How to find out who a pregnant woman is expecting. Boy or girl? We determine the gender of the child based on characteristics. Interesting video on how to determine who will be born: a boy or a girl

All future parents, without exception, want to know as early as possible what gender their child will be. Thanks to ultrasound examination (ultrasound), this can be found out no earlier than the second trimester, and errors often occur at such an early stage. All that remains for parents is to rely on scientific and folk methods to find out already 7-8 months before the birth who will be born - a girl or a boy. We will tell you in our article who the mother and father will be, what methods of calculating gender exist and how reliable they are. Here we will present an extensive list of signs that will help you find out the sex of your unborn baby at home.

Ultrasonography

The most famous and most common method today for determining the sex of a child is ultrasound. Thanks to ultrasound, the doctor and the expectant mother can monitor how well the pregnancy is progressing, make sure that the fetus has no developmental abnormalities, and at the same time find out the sex of the child. In many Russian centers ultrasound diagnostics this service is paid additionally, since the condition of the fetus, and not its gender, still comes first.

You can find out by ultrasound whether it will be a boy or a girl at 15-16 weeks of pregnancy. However, errors often occur during this period. More exact result gives an ultrasound done at 18-25 weeks, but it cannot be called 100% correct. There have been many cases where a woman, confident from 20 weeks that she was carrying a girl under her heart, gave birth to a healthy boy, and vice versa. The result is influenced by the position of the fetus, the condition of the ultrasound machine, and the qualifications of the doctor who conducts the study.

Fetal heartbeat

This theory is based on the fact that boys and girls have different heart rates in the womb. According to this technique, if the baby's heart beats at a rate of less than 140 beats per minute, then it is most likely to be a boy. In girls, the heart rate is always equal to or higher than this value. This method is quite effective in determining whether a woman will have a girl or a boy. Who it really will be can only be found out in the maternity hospital.

It is not possible to calculate the exact number of heart beats per minute at home. But among the people there has already appeared a sign associated with the child’s heartbeat. It is based on the fact that if the baby’s heart beats faster, then we can expect the birth of a girl, and if it beats slower, then a boy will be born.

DNA analysis

Starting from the 5th week of pregnancy, you can find out the sex of the child by fetal DNA found in the mother’s blood. This analysis is in many ways even preferable to ultrasound, since already at 8 weeks its effectiveness is 99.9%.

To perform the analysis, blood is taken from the mother in a special laboratory. The analysis itself is based on the fact that if, as a result of a blood test, a Y chromosome is detected in it, this means that the woman is carrying a boy. If during the analysis this chromosome is not detected, then it is worth preparing for the birth of a girl.

The technique is very effective in determining whether a mother will give birth to a girl or a boy. Who it will be becomes clear already in the first month of pregnancy. At this time, the baby's cells appear in the mother's blood. If a woman is pregnant with a boy, then Y chromosomes appear in her blood, which can only be detected by a highly sensitive method in the laboratory.

What will the test show: who will be a boy or a girl?

There's no need to wait at all ultrasound examination in the second trimester, to determine what gender the baby is under the mother’s heart. And you don’t even need to take a DNA test. You can find out the sex of the baby with 99% accuracy using the first morning urine.

Today, pharmacies sell special tests that allow you to find out whether a woman will have a son or daughter. The kit for such a pharmacy test includes: a container for collecting urine, a special dispenser for liquid, and the test itself with a catalyst inside.

How to find out who will be a boy or a girl using a test from a pharmacy?

You need to follow these steps:

1. Collect your first morning urine in a sterile container.
2. Fill the dispenser with urine to the 20 ml mark.
3. Insert the dispenser into the hole in the dough and pour all the liquid into it.
4. Using gentle clockwise movements, mix the contents of the dough and place it on the table.
5. After 5 minutes, you can check the results according to the instructions on the test.

The reliability of the test is one of the highest after ultrasound and DNA analysis.

Home test with baking soda

Another popular test among pregnant women is one that is performed at home using products available in every home. Thanks to this technique, you can find out who will be a boy or a girl without an ultrasound. What is the essence of a home test?

For the test you will need two sterile containers. In one you will need to collect the first morning urine, and in the other you will need to pour baking soda(1 teaspoon). Further all actions are performed according to the principle of a pharmacy test. The prepared urine is poured into a container with soda. The test result can be judged by the reaction. If the soda begins to hiss, as when reacting with vinegar, it means that the woman is carrying a boy. With a girl, the reaction with soda will be zero. Urine will have no effect on baking soda.

