Whether we found out or wanted to wait for a surprise, most of us have tried a few old wives’ tales to try to predict the gender of our unborn baby – an experience Jools Oliver has shared with her fans.
Jamie Oliver’s wife is expecting the couple’s fifth child, and is clearly keen to find out if she is carrying a boy or a girl.
Taking to Instagram to try out the pendulum swing, the 40-year-old wrote: “Asking the pendulum if our little baby is a boy or a girl???”
So what is the pendulum swing?
Well, according to tradition, if a chain held over a woman’s bump swings in a circle it’s a girl. If it goes back and forth it’s a boy.
However, while Jools, who revealed her pregnancy news back in March, didn’t say which way the chain swung, fans were quick to share their thoughts on whether the mum is expecting a little boy or a little girl.
“Looks like a boy to me,” wrote one, while another agreed, saying: “It’s a boy!”.
We’ll just have to wait and see!
The couple are already parents to Poppy Honey, 13, Daisy Boo, 12, six-year-old Petal Blossom and five-year-old Buddy Bear.
