Baby Gender Games

Pre-Conception Games

• Making a game of tracking parental food habits before conception is one way said to predict baby's gender. Eating meat and salty foods before conception leads to a boy, while fish, vegetables and sweets suggest a girl. In addition, men who wear boxers before conception are more likely to have a girl, while those who wear briefs tend to have boys, according to old wives' tales on the BabyCenter website.

Conception Games

• Use this game to determine what gender your child will be based on the events surrounding his conception. Think back to when your child was conceived. If you had intercourse at night, on an odd day of the month, standing up, after being seduced by your male partner or laid down after intercourse, signs point to a boy. However if you had intercourse in the afternoon, on a even day, laying down, after the woman initiated or during a full moon, you are more likely to have a girl.

Mother's Apperance

• Make a game out of following the mom-to-be's appearance during pregnancy for clues to the child's gender. Dry hands, clear skin, clumsy movement and a larger left breast all suggest you are having a boy, notes the Parents website. On the other hand, soft hands, acne breakouts, graceful movement, a larger right breast and weight gain in your face all lead to a girl.

Mom's Preferences

• Tracking mom's preferences during pregnancy is another way to guess your baby's gender. Expectant moms who crave salt are having boys while those who prefer citrus or sweet food are having girls. Moody moms-to-be and those with extreme nausea or morning sickness that last all day often have girls, while those with the opposite symptoms typically have boys, according to the old wives' tales. In addition, pregnant women who prefer sleeping on the left side will have a boy and those who sleep on the left will have a girl.

Other Games

• Dangle the expectant mother's wedding ring over her belly and watch how it moves. If the ring moves in a circle, signs point to a boy, while a ring that sways back and forth suggests a girl. Listen to baby's heartbeat. A faster beat, above 140 beats per minute, leads to a girl while a slower beat, under 130 beats per minute, suggests a boy, according to a tradition stated on the Babyzone website.
