Many people also use a sewing needle instead of a wedding ring, with the string threaded through the needle’s eye (the test is done in the same way with a needle as with a ring).
Note that you don’t have to be pregnant to try this test! It’s a fun activity for anyone who plans to have kids.
Another version of the myth swings the ring over your hand. [5] X Research source This variation claims that each swing of the ring predicts another baby you’ll have, as well as that baby’s sex, and the test is only over when the ring stops swinging.
Statistically, the ring test is just as likely to indicate someone is having a boy as it is to indicate they’re having a girl. Still, it’s a fun tradition to take part in. It might not tell you the sex of your baby, but your ideomotor movements might reveal which sex you subconsciously want!
CVS and amino tests are 2 additional, accurate tests for your baby’s sex, however these tests are invasive and not typically done for sex prediction, primarily, and aren’t recommended over ultrasounds or NIPTs.
