Boy vs Girl
I found this cute list on a random Swedish woman's pregnancy site and I thought it was neat. :) We have our own "wive's tales" about if it will be a boy or girl, so it is neat to see something in Swedish about it. Some of it doesn't apply to us yet, so I'll go through it now, and keep updating it as time goes on. :)
Du kommer att få en pojke om... (You're going to have a boy if...)
• din bebis hjärta slår med mindre än 140 slag/minut (your baby's heart beats less than 140 beats/minute) No.
• du bär magen "framåt" (your stomache is forward) No.
• du bär bebisen långt ner (the baby is low) No.
• du blir vackrare under graviditeten (you become prettier/more beautiful during the pregnancy) Not sure I should be the judge of this one.
• du inte var illamående de första tre månaderna (you were not sick during the first 3 months) Slightly naucious for a little while, but never threw up once!
• dina pupiller utvidgas när du tittar på dig själv i spegeln minst en minut (your pupil widens when you look at yourself in the mirror for at least a minute) Stayed about the same. No difference in the end.
• du vill äta salt och proteinrik mat, som ost och kött (you want to eat salt and protein rich foods, like cheese and meat) No.
• dina fötter lättare blir kalla (your feet become cold easier) Always have cold feet.
• du gör en pendel av din vigselring och en bit tråd, hänger den över magen och den svänger i cirklar (make a pendulum with your wedding ring and a piece of thread, hang it over your stomach and it swings in circles) Yes! Each time.
• du får torr hy (you have dry skin) Nope.
• du lägger din ålder då du blev befruktad till numret på månaden du blev befruktad och svaret är ett jämnt nummer (take the number of your age when you became pregnant plus the number of the month you became pregnant and the answer is an even number) 27 years + 1 for January = 28! Even number.
• du fått tjockare och blankare hår under graviditeten (you get more thicker and shinier hair during pregnancy) No.
• håret på benen växet fortare under graviditeten (the hair on your legs grows faster during pregnancy) Actually growing slower and thinner.
• du lättare får huvudvärk (you get headaches easier) The headaches come and go, nothing more than normal.
• du sover med huvudet mot norr (you sleep with your head to the North) Nope! To the South.
• du spontant visar händerna med handflatan nedåt ifall någon ber att få se dem (if someone asks to see your hands, you automatically show your hands with palms down) Nope.
• du sover på vänster sida (you sleep on your left side) Right or left side.
• din urin är klargul (your urine is a clear-yellow) No.
• du luktar starkt från hela kroppen då du ätit vitlök (you smell a lot from your whole body when you eat garlic) No.
• om ditt förra barns första ord vad "pappa". (your previous child's first word was "dada") Doesn't apply.
Du kommer att få en flicka om... (You're going to have a girl if...)
• din bebis hjärta slår fortare än 140 slag/minut (your baby's heart beats more than 140 beats/minute) Average of 150-160.
• du är rund runtom, inte bara framåt (your are more round in the middle, not only outwards) A small bubble that is pretty wide.
• du bär bebisen högt (your baby is high) Very high.
• du inte alls blev vackrare under graviditeten (you didn't become at all prettier during pregnancy) Not sure I should be the judge of this one.
• du var illamående de första tre månaderna (you were sick during the first 3 months) Nope!
• dina pupiller inte utvidgas när du tittar på dig själv i spegeln minst en minut (your pupils do not widen when you look at yourself for at least a minute in the mirror) Stayed about the same. No difference in the end.
• du vill äta sötsaker som juice, frukt och godis (you want to eat sweet things like juice, fruit, and candy) Definately having a sweet-tooth now: chocolate.
• du gör en pendel av din vigselring och en bit tråd och den svänger från sida till sida när du håller den över magen (make a pendulum with your wedding ring and a piece of string and then hang it over your stomach and it swings from side to side) Nope.
• din hy är mjukare än vanligt (your skin is softer than normal) Used to have very dry elbows, now always super soft.
• du är mer känslosam än vanligt (you are more emotional than normal) Yes. :/ I can just go through the TV channels and just catch a glimpse of Oprah and start crying.. :/ Rather annoying actually.....
• du spontant visar dina händer med handflatan uppåt om någon ber att få se dem (when someone asks to see your hands, you automatically show them palms up) Yes.
• du inte luktar starkt efter att ha ätit vitlök (you don't smell strongly after eating garlic) Correct.
• du lägger din ålder vid befruktningen till numret på den månad du blev befruktad och svaret är ett udda tal (you add your age, when you became pregnant, with the number of the month you became pregnant and the answer is a odd number) Nope.
• ditt hår blivit tunnare och mer glanslöst under graviditeten (your hair has become thinner and less shiny during pregnancy) No. Hair has stayed the same.
• du sover på höger sida (you sleep on your right side) Left or right side.
• du sover med huvudet mot söder (you sleep with your head towards the South) Yes! (South-East)
• din urin är mindre klargul (your urine is less clear-yellow) Yes.
