How to prepare for pregnancy and having a son?

1. Pre-pregnancy diet adjustment for alkaline constitution. Clinical practice experience shows that by adjusting the diet before pregnancy, the acid-base value of the female body can be changed, thereby affecting the female vaginal secretions and controlling the gender of the child. A woman's vagina is generally acidic. If alkaline substances are secreted during orgasm, it is more suitable for the survival of Y sperm and will result in the birth of a boy. Generally, women eat alkaline foods, and men eat a balanced diet, which can help give birth to a boy. Eat more alkaline foods, such as grains, potatoes, spinach, tomatoes, cabbage, carrots, apples, bananas, papayas, pears, oranges and other vegetables and fruits. However, a single diet can lead to malnutrition. The best recommended acid-base food ratio is 3:7 or 4:6. Traditional Chinese medicine regulating qi and blood is an important guarantee for women's health. Insufficient qi and blood will reduce the probability of conception and will also affect the healthy development of the fetus. To give birth to a boy, more blood and qi are needed to support it. Sufficient qi and blood is one of the keys to preparing for pregnancy and giving birth to a boy. Chinese medicine should focus on replenishing blood and qi, and avoid taking blood-damaging herbs such as motherwort, croton, and angelica. Avoid taking decoctions as this can cause gastrointestinal discomfort, nausea and food incontinence, and is not suitable for women preparing for pregnancy.

2. Appropriate abstinence: When you want to have a boy, the thicker the semen, the better. Therefore, you should have intercourse the day after your period and two days after it, and then abstain from sex from the second intercourse until the expected date of conception, so that you can ejaculate many energetic Y sperm on the day of ovulation, increasing the chances of having a boy. Compared with X sperm, Y sperm has good mobility in alkaline fluid, but is not acid-resistant, lacks persistence, and is very short-lived. Therefore, when engaging in sexual intercourse with the goal of fertilization on the day of ovulation, one should ejaculate as many vigorous Y sperm as possible to be more likely to have a boy.

3. Sex life skills: Generally speaking, the outer area of ​​the female vagina is more acidic, and the closer to the cervix, the more alkaline it is. If you want to have a boy, you should adopt a position that allows penetration during intercourse, so that the Y sperm is closer to the cervical opening and can enter the uterus and combine with the egg in the shortest time possible. It is recommended to adopt rear insertion, or to ejaculate deeply with the woman's hips raised, so that the sperm can approach the alkaline cervix and increase the chance of having a boy. It is best to control the time of intercourse between 5 and 7 pm when conception is most likely to occur. Control the frequency of sexual intercourse. Sexual life should not be too frequent. Generally, having sex within 24 hours before and after the woman's ovulation will increase the chances of pregnancy.
