Knowing the sex of the baby that is on the way, once it is known that everything is fine, is a common curiosity of parents. Therefore, there are several methods, simply based on popular belief and without scientific basis, to try to predict whether it will be a boy or a girl. Among these home methods are:
- The shape of the pregnant woman's belly.
- The ring method.
- The oil test.
- The bicarbonate test.
- Cravings, depending on whether the preference is for sweet or salty.