Ancient Chinese table

Research shows that the ancient Chinese table, which was compiled more than 700 years ago, is 90% accurate in determining the gender of a child if used correctly. The sex of the child is predicted based on the month of conception and the age of the mother. Knowing exactly the month of conception, you can easily find out who will be a boy or a girl.

The table allows you to calculate the sex of the child that a woman is carrying, up to the mother’s 45th birthday. Age is indicated in the right column, and the month of conception is in the top line. At the intersection of the values, the predicted gender of the child is indicated: boy or girl (boy or girl).

Blood renewal

The blood renewal method is used by future parents quite often, as it is one of the most effective and efficient. It is based on the fact that in both men and women the blood is systematically renewed. However, the frequency of this phenomenon is different for both sexes.

If a woman’s blood is renewed after four years, then for a man this happens a little more often - every three years. Using this method it is quite simple to calculate who will be a boy or a girl. It is necessary to calculate which of the future parents has fresher blood. If a woman’s blood renewal occurs later, it means a girl will be born, and if a man’s, it means a boy will be born. When calculating, it is necessary to take into account possible surgical operations, trauma with large blood loss or donation. All this will contribute to unscheduled blood renewal.

You can check the method using an example. If a woman was 30 years old at the time of conception, it means that her blood was renewed at last time at 28 years old, that is 2 years ago. The man's age is 34 years. His blood was last renewed at the age of 33, that is, 1 year ago. In this case, the male blood is fresher, which means the couple will have a boy.

Who will be a boy or a girl: blood type table

The following system for determining sex is based on the blood type of the parents. It is not 100% reliable, but it is quite popular among expectant mothers and fathers.

You can predict the gender of the child at the planning stage, before pregnancy occurs. Who will be a boy or a girl can be calculated by knowing the blood type of the mother and father. At the intersection of the two indicated values, the answer to the question is found.

Numerology

The science of numerology is used to determine the sex of a child. To calculate whether it will be a boy or a girl, you need to convert all the letters into numbers using the following table.

Numerological table for determining the gender of a child

1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9
A	B	IN	G	D	E	Yo	AND	Z
AND	Y	TO	L	M	N	ABOUT	P	R
WITH	T	U	F	X	C	H	SCH	SCH
b	Y	Kommersant	E	YU	I

According to the data in the numerology table, it is necessary to make appropriate calculations to determine the gender of the child. To do this, you need to know the surname and full name of the baby's father, the maiden name and full name of the mother, and the month of conception. Using the table, all letters in words are transformed into numbers, added and divided by 7. Based on the resulting number, the sex of the child is determined. If the result is even number, this means that there will be a girl, and if the number is odd, then we should expect the birth of a boy.

How to find out who will be a boy or a girl? Let's look at an example of calculations.

Last name and full name of the father: Kuzin Sergey - 3+3+9+1+6+1+6+9+4+6+2=50

Mother's maiden name and first name: Book of Eugene - 3+6+1+4+1+6+3+4+6+6+1+6=47

Month of conception: February - 4+6+3+1+4+1=19

Calculation of results: 50+47+19=116.

Divide the resulting number by 7: 116/7=16.57. We discard the numbers after the decimal point and the result is the number 16. This means that the couple is expecting the birth of a girl.

Fortune telling with a ring

Fortune telling to determine the sex of the unborn baby is no less popular among pregnant women. One of them is based on the use of a wedding ring (namely a wedding ring and no other). By the way the ring suspended on a string moves, you can find out who will be a girl or a boy.

Who the child will be and what gender will be born can be found out using this method as follows:

1. Remove from ring finger right hand wedding ring and tie a thick thread about 30 cm long to it.
2. A pregnant woman needs to take a horizontal position.
3. Take a pendulum made of thread and a ring and hold it over the pregnant woman’s belly for 30 seconds.
4. If the pendulum moves back and forth, this means that the woman will give birth to a girl. If the pendulum moves in a circular motion, the pregnant woman should prepare for the birth of her son.

Folk signs

Pregnant women always come across folk methods for determining gender, regardless of whether they are interested in them themselves or some kind neighbor inadvertently tells them. A variety of signs are associated with gender determination.

You can tell who will be a boy or a girl by the following signs:

• if the expectant mother wants sweets, this means that she has a daughter under her heart, and if she craves sour things, then most likely a son will be born;
• if the expectant mother always wants to sleep, then a girl will be born, but if, on the contrary, she is full of strength and energy, then we should expect the birth of a boy;
• if, when looking at a pregnant woman from behind, you can clearly see her waist, it means she is having a boy;
• boys in their mother’s belly usually behave more actively than girls;
• when carrying a girl, women more often develop acne, stretch marks on the skin, and nails become brittle;
• if the belly has the shape of a circle, then there will be a girl, and his tummy is sharp, then it will be a boy.

