SELECTING GENDER FOR BABY
I am sharing some tips and experiences from various sources. No biochemical processes shall be discussed here, not yet. I’ll include some of the old wives tales whenever possible. Personally, I have never recorded my basal temperatures. Neither about the pros and cons about douching.
Vaginal discharge can provide a good indicator: clear and stretchy (fertile days) whereas whitish/cloudy (non-fertile period). It takes all factors for the mission.
Trying to conceive a BOY:
- It’s all about sodium (Na) – salty fish and preserved eggs (salty). Must increase seafood intake like sardines, salmons, cockles and shrimps.
- Lie down on your rightside after sexual intercourse
- Better to know your menstrual cycle and mark the mid-cycle date. Highlight 1-2 days before and after the mid-cycle date. Timing is crucial!
- Missionary position is best.
- Think of alkaline!
Trying to conceive a GIRL:
- It’s mainly deals with Calcium (Ca) – dairy products like cheese, milk and yoghurt.
- Meat and chicken dishes help to increase the chances to conceive a baby girl.
- Lie down on your leftside after sexual intercourse
- In regards to timing, highlight 2-3 days before and after the mid-cycle on your calendar.
- Think of acidity!
Good Luck!
NAUSEA BUSTER!
- Try eating in smaller portions
- Hi-fibre crackers are helpful
- Stay out of kitchen or toilet
- Walk away from the perfume counter (sometimes the sweetest smell can become the worst when you are expecting)
- Ask your hubby to shower about 5 times or more in a day
