Superstitions-Newborn Hopes-Boy or Girl

A widespread traditional way to predict the sex of a baby was to dangle a wedding ring or needle by a hair or thread over the pregnant woman's stomach, and watch how it moved.
 When it was dangled, it would move either in a circle or from side to side. 
If the ring swings like a pendulum, the baby will be a girl; if it swings in a circle, it will be a boy....
or is that the other way around? 
Unfortunately, there seems to be no agreement as to which movement foretold which gender.
