really?! Where on earth did you find this?! Did you see that programme last night about women who really wanted girls? I wonder whether any of them tried this!!

Its cheaper than a private gender scan!

I think I might have to give this a go. We could do a little experiment, if loads of us do it then report back after our 20 week scan! I wonder if you did another would you get the same result?

I am loving this idea! Im out to buy red cabbage tomorrow, I want to find out sex as soon as! Think it may be a boy though, as there are a lot of men in my boyfriends family, his brother also ad two boys! Im assuming this counts for something.

im going to try this!
ive never heard of anything like it before but would be a lot cheaper than an early gender scan.
i have my 20 week scan in 4 weeks so i think i will give it a go and report back if my results were accurate! how exciting!