Despite the effectiveness of many of the methods presented, you should not trust them 100%, because the gender of the child can only be known for sure in the maternity hospital.

All folk signs can be divided into:

1. signs associated with conception;
2. signs characterizing the appearance and behavior of a pregnant woman;
3. signs that allow you to determine the sex of the unborn baby based on the contours and size of the pregnant woman’s abdomen;
4. signs associated with the future father;
5. alternative methods of determining gender using improvised means (ring, needle, key).

Signs associated with conception

The first group includes the following signs:

• in the case when conception occurred on the expected day of ovulation or after it, there will be a boy, and if before it, expect a girl;
• a married couple actively and daily indulges in love pleasures - prepare a pink ribbon, and if with a break of 2-3 days, you will need a blue one;
• the couple managed to register their union to the delight of their parents - there is reason to expect the appearance of a princess, but if the young continue to live in civil marriage– you need to prepare for the appearance of an heir;
• if a man was more active on the day of conception, then a girl will be born, but vice versa - a boy;
• a man loves his wife more - expect a boy, and if the wife adores her husband - stock up on pink undershirts;
• if a woman has an orgasm during conception, it will most likely be a boy;
• To conceive a boy, it is recommended to follow a special diet, the basis of which is meat and fish products, potatoes, rice, oranges, and apricots. Eating dairy products, eggs, and plenty of vegetables and fruits (apples, pears, strawberries) significantly increases the chances of having a girl.

Determining the sex of the unborn child by the behavior of the pregnant woman

For centuries, people have been observing the behavior of pregnant women and, as a result, a kind of folk “code of a pregnant woman” has been developed, allowing even early stages pregnancy to predict the gender of the unborn baby:

• if the expectant mother experiences the hardships of severe toxicosis, then this indicates the birth in her womb of the life of a creature opposite to her in gender;
• new black hairs appear on the face, arms or legs of a pregnant woman - for the birth of a boy;
• the pregnant woman has become prettier, her facial skin has cleared and become elastic, and her hair has acquired an amazing shine - the wait will end with the birth of a tomboy;
• A pregnant woman's feet get cold a little more often than before pregnancy - a boy will be born. If the expectant mother periodically experiences hot flashes and suffers from fever, expect a girl;
• the areolas of the nipples have darkened, and the breasts themselves have become very engorged - they are pregnant with a boy;
• a woman prefers to sleep on her left side - the family will be replenished with a boy, but if she regularly “sleeps” on the right, a girl will be born;
• Pregnant women carrying a boy under their hearts have a stronger appetite than those pregnant with a girl. In addition, mothers of boys prefer salty and sour foods, enjoy eating dairy products and meat. Mothers of girls cannot boast of an excellent appetite and choose sweets, desserts and pastries.
• the urine of pregnant women with a girl is straw-colored and lighter than that of pregnant women with a boy;
• If a woman gains a lot of weight during pregnancy, then this is due to the birth of a boy. A woman carrying a girl in her tummy is distinguished by her grace and smoothness of movement, in contrast to the one who is carrying a male fetus - she becomes clumsy, clumsy, and often stumbles;
• a pregnant woman is in a good and even mood - a boy will be born, but if she has become irritable and demanding - expect a girl;
• while eating, the pregnant woman chooses a bread crumb and flatly refuses the crust - prepare bows;
• if a pregnant woman stubbornly gets up on her left leg in the morning, then she is a potential candidate for a boy’s mother;
• when a woman in interesting position, they ask to show their hands, and she holds out her palms - for the birth of a girl, and if she shows the back side, she will give birth to a boy;
• frequent headaches during pregnancy to the birth of a boy.

Diagnosis of the sex of the fetus from the belly of a pregnant woman

According to the shape of the belly expectant mother can be successfully determined will be:

• A pregnant woman's belly is sharp and protruding - for the birth of a boy. If the tummy is round, wide and low - expect a girl;
• the belly is not visible from the back - you will be a tomboy, but if a woman has gained a lot of weight during pregnancy and has “blurred” around the hips and waist - you will be cradling a princess;
• stomach sticks out right side, and the conventional line from the navel to the pubis is shifted to the right, then get ready for the appearance of a boy. On the contrary, when the stomach is “shifted” to the left, a girl will be born;
• The heart rate of a male fetus usually does not exceed 140 beats/min, while a developing girl has a heart rate of 140 beats/min. (sometimes more);
• the baby in mom's tummy is acting up and hitting mom on the right side (on the liver) - it's a girl, and if on the left (on the bladder) - it's a boy.

