Most women, as soon as they find out that pregnancy has come, they want to quickly find out who will be born - a boy or a girl. You can be patient and wait until the time comes for a planned ultrasound at 20 weeks, then you can find out with a greater degree of probability who will be born. But 100% even ultrasound will not be able to give an accurate answer. How to find out the sex of the child in the early stages?
In the first trimester, future mothers already want to know the sex of the child in order to prepare everything in advance, from the stroller and crib to baby clothes. Of course, you can go to the store and with great pleasure buy a lot of children's clothes in a neutral color. But when attention is drawn to tiny bodysuits and sliders of a pale blue hue or cute little dresses with lace, you want to find out as soon as possible who will be born. You can determine the sex of the child at an early date using various methods.
Folk signs of determining the sex of a child in the early stages
From year to year, for centuries, people have watched the state of a woman in position. According to external signs, behavior and well-being, a certain opinion was formed regarding the sex of the baby. These skills have been passed down from generation to generation, and we can try to determine who will be born to a woman even before an ultrasound can be done.
Girl or boy?
If we believe our ancestors, then according to their observation, we can draw the following conclusion: if parents are over 30 years old, then girls are born more often. Also affects this indicator and the frequency of proximity. If a man did not have an active sexual life before conception, then a girl will be born, and if there was no abstinence, a boy. Scientists also support this theory of ancestors, because “male” spermatozoa quickly die in semen, while “female”, on the contrary, survive. Therefore, if a man has not had sex for a long time and conception occurred at this time, then there is a high probability that a girl will be born.
What is the probability that a girl will be born
You can determine the sex of the crumbs by the appearance of the pregnant woman. If a woman retains grace, and her body does not begin to blur from the first weeks of pregnancy, a girl will be born. But along with grace, a woman may appear external signs: the face will begin to swell, the lips will increase, dark spots will appear on the skin. According to these signs, we can say that a girl will be born, because she “takes away” beauty from her mother.
You can also find out the sex of the child at an early date by the state of health of the woman. If she is often tormented by toxicosis in the morning, her mood is constantly changing (tantrums, whims, tears for no reason), then we can assume that a daughter will be born.
If a woman constantly wants to eat a lot of fruits, vegetables, sweets and dairy, then you can buy pink things.
And yet, you can find out the sex of the baby by stirring. If a woman felt the first movement in the left side of her abdomen, then there will be a daughter. Is this so - other, more accurate methods for determining the sex of the crumbs will prompt.
What is the probability that a boy will be born
- from ancient times it was evident that young women would have their first male child;
- if before conception the sex of the spouses was regular (after 2-3 days);
- a woman blossomed during pregnancy, became more beautiful;
- hair appeared on the legs and abdomen;
- a pregnant woman's legs are constantly cold;
- no toxicosis, pregnancy is easily tolerated;
- a woman eats a lot, she is drawn to salty, spicy, fatty foods, she wants to eat a lot of meat and bananas;
- the first movement is in the right side of the abdomen;
- the boy's heartbeat will be less than that of the girl - up to 140 beats per minute;
- if the period between 1 and 2 pregnancies is small and the first was a girl, then a son will be born.
Future parents should remember that the expectation and birth of a baby is a great joy and what gender the child will be born is not so important, the main thing is that the baby is healthy. Well, this last sign will make future fathers think: men want a son more, and when a daughter is born, they give her all their love. This is due to the fact that the growing daughter becomes like her mother in her youth. So if you find out that your wife is carrying a daughter, do not be upset ahead of time, because a child is a great happiness.
The method of determining the sex of a child at an early stage by blood is also common. It is known that female blood is renewed every 3 years, and male - 4. If a woman has a negative blood group, then the blood is renewed every 4 years. Whose blood will be younger at the time of conception, we should expect a child of this gender. For example, if a woman's blood is renewed first, a daughter will be born, if a man has a son. In women with a negative Rh factor, it is more difficult - here you need to look at the date of birth or use other methods.
By the way, let's consider alternative methods for determining the sex of a child, which were used by our ancestors:
- You need to take a thin silk thread, tie a needle on one side or wedding ring. Hold the thread at the opposite end and hold the ring vertically above the stomach. If the ring (or needle) "draws" a circle, then expect a girl, if it just sways - a boy.
