Baby Gender Prediction - Right Or Wrong?

Baby gender prediction can be tricky but overall the odds are about 50/50 for having a boy or a girl so it's anyone's guess

. Scientifically speaking, the female eggs contain only the X chromosome while the male sperm can have either the X or Y chromosome.

Fertilization of the egg by sperm containing a Y chromosome results in the conception of a son. Fertilization by an X chromosome means a daughter is conceived. There are several ways couples can naturally determine baby gender.

Sex Position

The sex position used when conception occurs can be used to predict baby gender. Cowgirl style position is where the woman is on top of the man allowing for deep penetration and optimum chance for the Y chromosome sperm to fertilize the egg resulting in a boy.

Plough sex style is like the missionary position with the man on top except the woman's knees rest over the man's shoulder. The idea behind this is deep penetration giving the sperm with the Y chromosome an advantage.

Shettles Method

Ovulation kits are helpful when using the Shettles method to determine baby gender. The idea behind this method is that sperm containing the Y chromosome swim faster than sperm containing the X chromosome. Intercourse before ovulation increases the likelihood of having a girl while intercourse during ovulation more than likely will result in the conception of a boy. For couples wanting to get pregnant right away, this is not a good method because intercourse is limited to specific times based on ovulation.

Whelan Method

The Whelan Method to determine baby gender is based on timing intercourse according to the woman's basal temperature. Conceiving a boy requires having intercourse 4-6 days before the basal temperature rises. Conceiving a girl requires having intercourse 2-3 days before ovulation.

Chinese Conception Chart

The Chinese conception chart is said to have been discovered in a tomb and is supposed to be over 7 centuries old. The chart is based on the mother's lunar age at the time of conception and the month of conception. The lunar age is based on 29 day months. The Chinese gender prediction chart allows hopeful parents to plug in dates and ages to determine the sex of the baby.

Diet

Controlling diet is another way to choose the sex of your baby. Conceiving boys requires eating foods with high pH levels since sperm carrying the X chromosome do not thrive as well in acidic conditions. Foods rich in calcium and magnesium should also be eaten. Conceiving girls requires a more alkaline environment and this means eating foods with lower pH levels. Also the diet should be rich in sodium and potassium.

Is It Just Coincidence?

Many swear that a baby gender prediction can be predetermined by one method or another. According to science, the only sure way to predict baby gender is by artificial insemination. But today research shows that there are new way to predict the gender of your baby naturally.
