Celeb mom prediction tricks
When Kate Hudson was pregnant with her second child, she told the Today show she used old wives’ tales to try to predict the sex of her baby.
“You get a ring and [you tie a strand of] your hair and put it over your belly and it swings,” she said. “Everybody has different methods... it goes in a circle if it’s a girl and it usually goes back and forth if it’s a boy. It’s saying it’s a girl, and I’m carrying so differently than I did with Ryder.”
Old wives’ tales predict if you are carrying low you are having a boy, while carrying high means you are having a girl.
Was Hudson’s prediction of a girl accurate? She gave birth to her second boy, Bingham, in July.
Jessica Simpson is using her intuition to predict her baby’s sex. “I think it’s a girl,” she recently confessed. Her fiance Eric Johnson, however, thinks it is a boy.
Hilary Duff is having sweet pregnancy cravings, saying she is “always up for Red Hots, which is weird because I’ve never liked them before.” If the age-old predictions are accurate, she should be having a boy, and she recently revealed she is having a boy!