The appearance and behavior of the father are the most important criteria in determining the gender of the belly-dweller

The gender of his future children directly depends on the appearance and preferences of the future father:

• the father of the unborn child cannot boast of luxurious hair (bald) - the couple will have a boy;
• future dad prefers tight underwear, and not loose wrestling shoes or banal “family panties” - will cherish his daughter;
• if a man loves steam rooms, is overworked at work or often experiences stress, then in exactly 9 months he will be “convicted” of male inability to conceive an heir.

Alternative Methods

You can try to determine the sex of the baby using a pendulum, a key and wheat:

• to create a plumb line, take a thread with a needle or wedding ring tied at the end and hold it vertically over the pregnant belly. A ring or needle makes circles - to a female belly, swings - you will buy construction sets and cars;
• In ancient times, midwives watered wheat and barley with the urine of a pregnant woman. If wheat sprouts were the first to peck, then the birth of a girl was predicted, and if barley sprouts appeared, it would be a boy;
• Place a large key on the table and offer the pregnant woman to take it: if she takes it by the ring, she wears it under her heart; if she takes it by the long part, a girl will be born.

It is clear that it is not very important for future parents to know the gender of their child before birth, because they will love both a boy and a girl. And we are all educated people and we know that the sex of the child depends only on which sperm turns out to be faster - the carrier of the X or Y chromosome. But the process of fortune telling is so fascinating that not only in the first, but even in the second, and even in the fifth pregnancy, we will “try on” all the folk signs on our cute pregnant belly...

“The queen gave birth in the night, either a son or a daughter...” As soon as two test strips appear, following the surging feelings, the woman begins to be tormented by the question: who lives in the “house”? Boy or girl? It's funny and cute for parents to tell fortunes; this exciting game is interesting for close relatives, friends and neighbors.

Medicine of the twenty-first century can, starting from the 15th-16th week, quite accurately determine the sex of the unborn baby. Although at such a young age, due to the location of the embryo, it is difficult to predict what “dignity” is hidden in it, so mistakes are possible: then the fetus will turn its back and, embarrassed, does not want to “open”; either the child will tightly cross his legs, then the girl will experience swelling of the labia and the place will look like a scrotum... In general, there are many subtleties in this matter, and the doctor may make a mistake. In the second trimester, examination (screening) at 22-24 weeks can confirm or refute the assumption. At this time, the fetus becomes more mobile; with a certain persistence, the sensor of the ultrasound device can find the correct angle of the image and find out the sex of the future baby. The same thing will happen in the third trimester.

Determining the sex of twins is much more difficult. Although the timing of the appearance of the genital organs is the same, from the 10th to the 15th week, the chances of hiding them are much greater. Opposite-sex embryos are easier to identify: a boy and a girl, while same-sex embryos for some reason always hide behind each other.

Who and when determines the sex of the unborn baby?

A boy or girl is “programmed” by the future father at the time of conception. It is a well-known fact that chromosome set There are 23 pairs of human chromosomes - 46 chromosomes. Twenty-two of them are the same, but the 23rd may be different. In women it is the XX chromosome, and in men it is the XY chromosome. Cell nuclei human body contain 46 chromosomes, 23 of which are inherited from the mother, and the other 23 from the father. The nucleus of a female egg consistently has 23 identical chromosomes, and the sperm is of two types: one carries the X chromosome in a set, and the other carries the Y type. In the first case, after fertilization, a girl will be born, and in the second, a boy.

How to reveal the secret behind seven seals

Before finding out who will be a girl or a boy, scientifically using ultrasound, numerous folk signs are used.

“Grandma said something in two, guessed something…” Someone believes folk fortune telling, and someone treats them condescendingly, as just another form of entertainment. But these predictions always come true: sometimes exactly, and sometimes on the contrary, with the opposite result. The following method is considered the most entertaining way. We outline a sheet of paper with a dividing line in half. We write down fortune telling with the result “girl” in one column, and “boy” in the other. We divide both results by the number of “guessing queries”, and the largest percentage will show us the preferred result.

