Perhaps, all mothers or fathers want to find out as soon as possible who they will have: a son who urgently needs to buy a helicopter, or a cutie-daughter. Or even "twins"? But is it possible to do this in advance, so as not to languish in anticipation for the next nine months? Of course! There are many methods of how to do this. Each method has both pros and cons.
Determine the sex of the baby in the hospital
- Ultrasound
Determine gender with a high percentage of probabilitycan be done with the help of an ultrasound examination (abbreviated as US). This is the most famous scientific method used by almost all modern inhabitants of our planet. At 15 weeks, you can already find out the answer to the question that interests you. But you can get a 100% result only in rare cases. In which month is it better to do this? At 22 weeks, an ultrasound already gives an accurate result.
- Chorionic biopsy
Another scientific method for determining genderchild - chorionic biopsy. Biopsy is the most accurate, 100% method. And it can be performed starting from the 6th week of pregnancy, naturally, depending on medical indications. Of course, such a procedure is unsafe and can cause a threat of termination of pregnancy (i.e. miscarriage). The whole point of this method is to extract cells of the future placenta from the woman's uterus with a special needle. This procedure is not prescribed to pregnant women out of curiosity.
- Amniocentesis
The sex of the baby can be determined at an early stageusing amniocentesis. This is a modern method that is used to determine genetic abnormalities. For this, an analysis of amniotic fluid is taken. In everyday life, it is not recommended to resort to it if everything is fine with you.
- Hormonal research
Doctors also use a modern methodhormonal studies. The sex of the child can be determined by the level of hormones contained in the mother's blood. You can find out who will be born already in the earliest months of pregnancy.
Folk methods and observations
- Even-odd days
There is an opinion that if the mother's age is even andthe conception of the child was done in an even month, then a girl will be born. If the age is odd and the conception occurred in odd months, a girl will also be born. This is not only a common opinion, but also a certain pattern. But to conceive a boy, the woman must be of an odd age and the months even. And vice versa.
- Sexual life
There is another theory that has been developedscientists, is a theory of sexual life. Conducting numerous studies, it was established that the sex of a child depends on the activity of his father's sexual life. These experiments were conducted on animals, and constantly increasing or decreasing the sexual activity of the male. The same thing happens with people. Rare sex contributes to the conception of a girl, but you have to work on a boy, forgetting about rest and entertainment.
- Statistics
The sex of the baby can be found out in advance with the help ofstatistics. This method requires knowing the woman's age, number of births, status and much more. This option is good if the sex of the future child is planned. The main role is played by the mother's age. So, for example, the older the woman, the less likely it is that a boy will be born. The same applies to the number of births: the more births, the less chance of conceiving a future conqueror of ladies' hearts.
- Palpitation
Previously, even doctors believed that from 12 weeksYou can determine the sex of the baby using its pulse. A pulse of 140 beats per minute or higher indicates that a girl will be born. At the moment, this theory has not been proven. But if you are interested, you can still try. Maybe you will guess.
- Food
The most famous method of planning the futurechild - French diet. A special diet must be followed during the last menstrual cycle. Scientists have proven with 80% probability that if you eat foods with a lot of calcium, magnesium, and sodium before conception, you will have a boy. This means that meat, fish, seafood, bread, legumes, sausage, salty foods, and vegetables are ideal for planning. For the birth of a girl, it is advisable to eat spices, greens, a little fish and meat, sugar, eggs, vegetables, honey, etc. So, in order for a boy to be born, you need to eat foods that are rich in calcium and magnesium, and for a girl, these minerals should be in limited quantities.
- Ovulation
It is impossible not to mention one more popular methodrecognition of the sex of the unborn child. This is calculated based on the date of ovulation. This method is based on the difference between the so-called "male" and "female" spermatozoa. In laboratories, a medical study of the husband's semen is carried out, the sperm is analyzed. But, since this has not been scientifically proven, this method also refers to "amateur".
- Blood type
Blood type also influences conception of a child.Therefore, be sure to find out what kind of blood you and your husband have (don't forget to check the Rh factor). As some experts assure, with a certain blood group, either a boy or a girl can be born. For example:
- if the father and mother have 1 blood group, then a girl will be born.
- if the father has 1, and the mother has the 2 group - the boy.
- if the father has 1, and the mother 3 the group is a girl.
- if the father has 1, and the mother has the 4 group - the girl.
It is believed that the Rh factor of the blood can alsoaffect the sex of the future child. If both parents have a positive or negative Rh factor, then there is a chance that a girl will be born. In other cases, a boy is expected.
- Blood Update
Another old "grandfather's", but widelyA common method that helps to determine the sex at an early stage is the blood renewal method. As you know, a woman's blood changes approximately once every three years. In representatives of the stronger sex, this process occurs once every four years. You can find out when the blood change occurred like this: you need to divide the mother's age by 3, and the father's by 4. If the remainder of the number is greater for the father than for the mother, then a boy will be born. And vice versa. Since ancient times, every woman wanted to know the sex of her unborn child. Therefore, grandmothers and great-grandmothers used various folk methods. And if in most cases the sign came true, it was classified as a sign. For example, the most famous method, which many use even today, is the shape of the belly. A round belly indicates the birth of a girl, and a sharp one - a boy. But this is not a scientific method. Remember that doctors deny it. Sometimes the sex of the child is predicted by the woman's well-being. They say that with toxicosis a girl is born, but an increased appetite and good health predict the appearance of a future defender of the Fatherland. This method is also not supported by scientific research. How many times did a woman eat everything in sight, and she gave birth to a beautiful daughter. So you can’t tell the gender by appetite. Many women say that the appearance of a pregnant woman can also reveal the gender of the unborn child. If a representative of the fair sex begins to lose her beauty, it is believed that the girl takes it for herself. And vice versa. This method has a grain of reason at its core, since female hormones are spent during the formation of a girl, and this, naturally, affects the mother’s appearance. It is interesting that our ancestors determined the gender of a child, referring to the strength of the spouses’ love. If a man loved his wife more, then a boy should be born, and if a woman, then a girl. But how many cases are there when parents love each other equally! But it doesn’t matter which method of determining gender the future parents choose. Yes, in the modern world there are many options, even in the early stages of pregnancy. The main thing is that a little miracle will be born. And the child should be loved and long-awaited. When you hold a baby in your arms, it won't matter whether it's a boy or a girl. After all, children are our everything.
