Traditional Methods To The Ultrasound Predict
Is it a boy or a girl? This is the one million dollars question for many parents,how to predict baby gender from tradional method to ultrasound especially for those who are interested in determining their baby gender. In the past there were various methods to predict baby gender. Of course they became less relevant with the arrival of the ultrasound which enables in a close to 100% accuracy to know if you are going paint the room pink or blue. Yet you should know that the ultrasound can be used to predict your baby gender starting from the 16th week.Baby gender is determined at the moment the sperm cell meets the egg. However, it does not mean we can know (or in the case of the ultrasound, see) what nature has decided for us. We can differentiate between a male and a female by observing the penis and scrotum (the bag that hold the testicles) in the baby boy and the genital lips in the baby girl. That can only be done starting from around the 16th week. In addition, you have to bear in mind that sometimes the penis is hidden, so only on the 20th week, you will be able to predict your baby gender accurately.
Traditional Methods to Predict Baby Gender
You can’t wait till you reach the 16th week? It is quite understandable. I could not wait as well in all of my pregnancies. I truly sympathize with the strong desire to know if it’s a boy or a girl, but the best I can do is to offer you some traditional methods that were invented by our foremothers and foremothers to predict baby gender.It’s All a Matter of Incline
My late grandmother used to say that it’s all a matter of how your belly is inclined. If it bends upwards – it is a girl. Alternatively, if it bends downwards, then it is a boy. What does it mean? Are boys heavier then girl? I can’t tell. I only know it worked for me. In my first and second pregnancy, my belly inclined downwards and I gave birth to baby boys. My third pregnancy resulted in a girl and the belly was a little higher.
What You Like to EatIt is widely believed that if you have an uncontrolled craving for sweet food, you have a girl. If you desire salty or sour foods, it is a boy. I must say I have a constant craving for all that is sweet, no matter if I am pregnant or not.
Follow Your Heart
Next time you go to your doctor for a routine examination, pay close attention to your fetus’ heart beat. It is said that if its heart rate is higher than 140, it’s a girl and if it’s lower than 140, it’s a boy.
What does medical science have to say about it? The fetus’ heart beat changes all the time during your pregnancy. It also depends on what you eat. If you eat foods that contain high levels of sugar, the fetus will become more active, and so its heart rate will change accordingly. Nevertheless, research has shown that during birth, the female fetus’ heart rate tends to be a little higher.
The Wedding Ring Method
This is my favorite method. According to it, you have to tie your wedding ring to a thin cord and hand it over your belly. If the ring moves in circles, it’s a boy. If it moves back and forward, it’s a girl.
The Chinese Method
Unlike Western medicine, Chinese medicine gives the mother predominance in determining baby gender. If it is a boy or a girl depends on the exact moment when the mother becomes pregnant. The Chinese have a special gender chart to predict baby gender ( according to legend, it was found in an ancient tomb ). I never used this chart before since I tend to rely more on Western Medicine than on any other medicine. Yet it is said that one billion Chinese can’t go wrong and you can’t argue with that.You can see some of the other methods that could be a reference in determine the gender of your baby
