It is not uncommon for doctors to say one sex during research, but at birth it turned out that the baby was of the opposite sex. Therefore, many couples want to know how to determine the sex of the child according to folk signs. Medical research makes it possible to find out who will be born no earlier than 16 weeks of pregnancy, if the fetus turns during an ultrasound scan to a side suitable for diagnosis. It is not for nothing that different beliefs and fortune-telling have long been widely used. Any expectant mother can try them on herself.
Common folk beliefs
To calculate the sex of an unborn child, many signs are used. The most popular of them are widely known.
Folk signs for determining the sex of a child during pregnancy are conventionally divided into groups. Frequent coincidences on various grounds indicate a high chance of having a baby of a certain gender. During the gestation period, girls begin to eat unusual food or consume any product in large quantities. Wise people compared these data and got the following results.
If a woman is expecting a son:
- I want to eat salty, smoked and meat (in the classic example, a pregnant woman who eats cucumbers is expecting an heir);
- prefers the bread crust over the crumb;
- she has an excessive appetite;
- she has a long-lasting smell after eating a clove of garlic.
While waiting for a girl:
- I want to eat sweets and flour products;
- only the crumb eats out of the bread;
- eats in moderation.
In addition to changes in tastes, folk signs pay attention to toxicosis. If he is strong, the woman has a daughter, weak or absent altogether - a son.
Other signs of mom's well-being:
- persistent headaches indicate the expectation of a boy;
- frequent changeable mood suggests that the girl is expecting a daughter;
- feeling unwell in the heat means the imminent birth of a girl, if a girl can hardly tolerate the cold - a boy;
- severely swollen legs indicate pregnancy with a male baby.
The shape of the abdomen is exactly what passers-by and friends pay attention to. On this basis, predicting the sex of the baby is as easy as possible.
If a woman is carrying a boy, her stomach is sharp and oblong, often protruding to the right side. Interestingly, even in the later stages of pregnancy, the heir to the big belly from the back will be invisible.
If a daughter is born soon, the girl’s stomach “spreads” to the sides, sticks out to the left. It will be possible to notice pregnancy from the back already in the second trimester. Although the stomach is rounded much later than when expecting a son.
According to folk signs for determining the sex of the unborn child, it is easy to find out the desired information on the appearance of the expectant mother. They say that if a pregnant woman wears a boy, she becomes prettier: facial features become clear, thick shiny hair grows quickly. Interestingly, a pointed nose indicates the expectation of a male baby.
If a daughter is to be born, the facial features of the pregnant woman become softer. In the later stages, her face swells, her nose becomes large. In the early stages, the girl constantly peels off her skin, acne and other inflammations appear. It is believed that the daughter "takes away" her mother's beauty.
You can guess who will be born by relationships in the family:
- a man is older than a woman - an heir will appear;
- if a girl has more feelings for a man, there will be a daughter, on the contrary, a son;
- it is believed that the baby will take over the sex of the parent who was more active at the time of conception.
These data do not always coincide with reality, since couples often have children of different sexes.
You can calculate the sex from the movements of the fetus in the womb using the following signs. The heirs behave like this:
- the girl feels the first kicks on the right side;
- mostly "swarming" in the lower abdomen;
- strong blows fall on the bladder of a pregnant woman;
- much more active than girls.
Accordingly, it is not difficult to identify girls on the following grounds:
- the first shocks are felt on the left;
- move at the top of the abdomen;
- hit on the liver of the expectant mother;
- are less active than boys.
Dreams help determine the sex of the child according to folk signs. If a girl remembers dreams, you should compare them with the following beliefs:
- dreamed that a son was born - there will be a daughter, and vice versa;
- if in a dream the pregnant woman felt like a man, a boy will be born.
Doctors refute all kinds of folk signs and their relationship with the sex of the baby. For example, if the fetus is lying upside down, it will kick the liver. If the baby is in a breech presentation, the blows will fall on the bladder. However, the folk signs described above often coincide with reality.
Fortune telling on the gender of the child
You can tell fortunes on the sex of a child, knowing simple rituals. Do not blindly believe the result, but only rely on it as a more likely option.
The most popular divination on the gender of the unborn baby:
- if you ask the expectant mother to stretch her hands forward, you need to look where the palms are directed: up - there will be a daughter, down - a son;
- if a girl takes the key by the teeth, a girl will be born, at the top - a boy, at the middle - twins;
- if you ask a pregnant woman to show one hand and stand up, you need to follow the hand with which she helps herself: the left one will be the heir, the right one will be the heiress.
These divinations are very simple and absolutely harmless. It will be interesting for any pregnant woman to try them on herself and compare the result with reality.
The pendulum is one of the most used methods for predicting future events.
The pendulum is a heavy element, such as a ball or cone made of metal, glass or wood, which is suspended from a thread about ten or twenty centimeters long.
Since ancient times, the use of a pendulum to decipher the future has been quite common among seers, it is an easy way to find out what is going to happen. Because it is quite effective.
Wedding ring on a string
The most popular divination by the gender of the baby was carried out by our ancestors with the help of a wedding ring. It acts as a pendulum. It is still unknown what makes him actively swing over the belly of a pregnant girl.
- You need to take a wedding ring and put it on your hair.
- Take 2 ends of the hair: the ring should hang exactly in the middle.
- Lie on your back and put the ring on your navel.
- Slowly raise the device, while the elbows should not be in weight so that the hands do not tremble.
- If the pendulum swings from side to side, a boy will appear, in a circle - a girl.
It is interesting that an absolutely static pendulum raised above the pregnant woman's belly begins to swing strongly.
Also determine the presence or absence of pregnancy. Static indicates that there is no pregnancy.
Instead of a wedding ring, you can use a needle. It is threaded onto a thread and all the points are done, as with a ring.
Unusual signs
Doctors are disapproving of most signs. Most of them mean only the position of the child in the womb, the state of health of the mother and similar signs.
The beliefs described below, which are associated with changes in a woman's body, are used by midwives. According to beliefs, you can find out the sex of the child with the highest possible accuracy.
- If the fetus is male, the level of testosterone in the woman's blood increases significantly. The release of the hormone leads to increased vegetation on the legs, arms, hair appears on the abdomen and back. When expecting a daughter, such changes are not observed.
Due to the hormonal level in girls under 25 years old, boys are mainly born, over 33 years old - girls. Between the ages of 25 and 33, both sons and daughters are born equally often.
- If spouses have sex every day, the chance of conceiving a boy is higher. With regular contacts, "male" spermatozoa quickly reach the female gamete and fertilize it. "Female" sperm are slow, taking several days to reach the uterus. Therefore, with infrequent relationships, the spermatozoa responsible for the birth of a male baby die, and the tenacious "female" have time to get to the egg.
Having studied and "trying on" folk signs and fortune-telling, a woman will be able to assume with a high probability the birth of a baby of one sex or another. Even if the result does not coincide with reality, a kind of game will brighten up leisure and strengthen relations between future parents. 70-80% of couples manage to find out by signs the sex of the child.
