Baby gender selection ? a brief
Baby gender Selection technique gives a great freedom to couples to plan their families as they deem it suitable. With advances in science, gender selection is fast becoming an affordable option for families around the world.
Scientific methods of baby gender selection
Selective abortion: An unfortunate use of science in which the gender of the foetus is determined through amniocentesis and gender selection is done by aborting the pregnancy if the foetus is not of the desired sex. This practice is majorly in vogue in countries where male child is preferred due to various socio-economic reasons.
Microsort: As of now, it is an expensive technique but future holds great promise. Baby gender selection is done scientifically by separating the male and female producing sperms. They are then employed to fertilize eggs by utilizing IVF (in vitro fertilization) or IUI (intrauterine insemination).
PGD or Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis: In this method of gender selection the gender of the embryo is determined before placing it in uterus for further development. This method is pretty controversial and is banned in many countries due to the legal, moral and ethical ramifications of the entire process.
There are also various natural methods that are practised throughout the globe to achieve baby gender selection.
Natural methods of baby gender selection
Diet: The proponents of this theory advocate having a monitored and regulated diet to achieve effective gender selection. A diet rich in magnesium and consisting of less than 2000 calories is said to increase the chances of conceiving a healthy baby girl while sodium, potassium and calories in excess of 2000 are said to produce baby boys.
Timing: This theory is based on the fact that the longevity and speed of male and female sperms vary considerably. So you can plan your intercourses so that the sperms of the chosen gender dominate when eggs are made available for fertilization. This involves keeping track of the ovulations and planning intercourses accordingly.
Ph Levels: Ph levels of the body are said to determine the gender of the baby. High alkaline levels are said to be conducive for conceiving a male child so intercourse can be planned accordingly.
Gender Selection Diet – What Should You Eat?
So is it true? Can you now select the sex of your next baby by watching what foods you do and don’t eat?
According to many Mothers in today’s world, and Fathers too, it is possible! The gender selection diet will have you altering what you eat to increase your chances of conceiving either a girl or a boy.
For hundreds of years women have been trying everything possible to influence the gender of their yet to be conceived children. In today’s society where our governments tell us what is and isn’t ethical, and make rules that it’s citizens have to abide by, then taking certain matters into our own hands was bound to happen sooner or later.
Natural gender selection and all of the differing methods that surround it are quickly surfacing to replace the illegal (in certain countries) medically assisted methods. Gender selection by medical intervention in some countries is now only allowed for certain purposes. To prevent varying genetic and hereditary illness and disease from being passed down the line of more generations.
What the gender selection diet does exactly no-one is sure. Some believe that it makes the woman’s body acceptable to either the male or female sperm. How it does this is yet again another question that can’t be properly answered. Some believe that the gender selection diet can alter the acidity of the mucus inside the vagina, high acidity is said to favour a boy, low acidity, a girl. Douching used to be a technique that some women used, although experts tend to steer women away from this method now as it has been linked to causing infection.
Whatever it does do, doesn’t seem to matter as couples all over the world are raving at it’s success rate. While it can be no where near 100% successful ( only one method can claim to be 99-100% successful and that method is medically assisted!) It seems to be tipping the balance for natural gender selection. As long as it takes you above the 50% chance of success that you have already, then I guess it’s worth a try!
It does seem easy to follow, eat more of a certain food type to tip the balance in the gender stakes. The only problem seems to be… What if you don’t like what you’re told to eat?
