Pregnancy heartburn and gave birth to a boy

Some pregnant mothers report that they have heartburn during pregnancy. Can this feeling become a basis for determining the sex of the fetus? I believe that many pregnant mothers want to know the answer to this question. So what is the probability of giving birth to a boy if you have heartburn during pregnancy? Let’s take a look together.

1. Is it more likely to have a boy during pregnancy?

Heartburn during pregnancy has nothing to do with whether you will have a boy or a girl. It occurs when the baby grows during pregnancy, the uterus enlarges, and the stomach is pressed down. It is recommended to eat small meals frequently and eat more soft and easy-to-digest foods.

2. What is heartburn in late pregnancy?

Heartburn is also called acid reflux or stomach acid. During pregnancy, the embryo secretes progesterone, which relaxes the smooth muscles of the uterus, but this hormone can also loosen the valve protecting the esophagus and stomach (also called pylorus), causing gastric juice to flow back into the esophagus, causing a burning sensation. In addition, progesterone levels can also slow down the wave-like contraction of the esophagus and intestines, making digestion and absorption slower. The growing baby will also squeeze the mother's abdomen, "pushing" the gastric juice back into the esophagus, making the mother feel heartburn.

1. Let your wife eat small and frequent meals, which can relieve the pressure in the stomach and prevent overeating and overeating. Because the more food in the stomach, the easier it is to reflux into the esophagus and cause heartburn.

2. Avoid your wife from eating foods and drinks that may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, generally including: soda, alcohol (no matter what, you should not drink alcohol during pregnancy), coffee, chocolate, acidic fruits (including citrus and fruit juice, tomatoes, mustard sauce, etc.), meat and cooked vegetables, savory foods, spicy foods, and foods with strong flavors, fried or high fat content.

3. Let your wife eat less spicy, cold or overheated food, as they will irritate the esophageal mucosa and aggravate heartburn.

If a pregnant mother experiences heartburn during pregnancy, it does not accurately reflect the gender of the fetus. Considering Chinese law, we cannot know the gender of the fetus from a medical perspective, but our top priority should be the child's physical condition. We should put a lot of time and energy into the future spiritual growth of the fetus.
