Swollen legs and feet in late pregnancy can tell the gender of the baby

Nowadays, people say that it doesn’t matter whether you have a boy or a girl, but people in the past undoubtedly valued boys more, so many people are eager to know whether they are pregnant with a boy or a girl after they become pregnant. The two more common ones are to look at the swelling of the legs and the shape of the pregnant woman's belly. This statement, which seems foolish now, was regarded as a golden saying in the society at that time. However, people now know that these two methods are inaccurate for judging the gender of the baby, and the gender of the baby is determined by chromosomes.

1. Does swelling of the feet in late pregnancy have anything to do with the gender of the baby?

Swollen feet in the late pregnancy actually have nothing to do with whether the baby is a boy or a girl. Whether a baby is a boy or a girl is determined by the sex chromosomes of the organism. If the child's genes are XX, it's a girl, and if they are XY, it's a boy. Swollen feet are just edema during pregnancy. Just pay attention to blood circulation and a balanced diet. Since fetal gender identification is illegal in our country, various methods of predicting the baby's gender have become popular among the people. Here, we have compiled some for pregnant mothers for reference only.

1. If the fetal heart rate is lower than 140 beats/minute, the fetus is a boy.

Girls have a higher heart rate than boys, but this is only true when they are just born. There is no difference in the fetal heart rate between boys and girls. The speed of heart rate only varies with gestational age. At about 5 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus' heart rate is close to the mother's heart rate, which is 80 to 85 beats per minute. Then, during the 9th week of pregnancy, the heart rate gradually increases to 170~200 beats/minute. Then during the second trimester, the rate gradually slows down to 120-160 beats per minute.

2. If the pregnant woman's abdomen is too protruding, it is a girl. If the abdomen is not too protruding or the lower abdomen is protruding, it is a boy.

If a pregnant woman has a short upper body, the space for the fetus to grow can only extend outward, so the abdomen will appear large. On the contrary, if a pregnant woman has a long upper body, it can provide enough space for the fetus to grow, and the abdomen does not need to protrude outward.

3. If a pregnant woman has a lower abdomen (large lower abdomen), it is a boy, and if she has an upper abdomen (large upper abdomen), it is a girl.

If the pregnant woman is carrying an upper calf, it may be her first pregnancy or she may have a good body shape. After a pregnant woman has been pregnant once, her abdominal muscles relax and will naturally "sag" when she becomes pregnant again.

4. Black nipples mean a boy

The color of nipples is affected by hormones in the body. The increase in the levels of progesterone and hormones that stimulate melanocytes during pregnancy causes some originally dark parts of the body surface to become darker. The color of the nipples will quickly recover after giving birth. This phenomenon has nothing to do with the gender of the fetus.

2. Scientific methods to determine whether a boy or a girl is born

1. Dietary adjustment during the pregnancy preparation period.

A woman's vagina is generally acidic. If alkaline substances are secreted during orgasm, it is more suitable for the survival of Y sperm, making it easier to give birth to a boy. If you want to give birth to a girl, you should maintain an acidic environment in your body. Therefore, during the pregnancy preparation period, prospective parents can change the body's acid-base values ​​by controlling their diet. If you want to have a boy, he should eat more acidic foods such as lean meat and animal fat, while women should eat more alkaline foods such as vegetables and fruits. Conversely, if you want to have a girl, men should eat more alkaline foods, while women should eat more acidic foods.

2. Change the pH of the vagina

If the couple hopes to have a girl, three days before ovulation, they should dilute acetic acid with a small amount of clean warm water and then rinse the woman's vagina to make it acidic. If you want to have a boy, flush your vagina with soda water three days before ovulation to enhance the alkaline environment of the vagina.

3. Create a climax

The vagina of a normal woman is usually highly acidic. After the first orgasm, it will become acidic, and after the second orgasm, it will become weakly acidic. Semen is alkaline in nature. When a woman reaches orgasm, the alkalinity of the vagina will be enhanced, making it more suitable for the growth of sperm carrying the Y chromosome. Therefore, those who want to have a boy should try their best to create an orgasm to increase the chance of making the vagina more alkaline.

4. Find the right time to have sex.

The environmental temperature one month before the fertilized egg is combined, that is, the temperature of the environment in which the boy and the girl are in one month before sexual intercourse, is an important factor affecting the baby's gender. A high temperature environment is more likely to create a baby boy, while a low temperature environment is more likely to create a baby girl. High temperatures will affect the X chromosome of sperm, making it difficult for a baby girl to be born; low temperatures will affect the Y chromosome of sperm, making it difficult for a baby boy to be born. Therefore, if you want to have a boy, it is best to conceive in the summer, and if you want to have a girl, try to conceive in the winter.

5. Sexual posture and frequency.

If you want to have a boy, you can adopt the standing or doggy style position and lie down quietly for a while after intercourse. If you want to have a girl, you might as well try the missionary position or woman-on-top position. In addition, it is said that frequent sexual intercourse can increase the chances of having a girl.
