it's a girl Royce's mom thinks it's a boy I don't know what to do guys what else is there everything else like is non-definitive like these are the only ones I could like really give an answer to once again we are back to a tie and all these little things didn't help me at all there's some that we did that I feel like hold a little bit more weight than others let me know which old wives tale you believe let me know if you've had a kid before and which ones were true for you I would even throw in the dream one but I've had dreams about both boys and girls so like that doesn't mean anything for me so I think I just have to leave it here as a tie so at this point leave me a comment let me know what you think I'm having so we have it in writing so you get all the bragging rights and the I told you so once I announce what the baby is do you think it's a boy or do you think it's a girl if you enjoyed this video make sure you give me a thumbs up and subscribe I post two new videos every week once on Friday and once on Sunday and make sure to