Classification will accept

Folk guessing games can be easily divided into:

1. Signs that are associated with the process of conception itself;
2. Signs that characterize appearance and behavior expectant mother;
3. Determining the sex of the unborn baby based on the contours and proportions of the abdomen;
4. Signs that are associated with the behavior and appearance of the future father;
5. An alternative technique involving the use of improvised means: needles, rings, keys, etc.)

Conception

The first group of signs includes statements:

• If this mysterious act of love occurred before the day of ovulation, then we must expect a girl, and if conception happened on the expected day of release of the egg or after it, we must expect a boy. This thesis is often confirmed by doctors, since the sperm with the Y chromosome is more mobile, but does not live long, while its counterpart with the X chromosome is slower, but survives longer.
• If your couple actively and daily loves to indulge in pleasures, then you can count on pink vests, and if the breaks in this activity last for 2 or 3 days, then on blue ones. Doctors just smile mysteriously about this.
• If during the process of conception the partner was more active, then we come up with a name for the girl, and if vice versa, for the boy;
• Who loves whom more? Signs say that if a husband adores his wife more, then boys are born more often; if a wife idolizes her betrothed, then girls are born.
• If at the moment of conception a woman relaxed and experienced a powerful, enchanting orgasm, then, most likely, a little protector will be born;
• Grandmothers may recommend using a diet to conceive a boy. Its diet presupposes a predominance of meat and fish products, rice, potatoes, apricots and oranges.
• For the birth of a girl, healers will recommend dairy dishes, eggs, a predominance of vegetables and fruits (apples, pears, strawberries, etc.). The chances of giving birth to your mother's assistant will increase significantly.

Behavior of the expectant mother

Centuries of experience in observing the habits of pregnant women of different times and peoples became the basis for the creation of the “code”:

• Severe toxicosis indicates the conception of a male baby, this is confirmed by doctors.
• Visible black hairs appear on the arms, face or legs - endocrinologists also confirm - most likely, a boy will appear.
• If the expectant mother has become prettier, cleansed and has acquired elastic skin tone, her hair radiates amazing health and shine - we are expecting a tomboy.
• If a pregnant woman’s limbs freeze more often than before conception, we are waiting for a boy. Pregnant woman suffering from hot flashes? Most likely he is expecting a girl.
• The areolas (circles) near the nipples have darkened significantly, and the breasts have greatly enlarged and “filled up” - the pregnancy will end with the birth of a boy.
• A pregnant woman sleeps on her left side - towards the boy, and on her right - towards the girl.
• When pregnant with a girl, the urine is predominantly light straw in color, while when pregnant with a boy, it is usually a darker shade.
• By always getting up in the morning on her left leg, the pregnant woman will give birth to a boy. Stretching out his hands, he shows the back of them - to the boy, and shows his palms - let him prepare the bows. Rise from a sitting position on the floor and lean on left hand- carries a boy.
• If you have a headache quite often, you will have a baby boy.

Belly shape

Despite scientific methods, doctors also sometimes like to tell fortunes:

• A protruding sharp belly like a “cucumber”, which is practically invisible from the back - to the boy. A wide, round and low pumpkin belly is for a girl.
• A pregnant woman’s belly is visually more “shifted” to the right side and the axis on the line of the navel and pubis is also located to the right of the center of the abdomen - a tomboy will be born. If all the signs are to the left, we will cradle the princess.
• In boys, the heart rate is 140 beats per minute, and in girls - 126.
• If, during an ultrasound examination, the fetus is turned sideways towards the device and its organs are not visible, experienced midwives will carefully look at the mouth: if it is open, then it is a girl. Girls “chat” even in their mother’s tummy.
• Is the baby kicking and pushing, acting up in his mother’s belly? If the blows hit the liver (on the right side) - a girl, the bladder, closer to the left - a boy.

• Thread a light thread through a wedding ring, needle or other pendulum. Sit on a horizontal surface and hold a plumb line vertically above your tummy. A ring or needle describes a circle - predicts the birth of a daughter, swings in a straight line - you will delight your baby with construction toys and cars.
• If a pregnant woman takes a large key on the table by the ring, an heir to fishing rods and a future football player will be born; by the base of the key (the long part) - to her mother’s assistant.
• Counting by update vital energy- blood of father and mother. For women it is updated every three years, for men – once every four years. Surgeries, childbirth or blood donation renew the blood regardless of the schedule. To a woman’s date of birth we add a number that is a multiple of three, for a man – a multiple of four. If an unexpected update occurred during this time, we begin the countdown from there. We stop at the date of conception. Whichever blood turned out to be “fresh” will determine the sex the child will have.
• The age of the expectant mother. Determine how old mom is full years. Then remember the date of conception (approximate month).

