Baby Alvey's gender and due date are unknown. Several old wives' tales tests were performed on the mother's urine, including the wedding ring test, baking soda test, cabbage test, and Drano test. Most tests indicated it's a girl. However, tests for food cravings and heartbeat pointed to a boy. An ultrasound at 31 weeks estimated the due date as May 25th, measuring 12 days ahead of schedule. Participants were asked to guess the baby's gender and due date for a chance to win a prize.

over the pregnant belly.

pendulum.

6. Chinese Calendar
Legend says that the Chinese gender charts are
over 700 years old and 90% correct if used
properly. The gender of the baby is predicted
based on the month of conception and the
mother’s birthday- both expressed as dates in the
Chinese lunar calendar.
Britt was 25 in the lunar calendar and conceived
in July in the lunar calendar.
8. Even and Odd Theory
Legend has it that the Mayans determined a
baby’s sex by looking at the mother’s age at
conception and the year of conception.

Girl: Both values are even or odd.

31. Due Date Estimation
The due date for the baby is June 6th, 2013
The baby has been small all of the second trimester, but had some interesting developments on his
last scan, done at 31 weeks, though the due date has remained the same.
Average Gestation is 40 weeks (June 6th), though a full-term pregnancy is between 37 (May 16th)
and 42 (June 20th) weeks.
Most first pregnancies will either come early or late, not on time.
37 weeks - 5.69% 38 weeks - 14.36% 39 weeks - 21.56%
40 weeks - 32.44% 41 weeks - 14.65% 42 weeks - 3.40% 43+ weeks - 0.13%
