Red Cabbage Gender Test

So i thought for fun i would take the Red Cabbage gender test.

here is some info i found on it that made me want to try it.

Okay, so I've found the most fun baby gender prediction test ever. You all know how much I love science stuff and being in the lab and gathering data, right? Well, this one is right up my alley. It's a baby gender prediction test that involves testing for urine pH using a red cabbage indicator. I found the test here so you can check it out.

The science behind this baby gender prediction test is pretty simple. Theoretically, your urine pH (how acidic or basic it is) changes based on whether you're pregnant with a boy or a girl. I believe that's how the baby gender prediction tests you can buy in the store work too. But they can be a little pricey. Red cabbage has pigments in it that are sensitive to pH and turn a different color based on how acidic or basic a solution is. Ergo, you can do a super cheap test on your urine pH using red cabbage from the grocery store

Here's how I did it:

1. Cut half a red cabbage into little pieces. If you're not feeling morning sick at the time and can stomach some of the red cabbage, enjoy a few bites while cutting. Great fiber and tons of nutrients.

2. Bring about 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the cabbage pieces and remove the pan from the heat to let the cabbage simmer for about 10 minutes until the water turns a deep purplish color.

3. Strain out the cabbage pieces and keep the water. Add equal parts of cabbage indicator water and urine. Concentrated urine (first thing in the morning, for example) works best, but try several times throughout the day. Watch for a color change!

This test says that a pink/red color indicates a boy and a purple color indicates a girl. The only problem I've found with this test is that people can't agree on what the colors mean.

 

Cabbage indicator water  Plus a little pee...oooooohhh, pretty!

 I held my breath as I watched the indicator change colors and it came up a beautiful pink. I'm going to stick with the original website and say that means BOY.

So here is mine now I went down to my friend Erins house and we Tried it out. They say you get better results with this test if you do it before 10 weeks but i did it 10 weeks 6 days. anyways i just did this to have fun i plan to add the other gender tests on here as well that way when we do find out the sex of the baby we can see if they were correct or not!! should be fun! Cole was also very nice and helped with this and peed in a cup for us to see what it changes to with male urine.

This is what it looked like before we added my morning sample. nice and blue.

this is my Results!!! GIRL!!!!!!!

but to be interesting we tried it with Coles sample.

Coles is a red pink color as you can see

which means BOY!

All three so you can see the difference

 

Here is me with my sample and looking like

crap! just one more sign of girl maybe

as the old saying goes

girls "steals” the mother’s beauty

Well all in all it was kinda fun to see what  happened.  im going to do some more test and see what they say and post them like i said and when we find out the sex we can see which ones were right and which ones were wrong. im going with 50% are wrong LOL