Father, his appearance and behavior

• Are bald people more likely to have boys? However, they say that this is so.
• If a man often experiences stressful situations, is a workaholic, loves steam rooms, wears tight underwear - let him get ready to cherish his daughter. Doctors say that these factors negatively affect sperm motility, which is why they are dominated exclusively by XX “girl” chromosomes.

Alternative fortune telling

If the mother is an even number of years, then in the “odd” months of conception she will have boys (in January, March, May, and so on). And in the remaining months - girls.

If the mother has an “odd” age, then the heirs should be expected in the “even” months of conception.

The question “who will be born a boy or a girl?” always arises among parents. Even though there is a large number of There are various definitions and signs, not everyone believes in them.

• Preference for sour and salty foods;
• The first period of pregnancy passes without toxicosis;
• The abdomen takes on a rounded shape;
• The belly is located slightly lower and protrudes forward;
• Preference for dairy products;
• During pregnancy, a woman looks much better than usual;
• Frequent headaches;
• The wedding ring hanging on a thread, above the stomach, begins to spin;
• Weight is gaining rapidly.

Waiting for a girl:

• The breasts are greatly enlarged;
• Separate the bread crust from the pulp and do not eat it;
• Preference for sweets and fruits;
• The left breast is slightly larger than the right;
• In the first trimester, morning sickness is a concern;
• Hair takes on a reddish tint;
• The mood is changeable, sometimes moody, but often bad;
• The skin is dry and tight.

It is very difficult to wait for the results of the most accurate existing methods gender determination - ultrasound examination, and very often the baby hides, leaving no way to determine its gender. There are also cases when the ultrasound showed a boy, but a girl was born, or vice versa. That's why curious adults use various fortune telling, signs and other old traditional methods determining the sex of the baby, various fortune-telling systems.

First, let's look at the most reliable (from a scientific point of view) methods for determining the sex of a future child.

Ultrasound examination (ultrasound)

Today it can reasonably be considered the most popular and reliable method. Using a special device, an image of the baby is displayed on the screen, by looking at which an experienced doctor, starting from the 12th week, can guess who the future parents should expect - a boy or a girl.

However, this method also has disadvantages. Often the baby hides and it is impossible to know whether it is a boy or a girl.

Determining the sex of a child by ovulation.

If it is not possible to determine the sex of the baby by ultrasound, some doctors advise expectant mothers to use the method of determining the sex of the child by ovulation. Its essence is that when planning the gender of the unborn baby, a woman should be attentive to her cycle. There is a theory according to which one can trace the relationship between who is born more - boys or girls - during a woman’s ovulation. Statistics show that among boys born, most of them were conceived exactly on the day of ovulation or some time after it. Accordingly, if conception occurred before ovulation, then the likelihood of a girl is greater.

How can we explain why more boys are born than girls on this day? The fact is that they are responsible for the sex of the child male sperm, which are divided into two types:

• XX set of chromosomes (when combined with an egg, a female fetus is obtained);
• XY is a set of chromosomes (when combined with an egg, a male fetus is obtained).

Y chromosomes move much faster and reach the egg, and also live in acidic environment vagina for no more than 48 hours. And the X chromosomes are much slower, but more tenacious in an acidic environment. If a couple wants to conceive an heir, they should plan sexual intercourse directly on the day of ovulation or 2-3 days after it; it is advisable for the woman to experience an orgasm so that the acidity of the environment changes. When planning a baby, you should do the opposite.

To answer the question about the baby’s future sex using this method, you need to know exactly the day of your ovulation. At irregular cycle or if you want to know this day 100%, you can purchase special tests to determine ovulation at the pharmacy. This method is scientifically based, however, it is not guaranteed to be correct; rather, it simply increases the chances of conceiving a child of the desired sex.

Determining the sex of a child using DNA analysis

Determined by identifying the X or Y chromosome when laboratory research maternal venous blood. A fairly expensive method (8-10 thousand rubles), but reliable. Its accuracy is 99%, taking into account that the gestational age is at least 7-8 weeks.

Amniocentesis and cordocentesis as methods of sex determination

These methods are intended to secondary determine the gender of the child, as they are intended mainly to identify any abnormalities in the child. The essence of amniocentesis is to take a puncture of the amniotic membrane to obtain amniotic fluid. Cordocentesis involves taking cord blood. As you can see, these methods are a direct and serious intervention in the body of a woman and child, therefore, you should not do them out of simple curiosity.

