Not all parents want to wait until the birth of a child to find out its gender. Therefore, various methods have been developed, from medical to folk, which make it possible to clarify in advance whether you will have a boy or a girl.
Instructions
Step 1
See your gynecologist. By the fourteenth week of pregnancy, the sex of the child may be reported to you after a scheduled ultrasound scan. However, in this case, there will remain a great possibility of error. The final result can be given by the analysis of amniotic fluid, or amniocentesis. Since such a study, in contrast to ultrasound, carries some additional risk of miscarriage, it is usually carried out with a high degree of probability of hereditary diseases in the child. This analysis is carried out to check the chromosome set, at the same time it helps to accurately find out the sex of the child. Amniocentesis is performed no earlier than the sixteenth week. Other tests for chromosomal abnormalities, such as cord blood sampling or biopsy, also help to find out the gender.
Step 2
Use folk methods. Unlike medical ones, they give low accuracy. For example, sex determination by the shape of a pregnant woman's belly is popular. If it protrudes strongly forward, this is considered a sign of pregnancy with a boy, if it has a rounded shape and rather expands, then a girl can be expected. Pay attention to changes in the appearance of a pregnant woman. If she is susceptible to edema and pigmentation, then, according to popular belief, the birth of her daughter is more likely. Severe toxicosis is also attributed to the expectant mothers of girls.
Step 3
Pay attention to the child's father. It is believed that older men are more likely to have daughters than sons. It is also believed that men with a noticeable bald head, that is, with a high hormonal background, are more likely to have a son.
Step 4
Explore the experience and knowledge of traditional oriental medicine. In China and Japan, it has long been believed that the sex of a child can be predicted by the date of conception and the age of the mother. Self-calculation tables are widely presented on websites for pregnant women.
