Is the sex of the child important when you see the cherished twostrips? Reasonable mother will say: no, the main thing is to be healthy! But it turns out, this question is not rhetorical at all. Scientists have proved that it is more dangerous for women to be pregnant for women's health.Photo:Getty ImagesPregnancy tests the body of the expectant mother for strength. First, she is tormented by toxicosis, then heartburn, swelling and other "joys" of an interesting situation appear. But that's not all. The child in the womb sleeps, receives food and oxygen through the umbilical cord and ... emits harmful chemicals! Which can trigger oxidative and inflammatory processes in the mother's body. Specialists from the University of Granada have found that boys have a higher ability to do this than girls. In addition, scientists believe that newborn girls themselves cope with the harmful effects of the environment better than representatives of the stronger sex. This scientific discovery was the first of its kind, because no one has yet claimed that there is a connection between oxidative and inflammatory processes and the sex of children. What does this mean - is it harmful to give birth to boys? Not at all! You just need to be more attentive to your health and not miss visits to the doctor.
