Take the Quiz FreeFrom the moment you see those two lines, one question starts burning in the back of your mind: is it a boy or a girl?
Most parents won't find out through medical testing until weeks 16 to 20 at the earliest. That's a blood test (NIPT) around week 10-13 with results taking another 1-2 weeks, or the anatomy scan ultrasound between weeks 18 and 20. Either way, that's months of wondering.
And let's be honest: the wait is agonizing. You want to start picking names. You want to plan the nursery. You want to tell your family. You want to dream about who this little person is going to be.
What if you didn't have to wait?
Our quiz draws from generations of old wives' tales that mothers have sworn by for centuries.
From cravings and bump shape to sleep position and dreams, each question is rooted in classic folklore passed down through generations.
Our algorithm weighs every answer against the traditional old wives' tales and delivers a clear boy or girl prediction with a confidence percentage.
Reveal to your partner, share at your baby shower, or keep it your little secret until the ultrasound confirms. It's your moment.

The Nesting Co. gender prediction quiz asks 44 carefully curated questions based on old wives' tales passed down for generations. Questions cover bump shape (carrying high vs low), food cravings (sweet vs salty), morning sickness severity, baby's heart rate, sleep position, skin changes, hair growth, and more. It also includes 8 bonus hands-on tests like the Ring Test, Baking Soda Test, Needle Test, and Pendulum Test. Each answer is weighted against traditional folklore, and you get a boy or girl prediction with a confidence percentage.
You can take the quiz at any point during your pregnancy. Many moms take it as early as 4-8 weeks when they first find out and can't wait for the 16-20 week ultrasound or blood test. The more symptoms you've noticed, the more confidently you can answer, but even early in pregnancy most questions will apply to you.
The quiz is based on old wives' tales and folklore, not medical science. It's designed for entertainment and fun during pregnancy. The only medically accurate ways to determine your baby's gender are an NIPT blood test (around weeks 10-13), an anatomy scan ultrasound (weeks 18-20), CVS, or amniocentesis. That said, many mothers report the quiz matched their ultrasound results, and it's a wonderful way to enjoy the anticipation.
Old wives' tales are traditional beliefs passed down through generations. Common examples: carrying low means a boy, carrying high means a girl; salty cravings suggest a boy, sweet cravings suggest a girl; severe morning sickness indicates a girl; heart rate over 140 BPM suggests a girl; cold feet means a boy; and glowing skin means a boy while breakouts mean a girl. Our quiz covers all of these across 44 questions.
Tie your wedding ring to a string and hold it over your belly while lying down. If it swings back and forth in a straight line, the tale says boy. If it swings in a circle, the prediction is girl. Our quiz includes the ring test along with 7 other hands-on tests like the baking soda test, needle test, and pendulum test.
The earliest medical option is a Non-Invasive Prenatal Test (NIPT) blood draw around week 10-13, with results in 1-2 weeks. An anatomy scan ultrasound can reveal gender between weeks 18-20. Some private clinics offer early gender scans at 14-16 weeks. While waiting, many parents take gender prediction quizzes for fun starting as early as they learn they're pregnant.
According to folklore, craving salty, savory foods like chips, pickles, and meat suggests a boy, while craving sweets like chocolate, candy, and ice cream suggests a girl. There's no scientific evidence linking cravings to gender, but it's one of the most widely known pregnancy beliefs and is included in our quiz.
Old wives' tales say severe morning sickness (especially hyperemesis gravidarum) indicates a girl, possibly due to higher hCG hormone levels. Mild or no morning sickness is traditionally associated with a boy. Some research has shown a slight correlation, but morning sickness alone is not a reliable gender indicator.
