If you cut an apple in half and count how many seeds are inside, you will also know how many children you will have.
Lettuce promotes child bearing if eaten by young women, and certain types of salad can bring on labor in pregnant women.
Mistletoe in the house protects it from thunder and lightning. It also cures many diseases, is an antidote to poison and brings good luck and fertility.
If you sleep with a pink ribbon under your pillow and sleep on the right, you'll get a girl. If you sleep with a red ribbon under your pillow and sleep on the left... you'll get a boy.

Choosing and predicting the sex of your child:
Some people believe that you can predict your baby's sex by mixing your urine with a little Drano. The resulting color is supposed to be the key, but no one seems to be able to agree on which color means which sex. One woman swears that this test has predicted the sex of her first three daughters, and says that now she is pregnant again and the result of the test in a bright blue color which is very different than the muddy brown color that her girls had. She says if she has a boy she will swear by the Drano test. Please don't try this. Not only is there nothing in Drano that would indicate a baby's gender, but mixing the chemicals in these two substances can produce dangerous fumes or even an explosion.
If the fetal heart rate is under 140 beats per minute (BPM), it's a boy. Baby girl's heart rate is usually faster than a boy's, but only after the onset of labor. There's no difference between fetal heart rates for boys and girls, but the rate does vary with the age of the fetus. By approximately the fifth week of pregnancy, the fetal heart rate is near the mother's - around 80 to 85 BPM. It continues to accelerate until early in the ninth week, when it reaches 170 to 200 BPM and then decelerates to an average of 120 to 160 BPM by the middle of the pregnancy. Normal fetal heart rate during labor ranges from 120 to 160 BPM for boys and girls.
Carrying low or forward means a boy; high or back means a girl. The way a pregnant woman carries the baby depends on her body type and the structure of the uterine muscles. In no way can the shape of a pregnant woman's abdomen foretell the sex of the baby. Neither can the fetal heart rate, the shape of the mother's face, or the old "Drano test." The only way to be 100% certain is to wait for the baby to be born.
What you eat before conceiving can affect the sex of your child.
If you want a boy?
Eat more meat (the redder the better).
Stick with salty snacks - pretzels, chips, and so on.
Dads-to-be: Stock up on soda (especially cola drinks).
If you want a girl
Both partners should eat lots of fish and veggies.
Give in to your chocolate craving (or just eat sweets in general).

LOOK TO YOUR MOTHER While physicians agree that such things as body size and shape that have been inherited from one or the other parent can contribute to whether your pregnancy will be similar to your mother's, it's not a clear cut indicator that history will repeat itself. Old wives tales that hold some merit:
1. If your mother had an easy pregnancy, you will, too.
2. If your mother never lost weight after pregnancy, you won't be able to, either.
3. If your mother got stretch marks, so will you.
4. If your mother had big babies, so will you.
WHERE DID THESE COME FROM? As with all old wives tales, there are a few that make you shake your head and wonder how they came to be. These no brainers are completely false:
1. If you want to know the sex of your child, urinate into a toilet filled with Drano. If the liquid turns blue, you'll have a boy. If it turns pink, it's a girl.
2. A sure-fire way to get pregnant is to stand on your head after intercourse. Gravity will ensure your success.
3. Suspend a needle from some thread and have someone hold it one inch above your hand. If the needle swings back and fort, a girl is in your future. If it moves in a circle, you can count on a boy.
4. Hang your wedding ring from a strand of the father's hair over your belly. If the ring moves side to side, it'll be a girl. If it swings, it will be a boy. Also, be sure to count the rotations that the ring makes to find out how many children you'll carry in your lifetime.

Myth: You can do any or all of the following things to get a girl.
Truth: These things certainly can be fun so why not?
If You Want a Girl...
1. Both parents should eat a lot of fish and veggies.
2. Eat chocolate and other sweets. (Yeah right, like we need that excuse, lol)
3.Do the baby dance when the moon is full.
4. Make time for a nooner.
5. Go horse back riding... make love with the woman on top.
6. Give the old missionary position try.
MYTH: To give the sperm a chance to make it through the cervix, you should stand on your head or lie on your back with your knees to your chest for at least half an hour after making love
Although it's not a good idea to dash off to the bathroom and allow all of the semen to dribble into the toilet, you don't have to go to extreme measures to ensure that the sperm make their way past the cervix. For the most part, they know where they're headed and what they're supposed to do when they get there.
