This phrase tops the hit parade of questions that every self-respecting person will surely ask a pregnant interlocutor. Then, with the look of an artist, he will step back a couple of steps, look at her belly, weigh the pros and cons, and give out his conclusion. From the popular: if the abdomen is not visible from the back - a guy, if blurred on the sides - a girl. To check if the people's experts are right, we asked mothers of children of different sexes to compare their feelings.
Top 10 folk signs:
1. Girl 👧 "takes away" mother's beauty.
2. With the boy, he is drawn to meat and salty, with the girls, serve cakes and ice cream.
3. The girl's expectant mother loses her waist, her belly spreads to the sides, the boys' mothers have a sharp tummy and almost invisible from the back.
4. Nausea in the first trimester - a girl, late toxicosis or its absence - a boy.
5. Girls have a heart rate of more than 140 beats per minute.
6. If the right breast is larger than the left, you will have a boy. 👦
7. You sleep on your right side and head to the north - there will be a princess, with a boy on the contrary.
8. Women who are expecting a boy grow hair faster. Everywhere.
9. Feet are cold - wait for a girl.
10. If the child often and actively moves - like a guy.
Will accept a lot, and sometimes they are absurdly ridiculous. For example, a popular hit: if mom during conception behaved more actively than dad, then there will be a boy. Where can you read about the activity scale? Or how do you like this: if you eat garlic and you don't smell, there will be a girl? Or: if dad is bald, will there be a boy? Finally, boys are waiting for all the dads - lovers of loose family panties!
” Many omens are discredited from a medical point of view. The shape of the abdomen is influenced by a whole list of factors: the position of the fetus, the condition of the abdominal wall, muscle tone, what kind of pregnancy is in order and, most importantly, the features of the mother's physique. And the sex of the child has nothing to do with it!
A psychologist shared her thoughts on this topic:
The topic of the gender of the child has always been exciting, in many ways also because until the moment of birth there was no way to get an exact answer who will be born after all. This information has become more or less available only in the last 2-3 decades. Therefore, people observed, compared and drew conclusions. Everyone wanted certainty: would the family have a new employee or would a dowry be prepared. Of course, it was impossible to predict sex with a 100% probability based on external signs. But if the midwives examined the woman in labor, pronounced the verdict that there would be a boy: the belly is elongated, does not swell, the blush on her cheeks has not lost, she gained a little weight, and a daughter was born ... What can this mean in a remote village 200-300 years ago? Not otherwise, the devil intervened, with all the ensuing consequences.
And even now, when it is already possible to know the answer in advance, there is more harm than good from all these superstitions. For example, a family really wants a boy or a girl. They try to follow signs, put in extra effort, for example, choose certain positions that are optimal for conceiving a child of the required gender, or try to choose “good” dates. In this case, it is likely that the pregnant woman will be more anxious than she could. But this will not be connected at all with the gender of the child she is wearing, but with personal prejudices that are actualized during pregnancy.
, mom of Roma and Anisya
There were no significant differences. Well, it wasn't! The toxicosis is the same, they kicked the same way, the belly was the same - with a girl it was even more "boyish" by signs than with a boy. Now I don't believe in omens. I wore both for 41 weeks, did not experience any problems. Only the feeling of happiness is the same. The only difference - with Roma, I always wanted sushi, and with Anisya - sweet.
, mother of Masha and Lenya
Have you also heard about the "tummy with a cucumber or apple", about the fact that a pregnant girl wants strawberries, and a pregnant boy wants meat? Precisely speaking, from a physiological point of view, everything is the same: you are a steamer, you always want to kill at the same time with your hands, from time to time you want to breathe by the exhaust pipe of a car and eat lime, washed down with brut champagne. There are no "mothers of boys look attractive, and girls take away all beauty from mothers", you-dum-ki! All pregnant women look the same! Of course, equally beautiful.
The myth about beauty is sometimes explained by the fact that a girl needs more female hormones, and a pregnant woman ceases to have enough of them. Age spots, swelling and other "charms" appear. But you can become "ugly" simply by stopping caring for yourself. If you have the strength to care, then pregnancy is our helper. Expectant mothers drink vitamins, calcium, getting more nutrients than usual. Therefore, the hair shines, the face becomes blush, the nails grow stronger, the skin shines. And what does the sex of the child have to do with it?
, mother of Alexandra and Ivan
Both pregnancies were completely different: the first with my daughter proceeded easily, I glowed and flew like on wings, but my facial features completely changed, my nose increased three times, in general I was a different person. Well, I gained 25 kg. The second pregnancy, with my son, although very long-awaited and desired, was given to me very hard. Constantly something hurt, there was some kind of stupid feeling of anxiety. I really wanted everything to end faster. Outwardly, although I gained the same 25 kg, it did not change much. The nose remained in the same place, and the stomach "moved" forward. With my daughter, he was three times larger and seemed to blur on the sides. And one more thing: in my first pregnancy, I did not even know what toxicosis is, it was even a little offensive. But all his charms were fully felt in the second.
Sometimes doctors assume that mothers of boys are more susceptible to toxicosis, since a woman's body is easier to adapt to pregnancy with a child of the same sex. But life shows that scenarios can be very different.
, mom Varya and Styopa
We spent our first pregnancy in a sushi restaurant. The second time I didn't want to. Perhaps because I just didn't want to. I was not attracted to salty both times, but she ate fresh tomatoes in kilograms. By the way, about the kilograms. With the girl, I gained weight from the first days and systematically gained my own. The second time the weight gain went from 20 weeks, but the main reason was angina at the beginning of the period, when I lost weight. But in general, by the end of the term the bill was the same. Perhaps that is why (or maybe a folk omen nevertheless worked here - a girl takes beauty away from her mother) I looked more attractive with my son. Well, at least weeks until 25. A dubious compliment, when, looking at you, they exclaim: are you expecting a girl, apparently?