- The midwives, in order to tell the woman who would be born to her, did this: they took the urine of the pregnant woman and watered the barley and wheat planted in the ground. If wheat comes up first, there will be a daughter, barley - a son.
- A key was placed on an empty table and the pregnant woman was offered to take it. If she took by the ring, there will be a girl, for the long part - a boy.
For medical reasons
It also happens when a gynecologist insists that a woman undergo a chorion biopsy procedure. This analysis with 100% accuracy will determine the sex of the child as early as the 7th week of pregnancy. Only one desire of a pregnant woman to make such an examination will not be enough. The procedure is prescribed only by a doctor and in exceptional cases, for example, when there were genetic diseases in the families of the spouses. For these reasons, the birth of a child of a certain sex (hemophilia) may not be possible. Therefore, in order to exclude the threat of abortion and intrauterine pathologies of the fetus, this examination is prescribed, which is carried out by piercing the skin on the abdomen with a thick needle and taking fluid.
How to determine the sex of the child in early pregnancy
The official, affordable and popular method for determining the sex of crumbs at an early stage is ultrasound. The only drawback is that it is impossible to consider the sex differences of the fetus. The result is false, as the doctor may take the girl's enlarged labia for the scrotum or vice versa. So anyway, the expectant mother will have to wait a bit to get a more accurate answer already at 12 weeks. And it may not always be reliable. It happens that the child hides from the ultrasonic sensor and takes such a position that it is not possible to see the genitals. The expectant mother can find out the exact data at a later date - 23-25 weeks of pregnancy, and no doctor gives a 100% guarantee.
When the ultrasound result may be incorrect:
- if the doctor took the fingers of the fetus or the umbilical cord for a penis;
- the fetus compresses the legs and it is impossible to see sex differences.
By the way, the correct method for determining the sex of a child, which, although it does not give a 100% result, most often turns out to be correct, experienced gynecologists determine the sex by his heartbeat. If 140 beats per minute is fixed, a girl will be born, smaller amount- boy. It is also worth noting that during an ultrasound, the doctor pays attention to the development of the fetal organs and draws certain conclusions: for example, boys are slightly ahead of girls in development. But this is also not a 100% certainty that a boy or a girl will be born.
Determination of the sex of the child at an early stage by a blood test
With an accuracy of 99%, you can find out the sex of the child at an early stage if you take a blood test for DNA. A woman, starting from the 6th week of pregnancy, can find out who will be born to her - a girl or a boy.
You can do a test for the sex of the child at an early date in a specialized laboratory. The cost of such a gender analysis is quite high, but if future parents simply need to know the sex of the child (genetic abnormalities), then money will not be a hindrance.
The study can be carried out starting from the 6th week of pregnancy (8th week of obstetric period).
What is the accuracy of the result:
- at a period of 6-8 weeks of pregnancy - 95%;
- 9-10 weeks - 97%;
- from 12 weeks - 99%.
The advantages of the blood test technique are accessibility, since the result can be done at an early date; safety - intervention in the body of a pregnant woman is not required, you just need to take blood from a vein; accuracy - this is a genetic analysis that is performed in a laboratory, as well as efficiency - you can get the result the very next day.
You can donate blood for analysis and find out the sex of the baby already in the first month of pregnancy, since baby cells begin to appear in the blood of a pregnant woman. There are still very few of them, but they are present and only a highly sensitive test and the collection of a large amount of venous blood (this does not affect the well-being and health of the mother and fetus) helps to determine the gender of the child with an accuracy of 99%.
If a woman is carrying a boy, then Y-chromosome markers are found in her blood. X chromosomes are always present in the female body. If the result is negative and Y chromosomes are not detected in the mother's blood, then we should expect the birth of a daughter.
How to prepare for the test and what else you need to know
Immediately you need to be prepared for the fact that the result may be erroneous and not cherish the hope that a child of this particular sex will be born. Lab technicians can make mistakes too, and female body- a complete mystery. After all, various factors can affect the level of chromosomes, ranging from an incorrectly set gestational age, individual characteristics of the body, multiple pregnancies, the age of the woman, the number of pregnancies, etc.
Blood can be donated not on an empty stomach, at any time convenient for a woman. Special training is not required.
