Hello!

Hubby and I are thinking about baby number 2. We were told that the hairline on the neck of the baby will predict the next baby’s gender. Hair straight across- which means same gender. If it goes into a peak it would be a different gender. My daughter’s hair is straight across, so I should have another girl. Just for a bit of fun, lets test this wives tale. Does it line up with your children, or is it a busted myth?

  • Lol. I only had one so I’ll never know.


  • Come to think of it, my first born was a boy, his hair came to a peak and my second was a girl.


  • If that was the case I wouldn’t have my Dad’s fine wavy hair and my Mum’s thick wiry hair.


  • no it is just an old wives tale of course so don’t take it too serious and just have fun


  • Interesting article so long as it’s not harming anyone!


  • Wish I new this before have my 3 lols


  • Lol! I suppose it’s about a fifty fifty chance of being right.


  • I only have one, and I haven’t heard of this tale before, but fascinated!


  • Ha ha ha not that simple. So many tales, I was also told if you make your baby very early in the morning you would get a girl and late in the day a boy. So every morning at 4am we tried to make one and eventually did, but out came a boy. All we did was create a son who loves to get up between 4-6am every morning without fail.


  • It’s a myth or my 4th child would of been a girl but nope was a boy.


  • I have never heard of this before. I will look at the kids and see


  • there are some good comments here


  • I haven’t heard that before, there are so many different myths out there.


  • would love to know if this works out lol


  • From my experience with three baby boys I’d say myth!
