There is a little trick for telling the sex of unborn babies that I have found extremely reliable. It involves dimes: Canadian dimes show girls as the Queen side. Baby dimes are not like regular dimes, however; baby dimes will actually have weight to them that defies logic. To me, they feel like a little ball of jelly in my palm, rather than the metal disc they actually are.
Pregnancy is usually denoted by a quarter partially covering a dime. The further away from the quarter the closer the baby is to being born. Sometimes when a mother doesn't realize she is pregnant or doesn't want anyone to know she is pregnant, the dime will hide beneath the quarter.
Unfortunately, sometimes the copper or death coin will show up beneath a quarter. This is not a good omen. Neither is having a heavy dime go light; miscarriage or a stillborn baby are the signs indicated by this.
Now once, however, I did have a very warm American penny act as a baby coin and land beneath the mother's own loonie coin. With baited breath I touched the coin; it was warm and heavy. She had a handsome copper haired baby boy and named him after an American president.
