Hehe...
how will you know that you are carrying a boy or a girl? lol (without having the scans yet)...
These are a few ive heard:
GIRL:
always happy
blooming
positive aura
skin & complexion are very smooth
heartbeat is so fast
BOY:
maitim ang kilikili
maitim ang neck hehe
pimples
moody
heartbeat is quite slow...
hehehe... funfunfunfun!
i know it's loads of rubbish hehe... pro pinoy tayo ba, di mawawala yan hehe...
hahaha, when I was pregnant with my son my grandmother told me i was having a girl s here i was pinning the gender of my unborn child to 'old wives tale' got pretty much excited, picked a girls name, even bought pink baby clothes, and when i gave birth i had no name for my son, and i had a ton of pinks baby growsoh happy days
God grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, the courage to change the things i can and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people i had to kill because they pissed me off.
Oh that's why my cousin is a gay coz his mom found both signs
Another beliefs
If you're pregnant don't take a picture baka makunan ka
After giving birth..
Do not drink cold water take warm one.
Do not take a bath just washed
If you'r first time taking a bath there's a green plants boiling, ahmmm i guess there's a ritual on it before you take it
and there's a hilot (massage) for 7 days
Don't make promises when you are in JOY. Don't reply when you are SAD.
Don't take decisions when you are ANGRY. Think twice, Act wise. BE happy.
You will have a boy if:
baby’s heart rate is under 140 beats per minute.
you are carrying low and in front
your urine is bright yellow
your right breast is bigger than your left
you don’t experience any morning sickness in the first trimester
You will have a girl if:
baby’s heart rate is faster than 140 beats per minute
you are carrying high and all over
your urine is clear
your left breast is bigger than your right
you sleep on your right side
String and Ring Test:
This "test" can also predict whether you will have a boy or a girl. Tie your wedding band or other ring on to a piece of string. Hold this string so that the ring hangs down in front of your belly. Gently swing the string: if the ring moves in a circular pattern, you are having a boy; if it moves in a straight line, you are having a girl.
Chinese Lunar Calendar:
The Chinese lunar calendar is a calendar that can be used to predict the sex of your baby. It takes the age when you conceived and your date of conception into consideration. From these dates, it can predict if you will have a boy or girl.
Well, in my experience, if you go to two hilots you get two different answers!
Best to wait for the next scan, methinks!
IF: baby’s heart rate is under 140 beats per minute.
you are carrying low and in front
your urine is bright yellow
your right breast is bigger than your left
you don’t experience any morning sickness in the first trimester
Then your are pregant !!!!!

Funny old wives tales , but for as long as the baby/ he or she is healthy I will be grateful and very happy.
If Im pregnant I will not worry about wether she or he or its boy or girl, most important is to look after yourself and make sure have enough nutrients that the baby needs.
Congrats again to all mothers to be.
Jump up & down.....if it rattles, it's a boy

you gave birth here? hows the scar? is it visible? or just like a very small line (not even visible) ive seen lots of worse cases on google hehehe...just scary hehe...
anyway! are you working? or have you booked your maternity leave yet? I hve spoken to Ann yesterday and think she said that she booked on her 29th week... and i am on my 29th week now but still working... and i am feeling the pains already huhuhu... i said, i will work up to 2 weeks before my due date hehe... (we will see) lol...
MISSCARRIE, hehehe tulog nga ng tulog hehehe coz it is more relaxing than sitting up and walking around... bigat na eh... 2kilos na daw sabi midwife...
i gave birth in phil with my first son.. and just arrived here in England last Saturday.. don't know yet if i wil have a cesarean again or normal this time. also worried, coz everyone says normal delivery is very painful. but others say cesarean is more painful, in my case really had no problem with it.
well not really visible and had it 'bikini cut'.. so i can still wear bikinis and swim suits
If the baby kicks it will be a boy...he's playing with all them Bola Bola's you Filipina's eat!

Oh dear birth experiences, will share mine then.
My 1st son was born 2005, over 6kilos and had natural birth, no pain killers except gas and air. It was quick, 4hrs labour however really painful and had a tear. Gas and air will ease the pain for awhile but will come back again after a few minutes so everytime I feel the burning pain of contractions I panic and inhales the gas/air quickly. I opted for natural birth bec you can be discharged from the hospital on the same day and of course heals quickly. If you are brave enough to endure the pain, I suggest to have natural birth bec once the baby is out, everything is fine. You heal quickly as well.
My 2nd boy was born 2008 at over 10lbs, opted for natural birth again but since we all didnt expect he was that big and can not get it out, I had an emergency CS. This was a nightmare bec it was more painful than my first and longer...my water burst but still can't push it out and midwife just keep telling me to push it until I passed out. When I was conscious again the contractions were horrible that I thought I would die - not scaring you
Now with my 3rd son due this May, midwife was telling me to have a natural birth again. Im still having 2nd thoughts about it but everytime I see my scar...was thinking I dont want to have another ugly scar on my belly! I reckon the next best option for me is to have epidural this time, they will numb you from waist down...well I said it depends on the size of the baby, I dont want it get stuck again if he is over 10lbs!
Hope I didnt put you off
Its up to you really but since its your 1st baby I suggest have a natural birth with gas and air and maybe request to inject you little pain killer, I forgot whats it called but it will help ease the pain. CS is the quickest and easiest but the healing part is longer and more painful and be prepared to get an ugly scar. Well it depends maybe on your skin type if it wont give you an ugly scar.
Good luck and let us know

Ohh that is long geraldine heheheh nice to read though
We have the same exp with our first'sSo I just hope i can still manage it.
I agree to you ..i would suggest to all mums if u r that brave enough go for natural birth first unless you need intervention
goodluck
I've been asking about availability of gas and air here, but it doesn't seem to exist. The options appear to be: Natural, with no pain killer, Epidural, or CS.
Oh, and the other thing which is testing me is that I'm not allowed to be present at the birth ... apparently it's the law! :(
Hi Ann! do you want to hear the long version? hahahah I swear thats the shortest I can write
Hi Peter...right I think they dont have that in Phil bec I remember my friends were aware of the birth but didnt feel a thing, that might be the Epidural. Its a shame you are not allowed to see the birth of your baby, is it just in that hospital? Im sure there are some hopsitals that allows the husband to be present. Im sure your wife will need you beside her during the birth. Good luck!
Correct - usually just referred to here as 'painless'.
As far as I understand, it's a country wide rule. Ruby's Ob/gyne is the head for the whole of Davao del Norte and tells me that it's simply not allowed. There is no pre-natal training here, like there is in UK, hence there is concern that the husband will become a nuisance in the delivery room.Its a shame you are not allowed to see the birth of your baby, is it just in that hospital? Im sure there are some hopsitals that allows the husband to be present. Im sure your wife will need you beside her during the birth.
Thank you Geraldine.Good luck!
