The folklore of baby gender : function and symbolism of predictions, 2006.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/367928940

Madsen compares and contrasts folkloric methods of predicting an unborn baby's gender with their more scientific medical counterpart. Particular attention is given to the effectiveness of common folk methods, as well as the desire to pass these methods to future generations of expectant parents. Madsen also discusses the general evolution of society's view of pregnancy.
