It’s one of the most burning questions a pregnant mama has, but one you have to wait on. Take our fun quiz to find out your baby’s sex early.
After finding out you’re pregnant, you might quickly begin to wonder Am I having a boy or a girl (or twins!)? Whether you’re planning to find out with a first trimester test, at the 20-week ultrasound, or on baby’s birth day, the wait can feel unbearable. There’s nothing more exciting than getting to know your baby.
So what’s a mama to do during that nine (almost 10!) month wait? For generations, women have passed the time with old wives’ tales and myths that may (or may not) indicate the sex of the baby. You could spend your time reviewing Chinese gender charts, taking baking soda tests, and dangling a ring over your belly… or you could take our fun quiz to find out the answer to that BIG question:
Am I having a boy or a girl?!
Of course, we can’t really predict the sex of your baby — at least not with 100 percent certainty. But our fun quiz offers an answer to that burning question — Am I having a boy or a girl — based on the old wives’ tales and myths that pregnant women hear all the time.

Am I Having a Boy or a Girl? Quiz Says Boy!
So our little quiz thinks you’re having a boy? ? Congrats, Mama! If the old wives’ tales are correct, it sounds like you’re enjoying pregnancy sans morning sickness. Hooray! Enjoy that long, lustrous hair, too. And don’t forget to stock up on plenty of healthy food—studies show mamas carrying boys eat 10 percent more calories than mamas carrying girls.
Am I Having a Boy or a Girl? Quiz Says Girl!
It’s a girl! At least we think so, anyway. ? Congrats, Mama! If you’re experiencing morning sickness, hang in there and try these natural remedies for morning sickness. Do know that one study suggests giving birth to girls may be less painful, so you’ve got that going for you!
Quiz Results Are Great, But When Can I Confirm Baby’s Sex?
I know, I know — this quiz is far from scientific and you’re still anxious to know Am I having a boy or a girl?! Some mamas opt for an early test like MaterniT around 11 weeks. But many low-risk mamas won’t find out baby’s sex until much later — at the 20-week ultrasound.
But I’m Having Twins! When Do You Find Out the Sex of Twins?
So you’re having twins? Lucky you: You have double the love to look forward to! The downside? You might have to wait longer than some mamas to find out the sex of your babies. Because tests like MaterniT screen for chromosomal abnormalities, they’ll tell you what chromosomes are present in your blood. If the Y chromosome is present, you’re having a boy. What the test can’t tell you? How many Y chromosomes are present. So if a Y chromosome is detected, the test can only tell you that one of the babies is a boy. The other baby could be a girl or a boy! On the other hand, if there is no Y chromosome present, you’ll know both babies are girls!
Waiting It Out…
If your insurance doesn’t cover early screenings like MaterniT (many won’t, unless you’re over the age of 35 or considered high-risk), you’ll probably have to wait until the mid-point in your pregnancy to find out baby’s sex. And some mamas—whether they’ve decided to forgo ultrasounds or just want to be surprised—will be waiting right up until birth day. Either way, the wait can feel like a loooong time when you’re anxious to get to know baby. While you’re waiting, have fun speculating and try some of these gender predictors to see if they match up with your quiz results.
