How to have a baby you want?

Philippines
November 12, 2012 5:30pm CST
I saw some families that their kids are all female while some are all men. Just like my father, they are all three men in their family. There are many superstition on how to get a baby girl or baby boy. Based on my observation, if the egg that has been fertilized came from the right ovary, it will become a baby boy. Just the other way around for a baby girl. Some oldies says that you should know the monthly period of your partner to know when to make baby. How about you mylotters, what are the other superstitions you heard about having a baby girl or boy? Do you believe in such superstitions? Goody day!

The lady has a PH level that must be under 5 if she wants to try to get pregnant with a baby girl. If she wants to get pregnant with a baby boy she must have a PH level of over 6. She can do that by eating either the girl diet or the boy diet. The PH level is that of her cervical mucus. The lady needs to know the length of her monthly cycle. For example she might have one that is 28 days long. Days 1 to 5 might be her period when she bleeds. She needs to pin point the day she has ovulation and it usually is 14 days before her next period. To get a baby diet the lady would try to get pregnant in the days after her period but no where near the day she ovulates. To get a baby boy the lady should try to get pregnant on the day of ovulation when she is most fertile. To get a baby girl shallow penetration is favorable and to get a baby boy deep penetration is favorable. So the lady in my example if she wants a baby girl should try on days 7,9 and 11 and if that doesn't work the next month try days 6, 8 and 10. She shouldn't try on the middle days because there is a risk she could get a baby boy. Don't forget day 1 is the start of her period. If the lady in my example wants a baby boy she would aim for days 12, 14 and 16. If that doesn't work she could try days 13 and 15. Often a sway like that works with some effort with following the diet. No salt is in the girl diet.

This is very interesting information I got. What I just know is that before the monthly period, if the egg was fertilized, it will yield to a certain gender, as well as after the period. I haven't any idea about the baby girl and boy diets. Maybe I will share this information to my wife so that the next time we want to had our baby it will be a girl already. Thanks again for this information.

Hi asdomencil! Speaking of superstitions, I heard this thing from my mother when I was young. Her friend shared her that she also want to have a baby boy. She already have three children all of which are girl. My mother told her that if she wants to have a baby boy she should give away the things of she had for the baby girl. We have this practice that we keep the baby clothes and other things being used by the baby for the intention of using it again just in case we give birth again. But personally, I know there are scientific method that are recommended by doctors. Have a nice day!

I never heard of this one. Does it mean that if you have unisex clothes for babies, still you cannot identify the gender of the baby. hehehe I don't know if doctors have the capability of determining the highest probability of havign either a boy or girl. Maybe we should ask if there is an OB-GYN mylotters here to give us some tips on how to have a baby girl or boy. hehehe

I think yes, it is true that there are some ways or method to hae the gender you preferred but I think only few knew about it so there are still some that ends up giving birth of the same gender.

He he. I heard her giving that advice because she said she did it to my sisters clothes that is why we have a brother after her. There are so many scientific methods on selecting the gender we want for our baby however I was not able to try any of these methods because I have a boy and a girl already. There is also a calendar which I've seen during my visit to an OB several years ago and it was written there the possibilities of having a baby boy or girl during a specific period.

I grew up hearing a lot of superstitions. But I really do not believe in them. But just so to get myself out of trouble, if my parents or grandparents tell me not to do certain things, I oblige. However, with the gender of the baby, I just heard about it after my second child. My husband's bother in law told me that the gender of the baby can somehow be "manipulated", and that is with the kind of position you had when making love. But I don't think that it could be really true.

I also heard of that superstition. Also there some telling the time of the day and many more. For me, if this is true, how come that there are still couples having all girls or all boys in their family.

I heard the husband of my sister in law saying that the position on how he "made" it was how he got one boy and one girl as their kids. But I could not buy that explanation if I were not given a scientific proof. I am not so much of a believer of superstitions, although believing them seem to be harmless. But from what i think about it, superstitions are built more on fear about something that limits the movements or actions or the way a person thinks.

That is another thing I also heard from oldies. Some even says that just by the "position" you can have a twin. I don't believe such supertitions and heresays. You are right, sometimes, following some superstitions does not make any harm but there are some that are really over-reacting about some superstitions.

There are scientific research to have the preferred babies in the future. But I will not elaborate further since it is more on details. There is no superstitions beliefs for this, only signs that if the tummy is protruded it is a boy and among others.

I think the protruding tummy is not a way to indicate if the baby is girl or boy. In our case, when my wife gots pregnant, her tummy is really flat or round but it was a boy. Also, there are many women I saw that their tummy are protruded but delivers a baby girl.

My former biology teacher once told us that there is a factor when you make it before menstruation and after menstruation. I forget which can make it a boy and which can make it a girl. Haha! Sorry. I forgot the details, really. But I guess I somehow believe that since he is a teacher anyway. But there is one ancient belief which I hate the most. It is when kings and fathers blame their wives when their first child is a female. First and foremost, it is actually male's cells (according to biology) which makes the baby a male or a female. It's with the X and Y chromosomes. :)

Yeah that is one I also heard, some said that after or before the monthly period, it will determine what will be the gender of the baby. I don't know if this is true of just coincidence because still there are couples that have all boys or all girl.