Determining sex by parent's blood type

One of the ways to plan the sex of a baby is to analyze the dependence of the child’s sex on the blood type of the parents.

Pregnant women with blood group I are more likely to give birth to an heir from a man with II and IV, and a girl from I and III.

Women with blood group II can conceive a boy with a partner of group I and III, and a girl with group II and IV.

Owners Group III will give birth to a boy from a partner of any group except I.

Having group IV, there is a high probability of giving birth to a boy from a man of all groups except II.

There is also a relationship between the Rhesus of the parents. If parents have the same Rhesus, the likelihood of having a girl is higher. At different rhesus- boy.

Determination by Rh factor

Determining the sex of a child by heartbeat

One theory for determining sex is heart rate. The baby's heart begins to beat 20 days after conception. At almost every appointment with a gynecologist, a pregnant woman undergoes a procedure such as auscultation. The doctor uses a special tube or phonendoscope to listen and evaluate the fetal heartbeat. Many doctors have noticed that the heart rate of girls is 140-150 beats per minute, while in boys this figure is approximately 120 beats. The tone of the heartbeat of future daughters and sons also varies - in girls it is quieter and more muffled, in boys it is clear and loud. This difference is explained by the fact that men’s hearts are more powerful and resilient, contracting much more rhythmically and more clearly.

This method causes a lot of controversy among gynecologists, however, at a time when ultrasound did not yet exist, it was the most popular and effective.

Chinese table for determining the gender of a child

It should be taken into account that the Chinese consider the age of the mother differently from the Europeans. If the inhabitants of the planet count age from the moment of birth, then the Chinese count from the moment of conception. Residents of China believe that the most favorable age for conceiving a boy is the month of July, and the mother’s age should be 18, 20, 30, 42. Favorable month To conceive a girl it is April and the mother must be aged 21, 22, 29 years.

According to legend, this Chinese table was found in the tomb of the emperor, up to 700 years old. All indications are based on the period of conception and the age of the mother at that time. Although the data in the table coincides with the result by 90%, you should not rely on the results; there are always exceptions.

Fortune telling about the gender of the child

Fortune telling about the sex of a child began a long time ago, back in Ancient Egypt. Residents planted wheat and barley seeds. They poured the urine of a pregnant woman on her. If barley sprouts were visible first, then it was believed that a boy should be expected, and if wheat, then a girl. But this is not the only fortune telling that the Egyptians resorted to. When a pregnant girl or woman extended her hands with her palms up, it was a girl, but with her palms down, it was a boy.

You can guess the sex of the child by looking at the gait, appearance, shape of the abdomen and the state of health of the pregnant woman. Very often in numerology, a special table is used for fortune telling and answering the question “who will be born a boy or a girl?” Each letter is assigned a specific number:

1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9
A	B	IN	G	D	E	Yo	AND	Z
AND	Y	TO	L	M	N	ABOUT	P	R
WITH	T	U	F	X	C	H	Sh	SCH
Kommersant	Y	b	E	YU	I	-	-	-

It is necessary to write down the month the child was conceived and full names parents, assigning a certain number to each letter. For example:

1. Sidorov Ivan (1+1+5+7+9+7+3+1+3+1+6) = 42
2. Kikh Irina (3+1+5+1+9+1+6+1) = 27
3. March (5+1+9+2) = 17

All the collected amounts are added up, and you get one total number– 86. The result must be divided by 7. The result is 12.28. This number is used to determine the sex of the baby; an even number is a girl, an odd number is a boy.

Fortune telling with stones

There are pieces of paper attached to several stones on which female and male names are written. You need to pay attention to the leaf that is the first to begin to peel off from the stone. The name written on it will indicate the gender of the child.

Fortune telling with water

A vessel (cup, glass or shot glass) is required. Before going to bed, the vessel is filled with water and a ring is placed inside. The container must be exposed to the cold. Then, when the water freezes, carefully examine the surface of the water. If there are more tubercles - a boy, more depressions - girls. The number can also indicate the number of children.

It is the doctor who will be able to accurately determine the gender of the long-awaited child. Well, if curiosity is off the scale, then you can go through the series various methods definitions: folk methods, predictions, fortune telling and many others.

Instructions

The appetite of the expectant mother is an excellent indicator for determining the sex of the child. It is believed that when carrying a boy, women eat more to give strength to the future hero. Preference is given to meat, salty or sour dishes. Pregnant girls tend to eat less, choosing sweet foods and fruits. It is worth paying attention to how you eat bread. If he starts with the top, then he waits for his son, and if he tears off the crumb, he waits for his daughter.

