Okay, so I asked my pendulum these questions... these are the answers... I will say though, that it is usually only correct on the sex! However, I am whishing that that 5.5 hour labor thing is right ! haha Since my last labor was from xmas eve to new years day, where it ended with me being CUT open to get her out! I am going hardcore for my vbac.. but i have told myself that I will NOT labor for that long again with no progress... I guess I'll have to think about my limits.. but what the heck, I can still hope for a normal labor hat's only 5.5 hours, right!?!? Actually, if it's that quick, I might just have an unplanned unassisted birth AT HOME!! :)

So, I decided to try the pendulum trick. I did the whole tying a ring to a string over the belly trick, and each time I got the answer "boy". I even tried tying different objects to the string. Each time the answer was boy. So then I decided to see how to ask yes or no questions. Back and forth being yes, and in a circle being no. I asked if it was twins. I got a yes. I asked if it was twin boys. I got another yes. So i decided to see if I could ask a question that should be no. I asked if it was a girl. And I got no! It probably thinks i'm stupid. :eyesroll

So, if this thing is right... I should be having twin boys...

[lcaitlin]

this is a very interesting sticky! I never noticed it before, but I'm jumping in now because I love these kinds of guessing games. I'm cheating a little by guessing so close to birth, but here's my try:

Sex: Girl
Weight: 8 lbs
Length: 20 inches
Birthday: September 26
Birth Time: 2 am
Length of labour: 20 hours

[ShiningStar]

Sex: girl Girl

Length of labour: 8 hours 3.5 hrs

Even my original guess was girl, by the end of my pregnancy I was leaning more towards boy. I was most surprised by the weight. I was really expecting this little one to be closer to her big sister's weight 6lbs 0.8oz.

[amitymama]

Sex: Boy

Length: 21 inches (wrong! 22.5")
Birthday: September 28th (wrong! 18th)
Birth time: 4am (wrong! 4.32pm)
