Ultrasounds Are Not a Toy

Congratulations, you’re going to be a parent! But first, you have to acquaint yourself with the ultrasound.

As a woman carrying her child (more so for first time mommies), it’s just natural to feel various mixed emotions during this stage in anticipation of your baby.

Being pregnant is great, and tell me, do you already know if it’s a boy or girl? Or you just want to be surprised by your baby’s gender by the time you deliver?

Actually, this is where the science of sonography ultrasound is of utmost benefit to you. This impressive invention gives us a “sneak peek” or some insight, such as how’s the baby’s heart is doing now, whether there will be more than just one baby about to be delivered and of course, what your baby’s gender will be.

Here are the top reasons for expectant parents about the essence of ultrasound:

1) It is performed in order to confirm (or disprove) an early pregnancy

2) It informs us whether the baby’s organs are functioning and developing normally.

3) Ultrasound aids the physician in determining when your due date will be and when your conception date was.

4) It helps in ensuring correct blood flow throughout the umbilical cord to the fetus.

5) You get to know whether you’re carrying twins, triplets or more!

6) Ultrasound helps physicians good explanations for the findings. Plus, you gain an exact measurement of the baby’s development on its rate and size.

7) And most importantly, ultrasound will help you know if you’re having a baby boy or baby girl!

A sonography ultrasound can confirm Down syndrome in first trimester, confirm a spontaneous pregnancy abort, relay important organ measurements and findings for physicians to decrypt, determine importance of fetal positioning and so much more that really helps to prepare for expectation of your bundle of joy.

Just a friendly reminder though; if you’re being asked what kind of sonography ultrasound you’d like to have recorded and keep as a remembrance, the 2D ultrasound is for the most part, for the doctors’ use in order to record organ findings and the like. The 3D ultrasound is the wall-hang photo frame copy that is usually designed for the parents to display.

Foods To Eat To Have A Baby Girl

What to eat to have a baby girl? Sounds kind of far fetched,doesn’t it? That the foods you eat can ultimately help determine whether you conceive a baby girl or baby boy. As far fetched as it may sound, the foods you eat can indeed have an affect on whether you conceive a boy or girl.

If you eat right you can alter your vaginal ph. If you want a baby girl you will want to create a more acidic reproductive environment. This can increase your chance of conceiving a baby girl dramatically.

You need to realize that it’s the man’s sperm that ultimately determines the gender of your baby. While the woman’s egg always carries the (xx) chromosome (all girl) the man’s sperm can carry the (xy) chromosome (produces a girl) or the (yy) chromosome (produces a boy.)

For the sake of simplicity, from here on, I will refer to the man’s two different sperms as the “boy” sperm and the “girl” sperm.

The two sperm tend to differ physically, in that the girl sperm is the larger, hardier (lives longer) and a much slower swimmer of the two (takes longer to reach the egg.) Conversely the boy sperm is smaller, weaker (tends to die off quicker) but much faster to reach the egg.

Because of these differences, if you desire a baby girl you should try to lower your vaginal ph which will make survival very difficult for the weaker boy sperm. You can do this by eating foods that are acidic, and rich in calcium, and magnesium, while avoiding foods that are alkaline or high in potassium.

Foods to eat when you want a girl are foods high in calcium like dairy products (milk, yogurt, cheese) and magnesium (beans, legumes, leafy green vegetables) as well as highly acidic foods like some fruits (plums, prunes, cranberries) as well as corn, red meats, fish, and whole grains.)

So what foods should you stay away from if wanting a baby girl? How about foods that are alkaline and/or high in potassium such as bananas, most vegetables, orange juice (that surprised me too) potatoes, spinach, and watermelon.Avoid alcohol and caffeine as well.

A quicker way to change your body’s ph (diet alone can take a few months, depending on your natural ph) is douching. Douching has been known to cause vaginal infections so if you want to try it please do so under your doctors care!

Test your vaginal ph with test strips widely available either online or from your local health food store. Get in the habit of testing often so you can get a “feel” for when you are creating the proper ph. When you find out you’re carrying a baby girl, all your hard work will be worth it!

If you are truly serious about having that little baby girl you want, you will need a guide to walk you through the entire process step by step. You can find these guides at my website, as well as other valuable insights in gender selection.

I truly hope you are successful in your gender selection efforts, but remember even if you fail you will still have a beautiful baby boy to love and nurture!

Plan Ahead If You Want To Select The Gender Of Your Baby

Pregnancy is a wonderful experience, from the day of conception until the day of your baby’s birth you will find yourself looking at the world with different eyes. Some couples opt for the surprise to only find out what the baby’s gender is at birth while others prefer preconception gender selection. The choice is all up to you of course- as long as you make it a beautiful and lasting memory.

It is very important to keep in mind that the male partner determines the child’s gender. This is attributed to the fact that sperm are both Y and X chromosome bearing while on the other hand the egg is only X chromosome bearing in other words females already have female baby chromosomes that only need a match with another X to produce a baby girl while the joining of the female’s X chromosome with a male Y will produce a baby boy.

Myths on gender selection are as old as the earth, ranging from doggy or standing style lovemaking to having the woman to climax before the male if you intend on conceiving a boy. If you’re intent on conceiving a girl, then missionary style sex preferably in the late afternoons to making the male climax before the female is the old wives tale frequently suggested. Every culture has a few tips it seems, some truly outrageous, others more mundane.

Researchers have found proof that the pH level in your vagina and baby gender are linked. Your chances of having a girl will be more likely when acidity levels in the vagina are high. For a boy optimal conditions occur when pH levels are more alkaline or neutral.

Conventional, also known as natural, treatments or methods should be a couple’s first choice for conception. Charting as well as exact calculation of ovulation and position changes during sex are all considered conventional treatments or methods. Changes to your diet can possibly play a role in altering alkalinity levels in the vagina.

One method that is costly but has a high rate of success is known as the Ericsson method, This clinical process is categorized as an artificial preconception gender selection method and consists of sperm sifting and sorting to separate the x and y chromosomes in the man’s sperm.

It is extremely important to consult with your doctor before deciding on or initiating any preconception gender selection treatment as some of the treatments or methods available have potential dangerous side effects. A doctor will also recommend the best method or treatment to suit your lifestyle.