Severe toxicosis indicates that he is a boy. During pregnancy, it is easier and calmer, and toxicosis either does not hurt at all or quickly stops. This is explained by the fact that male hormones upset the balance in female body, and he develops something like an “allergy”.

Overall appearance can also indicate the future gender of the child. It is believed that the little girl takes away the beauty of her mother, and the pregnant woman looks worse than before pregnancy. Hair becomes dull, skin color deteriorates, and acne may appear on the face. This is due to the fact that the daughter takes female hormones from her mother’s body and this worsens her metabolism. And while bearing a boy, women seem to blossom and become more beautiful every day: their hair becomes thick and shiny, their skin is clean and smooth. However, pregnancy with a boy is often accompanied by dry skin on the hands. But future mothers of girls do not face such a problem. A light halo of the nipples foreshadows the appearance of a son, a darkened one - a daughter.

Pay attention to your legs - during pregnancy with a boy, more hair grows on them, they are colder than usual and swell more. With girls, everything remains at the same level and no changes are observed.

The mother's behavior and changes in her character can help predict the sex of the child. Capricious, emotional and easily irritated women are more likely to have daughters. And calm and balanced women carry a son under their hearts.

The mother's well-being greatly depends on the baby in her tummy. Boys charge a woman with energy, she becomes more active, she can’t sit still and wants to do something all the time. But girls take all their strength, causing drowsiness, slowness and a desire to lie in bed longer.

While carrying a daughter, women retain their gracefulness, but with a son, their gait changes and becomes awkward. More often they stumble, crash into furniture, jambs and ledges, so you should be careful.

If you ask a pregnant woman to show her hands, the expecting girl will most likely turn her palms up. And if instead he shows his hands with the back of his hand, then he is waiting for a boy.

The shape of the abdomen may also differ depending on the gender of the child. Girls usually hide in a wide, melon-like belly that bulges out to the sides. And boys are in a round and neat tummy, similar to soccer ball. It is also worth paying attention to which direction the top of the abdomen is facing: if to the right, you should prepare for your son, and if to the left, for your daughter.

The date of conception can tell the gender of the child, or more precisely, how much time remains before ovulation. If sexual intercourse occurs on the same day as ovulation, then there is a high probability of conceiving a boy. You can conceive a girl a couple of days before ovulation. There is an easier way - compare the mother's age and the year of conception. If both numbers are even, then there will be a girl, if one of the numbers is odd, then it will be a boy.

The baby's behavior inside the belly says a lot. Girls are calmer, but boys often move, kick, and show character in other ways. Moreover, most often they push in the area Bladder, and girls - in the liver or ribs.

A simple fortune telling can reveal the gender of the child. To do this you will need a needle and white thread. holding right hand the tip of the thread should be placed directly above the left hand, opening it with the palm facing up. Between the index and thumb you need to lower the needle three times and then place it a centimeter above your palm. If the needle starts spinning, it means there is a girl in the stomach, if it starts walking from side to side, it means a boy. In some versions of fortune telling, you need to hold the needle directly above your stomach.

Fortune telling with a key is even simpler, but according to reviews it is not so reliable. It is enough to place one key in front of the pregnant woman, without a ring or ring, and ask her to take it. If he takes it by the long and narrow part, it means he is expecting a girl; if he takes it by the round part, he is expecting a boy.

Other children can tell the gender of the child by their behavior, because they feel such things very subtly. It is believed that if a boy who has just learned to walk hovers around a pregnant woman, it means she is carrying a baby under her heart. If he ignores her presence, then she is expecting a son. Remember your oldest child's first word, if you have one, and it will indicate the gender of the child. “Mom” is a girl, “dad” is a boy.

The behavior and attitudes of parents can program a certain gender of the child. Active sex life before conceiving a child increases the chances of getting a girl, and if you wait for a pause, you will have a boy. If a dad prefers tight-fitting underwear, he will most likely get a boy, and a family lover will most likely get a girl. Think about who in a couple loves their spouse more? If a wife loves her husband more than he loves her, then they will have a daughter, and if on the contrary, they will have a son.

Ultrasound is the most exact way find out the sex of the child before he is born. From 14-16 weeks you will be able to see who you are expecting if the baby does not cover himself with his hands. But even such a study does not guarantee the accuracy of the results. Therefore, it will be possible to find out the sex of the child only after birth, only then can you be sure that the information is reliable.
