If you like to eat sour food during pregnancy, is it a boy or a girl?

Every woman wants to know whether she is carrying a boy or a girl after she becomes pregnant so that she can prepare the corresponding things in advance. Imagine what your baby looks like in your dream. Often the traditional way to determine the gender of the baby is based on the pregnant woman’s taste, belly shape, etc. So, is it a boy or a girl who likes to eat sour food during pregnancy? A pregnant woman’s love of sour food has nothing to do with gender. It is better to pay more attention to the pregnant woman’s physical and mental health and the development of the fetus.

It is actually in line with physiological and nutritional needs for mothers to like to eat sour food when they are pregnant. Because when the mother is pregnant, the placenta will secrete a substance called human chorionic gonadotropin, which will inhibit the secretion of gastric acid, so the mother's gastric acid will be reduced and the digestive function will be affected, which will manifest as nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite and other reactions when the mother is just pregnant. Acidic foods will stimulate the mother's taste buds, causing her to secrete gastric juice to aid digestion. In fact, the above also introduces the reason why mothers like to eat sour food when they are pregnant. This is because the body has changed, so the substances needed are also different.

This means that there is no way to determine whether a baby is a boy or a girl based on whether the baby likes sour food. The gender of the child is actually determined when the mother becomes pregnant, but sometimes most people around you eat acid when they are pregnant and give birth to boys, so you are influenced by this concept. Liking spicy and sour food during pregnancy has nothing to do with the gender of the fetus. Whether a boy or a girl is born is determined by the nature of the sperm. Suggestions: If a pregnant woman eats too much spicy and fried food during pregnancy, it is very likely that heat toxins will be passed to the fetus, causing eczema in the baby. It is recommended to eat more green vegetables, drink more water, keep bowel movements smooth, and do a good job of pregnancy checkups.

How many weeks of pregnancy is the birth

Some people may worry that after the due date, the fetus will become larger and larger, until it causes a difficult delivery. In fact, pregnant mothers do not need to worry about this. According to statistics, babies born on the due date only account for about 5% of all newborns, while babies born 14 days before or after the due date account for about 85%. After the due date, the development of the fetus will naturally slow down because the function of the placenta gradually declines. However, if the placenta functions well, the fetus can continue to grow.

Moreover, with the development of modern medicine, we can use tests such as non-stress test, sound stimulation test and placental function test to detect whether the placenta is functioning normally, and use B-ultrasound test to check whether the fetus is safe. If there is nothing abnormal in the test results, just wait patiently for natural labor to occur. When the baby has not been born for more than two weeks after the due date, it is medically known as "post-term pregnancy". If the placenta ages, the fetus may not get enough nutrition and oxygen, causing fetal distress or even intrauterine fetal death.

Therefore, when the placenta function ages, artificial methods must be used to induce labor pains. Give birth to the baby as soon as possible. Some pregnant women will resist when they hear about induced abortion, thinking that it is not the right thing to do. If you want a natural birth, you should first avoid giving birth at an advanced age. If you are over 35 years old, it is recommended to consider a cesarean section. Secondly, if the fetus has an abnormal fetal position or the umbilical cord is entangled, it will affect normal delivery and should be corrected as soon as possible. And accumulating enough physical strength through a regular schedule and adequate nutrition before pregnancy can provide enough physical strength for a smooth delivery.
