What way did you find out the gender of your unborn baby?

[amira_zeng]

Dears, I am dying to know the gender of my baby. BUT  I am in China where we are not allowed to find out the gender of unborn baby by u/s. You know when I was having u/s. I asked. But the doctor just refused to tell me. Do you know which way can predicte/ find out the sex of unborn baby? Did you ever try anyway to predicte it? How was the result?
I heard some ways as  1.checking the shape of gestational sac 2.Chinese lunar calendar 3. the shape of belly
But it seems no one is 100% right. Do you guys know any better way to predict?

We can't tell from profile shots. I know why you're not told, and it must be hard to not know. I'd be so anxious. Unfortunately nothing but birth will tell you. Everything for me pointed to a boy, and I had a girl.

Dear marisol_jose, I am not sure the picture is helpful or not as in the picture you can only see my baby's face. Hospital in China don't take pic for baby's below part. ONLY face to shoulder.

With my son I craved salty foods - with my daughter not so much - more sweet cravings.  Any other method for me was off. The Chinese Lunar calendar and fetal heart rate predictions weren't accurate for me.  People would  look at me and say they were CERTAIN I was carrying one gender and other people were just as sure the baby was the opposite gender.  The salty thing with my son was the only difference in my pregnancies.

I agree with the girl who said that if you have any pictures then post them. Hopes this helps

yeah, it must be hard being told your not going to find out. I dont think there's a definate way to find out :( people carry differently and have different symptoms and cravings.

[amira_zeng]

well. u/s is not always 100% right. But it is the way we can trust more.

[amira_zeng]

chezross, You are right. I know u/s is 100% right. But unfortunately the doctor don't tell as law forbiden in China. Just wanna know any way to know which is more accurate.

everything other than ultrasound pointed to my baby being a boy, chinese lunar calender, old wives tales, cravings, all that stuff. ultrasound confirmed im having a girl :) but even ultrasounds arent completely 100%.

[amira_zeng]

Hi~ alaysha  Yes, I have an ultrasound picture. But in China hospital can only provide a picture showing the baby's face till shoulder. Can not see below part:(   Is such picture helpful?

[alaysha]

If you have ultrasound pictures post them. A lot of the girls on here (myself included) are pretty darn good at figuring out the gender. Other than that everything else is only old wives tales and cannot accurately tell the sex of a baby. Chinese lunar calendar was wrong for both of mine as is the belly shape.