On the reliability of the result. If 98% is a "boy", then most likely it will be so, the result can be considered reliable. If “girl”, then you will be recommended to take a second analysis after 2 weeks. In order to be 100% sure that the result is reliable, it is necessary to do 2 analyzes with a break of 2 weeks (minimum 10 days).
It is also possible to determine the sex of a child with multiple pregnancies, but if it turns out that the sex of one of the children is a “boy”, then it is impossible to find out the sex of the rest of the babies. It can be both girls and boys.
How to find out the gender of the baby by urine
Starting from the 6th week, a woman can find out the sex of the baby in the urine. Our great-grandmothers determined who would be born to them in the following way: they took fresh milk and mixed it in equal proportions with urine (when pregnancy had already begun, up to 10 weeks). Then they put the container with the mixture on the fire and waited for it to boil. Next, look at the reaction. If the milk began to curd, then a girl would be born, and if the liquid remained unchanged, an heir was expected to be born. Such a test did not always live up to expectations.
Currently, modern women have the opportunity to undergo several examinations and take a blood and urine test to find out the sex of the baby. One of these tests is sex determination by maternal urine. No need to go to the laboratory to donate venous blood. It is enough to collect urine and do the test yourself, without leaving your home.
"TestPol" is modern method determining the sex of the child, its principle is similar to the test strips for determining pregnancy. Starting from the 7th week of pregnancy, a woman can start the test.
How to make a test:
- collect morning urine in a clean container;
- open the cup with the reagent and pour the required amount of urine (a syringe is included);
- quickly mix the contents in a circular motion;
- now put the container on the table;
- in 5 minutes you will see the result.
You will have to compare the resulting color with the attached table. If you are carrying a boy, then the urine will react with the reagents and turn into a rich dark color, if a daughter is born, the color of the urine will become yellow or orange.
Determination of the sex of the child according to the tables
Future parents care about only one thing - who will be born to them: a son or a daughter. Most spouses do not want to wait a long 9 months. In order not to suffer in guesswork, you can find out the sex of the child using the Chinese or Japanese method.
Chinese table
Scientists still cannot give an unambiguous answer when exactly this table was compiled. It was found in ancient Chinese burials. According to experts, Chinese scientists took the lunar calendar as the basis for this table, according to another theory - it was compiled on the basis of studies of pregnant women.
The table is easy to use: the left column shows the age of the mother (from 18 to 45), and on top is the month in which the conception occurred. Then everything is simple, we find our age and month of conception, connect the lines - we get the sex of the child. The letter "D" means a girl, "M" means a boy.
All Chinese men use only this table. The Beijing Institute of Science claims that this technique indicates the sex of the child with an accuracy of 98%. By the way, this way you can find out not only the sex of the crumbs if the woman is already pregnant, but also when planning conception. You need to select your age in the column, and then subtract 9 months - you will get the date of conception. And now it remains to look at the column "gender of the child" and proceed to action. Wait or you can act - so the spouses will be able to conceive a child of a certain gender.
Japanese table
The method for determining the sex of the unborn child during the onset of pregnancy consists of 2 stages. First you need to get a figure - indicate the date of birth of the mother and the date of birth of the father. For example, we got the number "4". We go down and continue to determine the sex of the crumbs according to the second table. We find our figure and indicate the month of conception. In our case, this is "August" - with a high degree of probability (the maximum number of crosses is 10 pieces) a boy will be born.
Don't rely on this test alone, as the table can be wrong too. The Japanese technique is more suitable for planning the sex of the baby, since you can immediately see the month of conception with a high probability of having a child of the desired gender.
Expecting a baby is the happiest and most memorable time in every woman's life. What could be more beautiful than the birth of an heir? So don't worry about the gender of the new family member - enjoy every minute, and as soon as the time comes and you go to the maternity ward, the midwife will please you and you will learn about the birth of the long-awaited son or daughter.
Nature keeps the sex of the child secret almost until the middle of the gestation period. Expectant mothers, who can’t wait to find out as soon as possible who they will have, this time seems incredibly long, and jokingly or seriously, they begin to look for ways to determine the sex of the child without ultrasound. Let's look at a few ways to do this.
