How a Baby&#39;s Gender is Determined

!±8± How a Baby's Gender is Determined

Most parents are always excited to see their baby. But one of the most exciting parts of having a baby is when you will already determine the sex of the baby. There are varied opinions about the best gender for a baby. Most often it depends on the parents preference. But no matter what, most parents are still excited in having babies. There are some ways that can help you determine the sex of your baby.

VISIT YOUR DOCTOR

One of the best ways to determine that sex of your baby is by asking help from your doctor. Your physician can schedule a sonogram test for you. This will determine the sex of your baby accurately. But you have to remember that it is done when it is the proper time already. Experts say that sonogram is very accurate between 20th- 30th weeks of pregnancy.

The doctor will be able to tell you the sex of your baby by looking at the images of the sonogram. After the 30th week, he will have a hard time seeing the sex organ because of the legs that can become more prominent. You need to consult your physician as early as possible. Images from the sonogram can be printed so you can save them in your album.

PRENATAL TESTS

There are prenatal exams that can help you determine not only the sex of your baby but also the health status. One of the best tests done is amniocentesis. This test will help determine the gender of your baby accurately and will also tell you if your baby has some health problems while inside the womb.

KNOW THE FOODS YOU CRAVE FOR

There are people who suggest that you will know the sex of your baby by knowing what kind of foods you crave for. They say that if you crave for salty foods, you will probably have baby boy but if you always crave for sweet products then it could be a girl. You have to remember that there is no basis for this claim.

DETERMINE THE HEART RATE

Other people suggest that heart rate can be one of the factors that you can consider to determine the sex of the baby. It is believed that most baby girls have faster heart rate than baby boys. They say that if the heart rate is faster than 140 beats per minute then there is a high chance that it is a girl and lower than 140 beats per minute means that your baby is a boy.

There are a lot of ways to determine the sex of your baby. But you have to remember that you must give the same level of love, care and attention to your baby no matter what will be the sex of the baby. Always make your baby feel that he or she is important to you.
