Best friends, Jemima Rose Nicholls, 27, and Lily Stewart, 27, tried an old wives’ tale involving red cabbage and were surprised to find that it worked. The pair, who are both pregnant and due in the last week of November, decided to test the quirky gender prediction method after Jemima’s grandmother suggested it. The method involves mixing urine with boiled red cabbage to determine the baby’s gender. Jemima shared, “My granny told me that back in the day, they would pee on a red cabbage to predict the baby’s sex.” Both friends were shocked when the test yielded results – Jemima’s water turned purple, indicating a girl, while Lily’s water turned red, suggesting she’s having a boy.
Despite already knowing the genders of their babies prior to the test, the friends from London were amazed by the accuracy of the old wives’ tale. Jemima expressed, “We couldn’t believe it. We didn’t expect it to work, but it did!” Encouraged by the success of the cabbage test, Jemima and Lily plan to explore more traditional methods to see if they hold true. Jemima mentioned, “We’re excited to see if these old methods really work.”