A little about the formation of the floor
The sex of the unborn child does not depend on eating meat or milk, not on sexual intercourse in a certain phase of the cycle before or after ovulation, and not even on the full moon, but solely on the future dad. Female sex cells always carry the chromosome set XX. But male cage- the sperm can be "charged" in different ways - XX or XY. It depends on which spermatozoon will reach the target first - the egg, and it depends on what gender the child will be. X-spermatozoon guarantees a girl, and Y guarantees a boy.
Thus, gender is completely predetermined from the first seconds after conception. Nothing can affect him anymore. This is the genetic information contained in the rapidly dividing cells of the future embryo.
The sex glands in a child begin to form from the 6th week of pregnancy (only 4 weeks after fertilization). At first, both the ovaries of girls and the testicles of boys are in the abdominal cavity. Much later, the boy's glands will descend into the scrotum, and the girls' ovaries will descend into the small pelvis.
The external genital organs, which allow the doctor to determine by ultrasound what sex the fetus is, complete their formation closer to the 12-13th week of pregnancy, but their size is still so small that errors in the diagnosis of sex at this time are not ruled out. See gender identity more clearly possible only after 16-18 weeks pregnancy. After 20 weeks, the accuracy of ultrasound in predicting sex approaches 90%.
The desire to find out who lives in the tummy - a boy or a girl, is natural and understandable. Especially for those who already have children of the same sex in the family (two or three sons or two daughters, etc.). Waiting for the moment when the secret becomes clear is given to the mother with difficulty. There are also women who are sure that ultrasound harms the child. They consider it wrong to go for such a diagnosis only in order to find out the sex of the baby.
The harm of ultrasound has not been proven or refuted, since science cannot study the long-term consequences of scanning an unborn child with ultrasonic waves. At this stage, the method is considered relatively safe, but not everyone is sure of this..
There are other methods that are approved by evidence-based medicine and have been tested. True, they are more expensive than the ultrasound scanning procedure.
medical methods
Non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT) It is the most effective method sex determination, excluding ultrasound. The test can be done at any medical genetic center. A woman only needs to take a blood test from a vein after the 8th week of pregnancy.
Fetal erythrocytes will be found in her blood and their DNA will be isolated, which will make it possible to determine with high accuracy both the sex and possible pathologies.
This modern technology already in the first trimester, starting from the 9th week, with a probability of 99.9% determines not only the sex of the child, but also a number of severe and most common chromosomal disorders at the fetus.
The only drawback of the method is its high price. But many future mothers now breathe a sigh of relief, because before there was no safe alternative to an invasive procedure that carries the risk of miscarriage. The analysis does not cancel the planned ultrasound examination within the specified time frame.
"TestPol"
At home, you can do a special test to determine the sex. It is made by an American company. "TestPol" can be used in early pregnancy.
It is possible to determine the sex of the unborn child from the 8th week of pregnancy, it is at this time, as the manufacturers indicate, that the fetus begins to produce its own sex hormones. A woman's urine sample should be mixed with a reagent according to the instructions and the color should be assessed.
Yellow and orange scales indicate a girl, green - a boy. The cost of the test is from 2000 to 3500 rubles. Manufacturers estimate the accuracy at 86%, in fact, which is confirmed by the reviews of pregnant women, the accuracy is much less.
"non-serious" ways
For those who for some reason are not suitable for medical tests and analyzes, and for impatient expectant mothers who want to determine the sex almost from the date of conception of the baby, humanity has come up with a lot of ways to calculate the sex of the child, though they all belong to a kind of entertainment .
Chinese table
It is difficult to say with certainty when this table appeared, but it is credited with a rather ancient origin. In China, during the ban on the birth of a second child, the issue of gender planning was more acute than anywhere else. Most Chinese families needed a boy to continue their clan, surname. Girls could even have an abortion for medical reasons. It is believed that the Chinese still use this table when planning a pregnancy.
However, the Chinese themselves do not confirm this information. Therefore, it is wiser to treat the table as entertainment. The accuracy of the table is about 60%. If we simply assume that you will have either a boy or a girl (which, by the way, is true), the accuracy of the forecast will be slightly lower than that of the Chinese table - 50%.
Information that the table was found in Beijing by archaeologists in a ruined temple, inscribed on a stone base by the ancient sages, does not correspond to the truth. In the 14th century, to which the origin of the method is attributed, there were no months of the Gregorian calendar. The medieval Chinese measured time according to the solar and lunar calendar. But if you leave alone the dubious origin of the method, then it is quite possible to have fun checking your gender in relation to the age of your mother at which she conceived you, as well as the sex of other relatives, knowing how old their mother conceived them.
In case of a match, you should not triumph too much, since the probability of hitting is still quite high, as is the probability of a miss. In the horizontal line, choose the age of the woman at the time of fertilization, and in the column - the month of conception. At the intersection of positions, either "M" or "D" is obtained, which means a boy or a girl.
Blood renewal method
This method provides an excellent opportunity to practice simple mathematics, but does not provide any guarantees for an accurate result. Its essence boils down to the theory of blood renewal. It is believed that it is updated in women every three years, and in men - once every four. The transferred surgical operation, transfusion of donor blood “reset” the statistics, and the countdown starts from this time.
It is believed that the child borrows the sex that was updated last. Thus, a woman who is 24 years old and a man who is 28 years old are more likely to conceive a boy if they have not had major medical interventions associated with surgery.
From point of view traditional medicine, the term "hematopoiesis" can be applied with a big stretch to the concept of blood renewal. It describes the processes that take place in the bone marrow and the lymphatic system, implies the formation of blood cells, which occurs regularly, and not every 3-4 years, and in no way is it applicable to the processes of procreation. because it proceeds with the same intensity in infertile people and in the elderly. Therefore, the method of blood renewal can also be safely attributed to the category of entertainment at your leisure, such as a crossword puzzle or a rebus.
Heart rate
Some mothers who have been to an early ultrasound scan are trying to find the answer to the main question - he or she, based on the data received from the diagnostician about the baby's heart rate. There is an opinion among the people that the hearts of girls in the womb beat faster than the hearts of boys.
Experienced obstetricians really know how to determine gender by ear, but this happens right before the birth, in the final weeks before them. And as a diagnostic marker, midwives do not use the heart rate at all, but the tone. A more sonorous and lively heart is more characteristic of boys, and a quiet tone is more characteristic of girls.
At numerous women's forums on the Internet, the method of determining sex by heartbeat is assessed by pregnant women themselves as probabilistic - coincidences are 50/50%.
Signs
There are a great many signs to which folk rumor ascribes diagnostic properties. For example, the sex of a child is judged by the shape of the pregnant woman's tummy. If he is “sharp”, the navel protrudes, then a boy lives in the belly. If the stomach seems to blur, “spreads” on the sides, then they say that the woman is expecting a girl.
The shape of the abdomen, from the point of view of traditional medicine, depends only on where the baby is located - along the front or back wall, as well as on the size of the fetus and the amount of water. Therefore, the shape of the abdomen cannot indicate the gender of the child.
But if you like to live in guesswork, please.
The taste preferences of a pregnant woman are also interpreted in favor of a child of one sex or another. If a woman likes sweets, and she demands ice cream, cake, then it is believed that this is a sign that characterizes the bearing of girls. Pickled cucumbers, herring and black bread, according to signs, are usually liked by women who are expecting sons. Medicine does not explain such statements in any way, since no one has ever seriously studied the relationship between food preferences and the sex of the unborn child.
The mood and behavior of the expectant mother
The capriciousness of the expectant mother, sudden mood swings, tearfulness are considered by the people as a sign that a daughter will be born in the family soon. Calmness and peace, drowsiness may indicate a boy. Official medicine says that all the mood swings of a woman in an "interesting position" in the first place due to hormonal changes in the body, this is how progesterone affects the behavior of the expectant mother.
Hormones also affect the appearance of a pregnant woman. People couldn't help but notice. So, there were signs regarding beauty.
It is believed that the boy's mother remains beautiful and attractive in the course of bearing a child, but the little girl "takes away" external attractiveness from her mother.
How to determine the sex of a child without ultrasound, see the following video.
- All reliable ways
- by ultrasound
- without ultrasound
Of course, every parent is interested in the question of who will be born: a boy or a girl. Moms and dads guess, grandmothers speak with confidence, relying on folk methods, and only a doctor can tell with maximum accuracy the gender of the baby. We will tell you about all the methods of how to determine the sex of the unborn child.
At what time can you find out the sex of the unborn child
Already at the 7th week of pregnancy, you can determine the sex of the unborn child with the help of a medical examination. The DNA test will prompt the answer: if the Y chromosome is detected, then definitely wait for a boy, and if X - a girl. But this method cannot be considered 100% accurate.
At week 9, a gender test can be done. According to the methodology, it is similar to a pregnancy test. By the color of the indicator, you will determine the gender of the unborn child: orange means that you will have a girl, and green means a boy.
To lift the veil of secrecy, if you are lucky, you can find out the sex of the child starting from the 14th week of pregnancy. An ultrasound will show how the boy or girl is doing. On the 15th week, the chances of making sure are even greater. But the most accurate answer will be given by diagnostics at 21-25 weeks. For more pleasure, opt for 3D ultrasound.
A 100% result is given only by a genetic study of amniotic fluid, medically - a chorion biopsy or amniopuncture. But it is shown only in one case - if your doctor has a suspicion of a genetic disorder.
Planning the sex of the child by the date of ovulation
Of course, it is not always possible to “plan” the sex of the unborn child, but you can try. Or remember the course of events, make calculations and understand who you are waiting for.
The gender of the baby depends more on the father, since the expectant mother contains only the X chromosome. Spermatozoa that carry the Y chromosome are faster than those that carry the X chromosome, but they also live less. If you know the time of your ovulation and keep a calendar, you can be sure that the "boy" sperm will get there faster and fertilize the egg.
But if ovulation has not occurred, and conception has already occurred, then there is a high probability that you will have a girl.
Determination of the sex of the unborn child by heartbeat
At the 10th week of pregnancy, heart sounds will already be clearly audible. By the number of rhythmic beats, you can find out the sex of the baby: if the number of beats per minute is more than 140, then there is a chance of a daughter being born, and if less, a son will be born.
Determination of the sex of the unborn child by blood
There are 2 ways:
- According to the group and Rh factor of the blood of the parents.
- By the "renewal" of the blood.
It is believed that the blood has the ability to renew itself. For women - once every 3 years, for men - once every 4.
For example, if a man is 36 and a woman is 32:
36/4= 9
32/3=10 (remaining 2 years)
The blood of a man is younger, so it will be a boy.
Determination of the sex of the unborn child according to the Japanese calendar
First you need to find the number that will turn out at the intersection of the months of birth of the parents. And in the second table you need to find the month of conception of the child and the number from the first table.
Determination of the sex of the unborn child according to the Chinese calendar
The ancient Chinese table appeared more than 700 years ago, the original is kept in Beijing, and you can see it above.
To determine the sex of the unborn child, you only need the age of the mother and the month of conception.
Folk signs for determining the sex of the unborn child
- the waist is visible from behind - a boy;
- suffers from toxicosis, the skin has become problematic - a girl;
- cravings for sweets - a girl;
- pulls on salty - a boy;
- the woman became capricious - a girl;
- the woman became clumsy - a boy;
- the baby kicks hard in the womb - a boy.
There are many methods for determining, but there is only one child. As one doctor said, in any case, after 9 months, all parents will know the gender. Happy motherhood and fatherhood!
But even at this gestational age, there is a possibility of error, and the doctor warns that the gestation period of 22-24 weeks (the second planned ultrasound) is the best to find out if it will be a boy or a girl.
We will recall some folk signs that will give you the answer to the interesting question “Who will I have?”.
Ultrasound of the fetus is performed in strictly defined terms. And once again, just out of curiosity to find out the gender, no one will assign you this study. As mentioned above, the accuracy of sex determination during ultrasound depends on the gestational age, as well as on the experience of the specialist. At the gestational age of 15-17 weeks, errors in sex determination are still possible.
They are explained by the adoption of a loop of the umbilical cord or fingers of the fetus for the penis or swollen labia for the scrotum. In the period of 23-25 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus is mobile and during the study it can turn so that its gender will be visible. From 37 weeks, due to the low mobility of the fetus, sex determination can be difficult.
How else can you determine the sex of the child?
