There are different ways to determine the sex of the unborn child, but not all of them are reliable. Try using tables and some formulas, or better get an ultrasound scan.

Step 1
The easiest and most reliable way to find out what gender the unborn child will be is an ultrasound examination. In the early stages, this method is ineffective, since the sexual characteristics of the fetus are not yet sufficiently visualized. But already from the 12th week of pregnancy, an experienced specialist doctor with the help of new equipment and subject to a favorable location of the unborn child in the womb will be able to find out its gender.
Step 2
To find out the sex of the unborn child, you can use one of the tables. The most popular is the Chinese table, which the fairer sex has been using for hundreds of years. In the first column of such a table, you need to find the age of the expectant mother, and in the top row - the month of conception. By combining these two values, you can find out the gender. But few can say with certainty in which month fertilization took place, because not everyone has a regular menstrual cycle. There are other tables as well. In some, the underlying factor is the blood type of the parents, in others - the Rh factor. But such methods do not give one hundred percent guarantee of the reliability of the results.
Step 3
If you know the day of ovulation and the date of conception, you can use this data. The sex of the child depends on the man, or rather, on which sperm is the first to reach the egg and fertilize it. If it is the carrier of the XX chromosome, a girl will be born, and if it is XY, a boy will be born. Ovulation lasts only 24 hours, and only during this period fertilization can occur. It is believed that sperm with the XX chromosome are more tenacious, but slow at the same time. And sex cells with an XY chromosome are much faster, but live shorter. And if the estimated date of conception coincided with the day of ovulation, theoretically a boy should be born. If intercourse occurred a day or two before ovulation, it is worth waiting for the girl.
Step 4
The sex of the child can be determined using the blood renewal system. In the fairer sex, blood is renewed every three years, in men - every 4. Serious blood loss is also considered renewal, for example, due to injury or when donating blood at a donor center. If the father's blood was later renewed, a boy should be born, and if mother's - a girl. To find out, divide the woman's age by 3, and the man's age by 4. If the future father has less remainder, it is worth waiting for a male child, if the woman has a female one.
Step 5
Use folk wisdom and signs. Examine the belly of the pregnant woman. It is believed that if it is pointed, there is a boy inside, if it is round - a girl. Examine the mother-to-be's taste preferences. If she prefers sweet and starchy foods, a female child will be born, and if salty, a male child. The appearance of a pregnant woman can also tell a lot. There is a belief that a girl "steals" all the beauty of her mother, therefore, in this case, the appearance of the pregnant woman deteriorates. When carrying a boy, there will be no changes.
