There have been so many myths about gender predictions over the years that claim to be able to predict whether you will have a baby boy or baby girl. Some of these Old Wives’ gender predictions are completely ridiculous, while some of them claim to be able to predict the gender of your baby with fool-proof accuracy.

 Most parents or even members of the family would love to know the sex of the baby that they are going to have way before the birth or even the ultrasound of the baby that can sometimes determine the gender as well. But, like all Old Wives’ tales, these gender prediction methods probably need to be taken with a grain of salt before they are given any merit as to whether they actually work or not. Here are some of the more common gender prediction methods that have been around for decades:

Swing the wedding ring!

 This gender prediction method involves the use of your wedding ring.

 You have to place the wedding ring on a sewing thread while the mother lies flat on her back. The wedding ring is then held in position over her body and the pregnant woman should be able to tell which direction the wedding ring is swinging. This gender prediction method says that if the wedding ring swings in a circular pattern then the sex of the baby is a girl. However, if the wedding ring swings back and forth then the baby is going to be a boy.

 Draino test

A strange gender prediction method that sounds crazy enough not to be true involves the use of Draino and your urine. Draino crystals should be bought and placed into a glass jar. Your first morning urine should be used and it should be poured directly onto the urine into the glass jar.

 However, you better stay back in case a harmful smell or unusual reaction occurs between the two. After about 15 seconds the Draino should change colors. If it happens to turn a brownish color then you are about to give birth to a baby boy. If the Draino doesn’t change colors, then you’re having a girl.