It is possible to determine the sex in the early stages (7-10 weeks) using a chorion biopsy, but this manipulation is carried out only for medical reasons, when it is impossible for a family to give birth to a male or female child due to the inheritance of certain genetic diseases. As a result of this procedure, the sex of the embryo is established with a 100% guarantee, but it is not safe to carry it out due to the threat of miscarriage.
How to find out the sex of a child by signs?
Therefore, those parents who want to know who they will have, early, can adopt folk signs. True, it is not always possible to determine with great accuracy whether it will be a boy or a girl. Many signs, most likely, are known to you, and you will learn about some for the first time.
They may seem ridiculous to you, but they exist and you need to know them. And, perhaps together, they will help you find out the gender for sure. At least, many mothers claim that thanks to the signs they managed to find out the sex of the unborn child.
Determination of the sex of the child by the age of the mother at the time of conception
The method is based on the lunar calendar and originated in medieval China. Its feature is the early, before conception, determination of the sex of the child. Chinese horoscope was found during excavations near Beijing. In China, this issue was given great importance, since only a man was always the heir to the family. Aristocratic families believed that, using magic and the lunar calendar, it was possible to determine the sex of the child and even change it in the womb. After adapting the horoscope to the Gregorian calendar, we can try to make a forecast.
Find your age in the first column, compare it with the month of conception in the first row of the table and find out who to expect at the intersection. D - girl, M - boy.
Sex determination by blood renewal
The method of blood renewal is based on the theory that the processes of replacing old cells with new ones are constantly taking place in the human body. Blood is also renewed: for men every four years, for women every three years. If at the time of conception the blood of a man is newer, a boy will be born, if the blood of a woman, then wait for a girl. It matters if the blood has undergone renewal earlier than expected due to blood loss due to other births, abortions, injuries or operations. In this case, the countdown goes from these events. For a starting point to simplify the calculation, you can take 15 years for women and from 16 for men.
Sex determination by heartbeat or pulse
This method can be practiced from the middle to the end of the 2nd trimester. The method is popular with some obstetrician-gynecologists. The heartbeat is heard with an obstetric stethoscope through the mother's abdomen. It is believed that in boys the heartbeat is faster and more rhythmic, in girls it is slightly slower, with an uneven rhythm.
Pulse diagnostics is a very advanced method, widely used in Eastern countries. The basics of Tibetan and Chinese medicine pay great attention to the diagnosis of diseases by pulse. Witch doctors and monks who practice this method can very accurately determine the sex of the child by the mother's pulse.
There are many other methods: the Japanese horoscope, sex determination by the blood type of parents, folk signs and beliefs.
Based on probability theory, the percentage of exact matches can reach 50% in the ideal case. At the same time, the error in determining the sex of the child is not critical, since common sense prevails in the minds of most expectant mothers, and they decide to do an ultrasound scan.
The only accurate test before birth is done in a complicated and risky procedure called an amniocentesis. This procedure is carried out according to strict medical indications, for the diagnosis of possible hereditary diseases. Another test is possible with IVF, when pre-implantation diagnosis is performed before the transfer of embryos to the uterus for the same purpose as amniocentesis.
Define "the old fashioned way"
For centuries, the experience of observing the behavior of pregnant women, their feelings has been accumulated, and so folk signs have been formed and passed on from generation to generation. To find out the sex of the child in those days when there was no ultrasound, they offered appearance women, her taste preferences.
Gender of the child according to signs - girl
Folk signs and observations suggest that parents over 30 years old have daughters. The intensity of sexual life before conception also matters - with daily sexual activity, there is a chance of conceiving a girl.
It is possible to determine who the future parents are expecting by external signs and changes in the pregnant woman. A woman who is expecting the birth of a girl has a rounded, vague, ball-like belly, however, to me, it is more shifted to the left. She retains the grace of movement. Outwardly, it does not change for the better: swelling of the lips, face, dark spots on the face, stretch marks on the stomach. According to these signs, they conclude that the woman is expecting a girl and she “takes beauty” from her mother.
You can determine whether a boy or a girl is expected as follows: dark areolas around the breast nipple indicate pregnancy as a girl. According to the signs, if a pregnant woman has toxicosis in the first half of pregnancy, she takes it hard, feels bad and constantly has a bad mood, then there will certainly be a girl.
You can determine the sex by changing her taste preferences. A pregnant girl has a pronounced craving for sweets, fruits, which was not observed before pregnancy.
