Who will be born: a boy or a girl?This question interests almost all future parents. And not every couple can calmly remain in happy ignorance for nine months. Therefore, future fathers and mothers try to use all possible methods to reveal this secret as quickly as possible. But before, it was possible to find out who the heir was only after the birth.
How to know the sex of the child yourself
Many parents are trying to find an answer toan exciting and intimate question, resorting to folk signs and beliefs. It is enough to observe a pregnant representative of the fair sex to answer the question of interest even before birth. Surprisingly, such signs often have absolutely no scientific basis. What is most strange is that in some inexplicable way they come true. Folk methods of determining the sex of the child, which our mothers and grandmothers knew about, can help you too. We determine by the appearance of a pregnant woman
- If the future mother began to look worse, on her facethere were pigment spots or spots, then, by all means, there will be a girl. In the people it is believed that it takes away the beauty. If during the entire period the pregnant looks beautiful, wait for the boy.
- If the puziko has a pointed shape, it is located low and can not be seen from behind (from the back), hence, the son lives in it. In more round - a daughter.
- Belly with the boys are more pigmented, and with the girls the spots reach only to the navel.
- If a pregnant woman's hair grows on the body, and a small fluff appears on her stomach, then there will be a boy. When such changes in hair growth are absent - a girl.
- If a woman expecting a baby gets fat in the buttocks and thighs, then this is for the birth of her daughter, if this is not observed - to her son.
We determine by the behavior of the expectant mother
- If the pregnant woman became irritable and capricious, there will be a girl, behaving calmly and steadily - a boy.
- If a woman keeps grace and mobility throughout her pregnancy, it means she wears a girl, became clumsy - a boy.
- If the future mother sleeps better on the left side, a daughter will be born, on the right - wait for the son.
- If the pregnant woman "pulls" on the bread crusts, there will be a boy, and if he chooses a bread crumb, then it's a girl.
- If the pregnant representative of the fair sex, rising from a chair, constantly leans on her right arm, one should expect a future beauty, and if on the left - a heartthrob.
- If a woman is “drawn” to salty, sour, dairy and meat, then it is the naughty boy who asks for all this; if she is “drawn” to sweets and fruits, then it is the baby who demands such delicacies.
- If the future mother often vomits, you should wait for the girl. And if she has an increased appetite during pregnancy - a boy.
"Chemical" folk method usingfresh pasteurized milk This experiment is aimed at identifying the chemical composition of a pregnant woman's urine. It shows results only when the hormonal changes in the female body have already begun (at least in the second month of pregnancy). In women carrying girls, the level of human chorionic gonadotropin (a specific hormone) is on average one fifth higher than in those who will give birth to a boy. Despite the fact that the method is suitable for women who are more than 10 weeks pregnant, you can do a couple of tests even at the very beginning. So, you should do the following: mix urine with milk in equal proportions (i.e. one to one). Then bring to a boil and wait a couple of minutes. If there is a boy in the belly, the milk will not change in appearance, if there is a girl, it should curdle. Determined by the number of heartbeats per minute They say that the heart of girls being carried beats faster than that of boys. If the heart rate is slightly more than 150 per minute, you should expect the birth of a girl. But, of course, you shouldn’t take this seriously. Everything depends on the physiological characteristics of the fetus. Determining by the parents’ blood This is one of the most complex methods that allows you to quickly and accurately determine the baby’s sex from the moment of conception. To do this, take into account the age of the blood. It is known that in men, it is renewed once every 4 years, and in women – once every 3. The child will be born of the sex whose blood was younger at the time of conception. In this case, various external and internal factors are also taken into account: surgeries, childbirth, blood transfusions and abortions. They are considered the beginning of the cycle. Let’s look at an example calculation: at the time of conception, the man was 30 years old, and the woman – 28. Let’s find out how many blood renewal cycles each had: the father’s – 7.6 (30:4), the mother’s – 9.3 (28:3). So, the woman’s blood was renewed 9 times, plus 0.3 more new cycles have passed. And the man’s blood was renewed 7 times, and 0.7 more new cycles have already passed. Whose blood is “newer” will dictate the sex of the child. In this case, the mother’s blood is younger and more active, which means that the fair sex will give birth to a girl.
Determine the sex in the hospital
Today there are three main scientific methodssex determination. They are more accurate and reliable. But, unfortunately, each of them can also show an incorrect result. At the same time, the cost of some procedures will not be affordable for everyone. If you still really want to know who you will have, choose one of them.
- DNA analysis
Early determination of the sex of the child usingDNA analysis is based on a prenatal study of the mother's venous blood. This is the only reliable method for determining the sex of the future baby, which eliminates all risks to the health of the mother and fetus. Blood testing can be done after the seventh week of pregnancy. It has been verified that the accuracy of the result in most cases is about 99%. The essence of the DNA test is that with the help of a special device, the presence of the SRY gene, specific to the male fetus, is determined in the mother's blood. If such a gene is detected, it means that a boy will be born. This method is completely painless. And, among other things, it allows you to determine the presence or absence of Pattau, Down, Edwards syndromes and Rh conflict in the early stages of pregnancy.
- Ultrasound examination
Determining the sex of the child using ultrasound is alsois one of the most accurate and safe modern methods. Among other things, ultrasound helps to identify fetal development pathologies at early stages. It is prescribed 3 times during the entire pregnancy. In this way, the development of the embryo is monitored, and possible errors in the first examinations are minimized. The sex of the child can be determined with the help of ultrasound starting from the 12th week, but there is also a possibility of error. The doctor only makes an assumption about who you will have (50/50). Of course, much depends on the qualifications of the specialist, as well as the quality of the equipment. The sex of the child is determined more accurately on the 14th week after conception. The most reliable is the third ultrasound. Inaccuracies are associated with the fact that the genitals are not identified until a certain moment. Visualization is affected by such factors as the thickness of the abdominal wall, the amount of amniotic fluid and the position of the fetus. Sometimes children turn so much during the examination that their genitals are not visible even on the third ultrasound. Sometimes the doctor may mistake the umbilical cord loop or the baby's fingers for the penis.
- Biopsy
Determining the sex of children using biopsyChorionic villus sampling is a rather dangerous method. But it is highly accurate, up to 100%. It is mainly prescribed to detect genetic abnormalities and other pathologies. This test should not be overused without special indications, as it is fraught with complications, including miscarriage. It is worth mentioning that you can also determine the sex of the baby using pharmacy home tests. They react to urine. The principle is based on the fact that the body of a pregnant woman intensively produces certain hormones. Chemical reagents included in the test react with urine, giving it a certain color. “Girl” corresponds to orange, and “boy” - green. This method is not very accurate, the probability of error is from 10 to 15 percent. The result is affected by possible genital tract infections, taking hormonal drugs or hormonal diseases. Therefore, you should not take it too seriously, especially if the gender is very important to you. By the way, you should not immediately buy all the products at the pharmacy. You need to wait a little. The beginning of the second trimester is when you can find out the sex of the baby. Interestingly, some couples refuse the opportunity to find out the sex of the future child. And the reasons can be different, from prejudice to the expectation of a pleasant surprise. They are understandable. After all, whoever is born into this world (a boy or a girl), you cannot imagine or find a more dear creature! We recommend reading:
