When parents hear the good news for the first time, it marks the beginning of an exciting chapter in their life. And with this, a lot of speculations start, mostly revolving around the gender of the baby. Of course, doctors can let the parents know about the baby’s gender with the help of an ultrasound. But, there are many parts of the world where sex determination is banned due to the fear of its misuse. However, it still remains one of the most fascinating questions in a parent’s mind. And, they often start making their own guesses about whether they will be blessed with a boy or a girl. That guess is often coupled with what many believe to be “signs” indicating the sex of the baby. Here, we bring you some of them:
1. Clumsy You