Also, if the first movement was felt on the left side of the abdomen, then a girl will be born.
Gender of the child according to signs - a boy
Signs say that the younger the woman, the more likely the birth of a son. The frequency of sexual relations between spouses also matters. If before conception they were with a break of several days, then a boy will be born.
You can find out the sex by external signs: if the stomach resembles a cucumber (long and pointed), then there will be a boy. In this case, the abdomen is more enlarged on the right. A pregnant woman retains her waist (rear view) even at a long gestational age, and outwardly she blossoms, prettier, people say - "pregnancy colors her."
If the hair on the legs of a pregnant woman grows more intensively and hairs appear on her stomach, there will be a boy. If the areola around the nipple light color, and the breast has not changed its shape, then this indicates a pregnancy with a boy.
According to popular beliefs, if a pregnant woman is constantly cold and her feet are cold, then a boy will be born. All this also applies to the course of pregnancy in the first trimester. If a pregnant woman does not have toxicosis, and she easily tolerates pregnancy, then she wears a boy. According to observations, a woman expecting the birth of a boy is drawn to meat products, spicy and salty dishes, while the pregnant woman eats a lot and often.
You can find out the sex of the child by the first movement. If the movement is felt on the right, then there will be a boy. Boys also behave more actively and move more strongly. In addition, gender can be determined by signs such as heartbeat: the boy's heartbeat is less than 140 per minute.
And observations suggest that the shorter the period between the birth of children in a woman, the more likely it is that the second child will be of the opposite sex.
These are the most common signs of determining the sex of a child. But believe me, it is not so important to find out as early as possible, the main thing is to love the child from the first days of conception, which will appear very soon with you. The very birth of a child is already a great joy and the most significant event in the life of loving parents.

The most accurate such method today with almost 100% guarantee is chorion biopsy. It is possible to determine already from 7 weeks of pregnancy. But this method is resorted to mainly only for medical reasons, in some cases it can lead to the development of serious complications, even abortion.
Another very sure method that allows you to determine the sex of a child already at 12-14 weeks is to determine the sex by the frequency of his heartbeat. Many gynecologists use this method and rarely make mistakes. Usually a fetal heart rate of more than 140 beats per minute corresponds. If less, then the boy.
Perhaps the most common and official method for determining the sex of a child is ultrasound. In any case, this is possible not earlier than 10-12 weeks of pregnancy. The child may show peculiar false signs. More data can be obtained for a period of 23-25 weeks. But ultrasound, unfortunately, does not give you a 100% guarantee.
However, there are cases when, for example, ultrasound is not possible for medical reasons. In such a situation, you can contact folk methods, one of which is sex determination by .
A woman can only get pregnant when she is ovulating. Spermatozoa can remain in the female genital organs for up to 96 hours. Because the life expectancy of male spermatozoa, carriers of the Y chromosome is less than carriers of only the X chromosome (female), the probability of conceiving a boy increases sharply on the days of ovulation. But this is also not a 100% method.
A very common method for determining the sex of a child at an early stage for blood renewal. Blood in women is renewed every 3 years, in women - every 4 years. If a woman has a negative Rh factor, then vice versa. Whose blood will be “younger”, the baby will be born of that gender.
An interesting point here is the frequency of having sex. If a man had a long abstinence until the moment of conception, most likely there will be a girl. This theory has found its scientific explanation: more mobile "male" spermatozoa do not live long, therefore, in the sperm of a man who has not had sex for a long time, the number of tenacious "female" spermatozoa is increased.
There are many formulas among the people for determining the sex of the unborn child. One of them looks like this: 49 - X + 1 + Y + 3, where X is the age of the father, and Y is the month of conception. If the answer here is even number- wait for a boy, odd - a girl.
In general, ultrasound - as a way to determine the sex of a child at an early stage, is the most reliable of the safest methods. Scientists continue to search for new approaches to solving this problem. One of these areas are innovative tests to determine the sex of the unborn child. They have not yet received wide practical application, and their accuracy is also not 100%.
Of course, today there are a lot of methods for determining the sex of a child at an early stage. How to use - your legal right. But whatever you choose, the main thing is that the baby is desired, healthy and always loved.
