A baby, for couples, is more than just a gift and winning the lottery. It gives them a sense of completeness and an overwhelming feeling. When couples have their own baby, they start to make plans as family. Whether the child is a boy or girl, it still gives the same parents the same feeling. Then again, sometimes when planning of creating family we want a certain order of child in the house like the eldest should be a boy and followed by a girl. In this article you will find what the ways are to make sure you'll have a boy.
Below are some ways to make sure you can have a baby boy.
When you are aiming to have a son, the first thing you should watch out for is your diet. Studies show that having a healthy and good breakfast and making sure you acquire 2000 calories in one day can boost the probability of having a male child. Also include foods rich in sodium and potassium in your diet for it also helps you to have a boy.
Of course for you to have a child, you must have sex. Doing the right deed at the right time can give you baby boy you longed to have. Monitor your ovulation and avoid having sex three days before the ovulation. Make love on the day closest to the ovulation process. This is because, the sperm with Y chromosomes responsible for boy babies tend to out run the sperm with X chromosome, one responsible for girl child. However, Y sperms die faster than Y sperms hence, if you have intercourse on days before the ovulation, chances are the Y sperms already died leaving the X sperms to complete the ovulation.
To effectively have a son, medical process like In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) can be done. Through this process, you can tell the doctor to implant a boy embryo in the uterus. This process, however, is not legal in the US and other many civilized places. Artificial Insemination (AI) also allows one to choose the gender of the baby. However it isn't as accurate as the IVF. To reduce the level of uncertainties in these processes, procedures like Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis and Sperm Sorting, where sperms responsible for the two genders are sorted out, can be made. The said medical processes are commonly done to people who cannot bear a child or having difficulty having one.
There are also other old wives fables that can help in determining the gender of the baby like grabbing on chocolates will help one to have a girl and consuming a lot of red meat is good in order to have a boy. Then again, these processes were never proven to be true or not.