The shape of the abdomen is also very interesting. For the first time, everyone around me was talking about a "boy" belly. And they wanted to spit on the ultrasound results. They were ready to argue that a boy would eventually be born. Once a man unknown to me assured me that I was going to face a hero. The second time it turned out that my belly was more "boyish", and now for sure. I was expecting a girl both times.
, Max and Aliska's mom
There were differences. My son gained 10-11 kg. The stomach was sharp, from the back it was not visible that. With my daughter, an increase of 19 kg, and began to grow in the area of \u200b\u200bthe sides. The belly was much larger and rounder. Even strangers said during my second pregnancy that I had noticeably grown ugly, and even before the ultrasound scan, they believed that I would have a 100% girl.
Today we do not need to guess about the child's gender on the coffee grounds. We have ultrasound machines, although even they do not always guarantee a 100% result. The most accurate method for determining the sex of an unborn child is an expensive DNA test. And everything depends on which sperm was faster: the carrier of the X or Y chromosome, and not on the bald head of the future dad and his family cowards.

Every couple expecting a baby wants, after receiving a positive test, to find out who will be born a boy or a girl, the baby gender determination table helps to find the answer. These tables were developed in China and Japan. Modern medicine adheres to a different version of the development of the sex of the fetus.
Science opinion
Traditional doctors do not recognize the table "boy or girl". Neither the month in which you conceived the baby, nor the date of birth of the parents are important. Science says: the sex of the baby is determined by which chromosome the sperm contained, which managed to penetrate the egg. A boy is obtained if it was a Y chromosome, a girl will be born if it was an X chromosome.
Sperm with the Y-chromosome move more actively than their counterparts, but die faster than they do. Therefore, the likelihood of conceiving a male child increases if the intimacy was on the eve of ovulation. If it happened earlier, X-sperm survive, which means that the girl's fetus will develop.
Determine the gender using a table from Japan
Our ancestors did not know about chromosomes. It helped to understand whether a pregnant young woman would have a boy or a girl from the table that they made while observing young couples. The Japanese table takes into account the months in which the future father and his pregnant wife were born, as well as the same month when the child was conceived. These parameters help to find out if a couple is expecting a boy or a girl.
The birthday of the future mother is in April, the man was born in September. The number of their pair is 120.
In the next part of the large table, find the number of the couple and the month the baby was conceived. If you conceived in August, and the number of couples is 120, then the girl will be born with a 90% probability.
Using this table, you cannot find out with guaranteed reliability, the birth of a baby, what gender you should expect. In most cases, this remains unclear. We are looking for opportunities to determine the sex of the child further.
The table that came from the Land of the Rising Sun can leave unanswered your question about the sex of the baby, which will appear in the future. According to it, you will only know the probability of giving your family a girl or a little boy.
Ancient Chinese way
This table offers more specifics. The month of conception and the age of the pregnant woman are also taken into account. When calculating sex, there are errors, because sometimes it is impossible to determine the month when conception took place.
To understand the gender of the baby, combine the age of the pregnant woman (in full years) and the column for the month of conception. Empty cell: a boy develops and is born, a plus sign indicates a girl. In other words, if the expectant mother was 33 years old, and she conceived in June, then the appearance of a female child is guaranteed.
Age of blood
This table helps to find out the gender of the future young child by the age of the blood of each of the parents. Female blood is rejuvenated every 36 months, and male blood every 48 months. Whoever has fresh blood in your couple for the period of conception, the child of the same sex will be born.
It is easier to understand this with an example: a 24-year-old pregnant woman, a 27-year-old man. Her blood has just renewed, and his blood has renewed three years ago. The blood of a pregnant woman is younger, which means a daughter will be born.
The future sex of the fetus can be predicted by a method that takes into account not the age, but the blood groups of the baby's parents. It is available in the form of a table like this, which is easy to understand.
But you should not completely trust this table for determining the sex, otherwise it would turn out that one couple would have children of only one sex.
The method of determining the sex of a child by blood has a drawback: if one of the couple has survived an operation, a transfusion, then this is an unscheduled rejuvenation of blood and the calculation must be done differently.
Genetics for determining the sex of a child
Use this method of absentee sex determination if from different tables you have received conflicting information about the belonging of the baby that will be born to you to one or another sex. Neither the month of conception nor the date of birth of a pregnant woman matters.
What do we have to do:
- A pregnant woman should list all of her male and female blood relatives;
- The same should be done by the father-to-be. The more relatives you remember, the more reliable data you get about the baby's gender;
- Count which of your couple had more girls in the family, and who had more boys;
- Data from the male side is considered priority. Since only the stronger sex has male chromosomes.
Ultrasound method for determining the sex of the unborn child
When the floor is not yet visible even on the ultrasound, you can already make assumptions. Future male infants have a heart rate of no more than 140 beats per minute. The heart of future girls beats more than 140 times a minute.
Do you believe in omens or not, but from time immemorial certain folk signs have developed that allow you to determine the sex of the unborn child: who will be born - a girl or a boy?
The content of the article:
Every expectant mother is curious, who will be born to her - a girl or a boy? Of course, you can consult a doctor and use ultrasound diagnostics, but most women still trust folk signs. By the way, on an ultrasound scan, the baby may turn the wrong side and see who will be - a boy or a girl - will not be possible, then mothers and fathers do not know the gender of their baby until his birth. On the website, we will give some of the signs that will help you find out the gender of the unborn child.
Wait for a boy if:
- A man loves a woman a little more than she loves him;
- During a woman's pregnancy, her husband begins to gain a lot of weight;
- A pregnant woman is always in a good mood, she is more attractive and prettier;
- Her nose becomes pointed;
- Leg hair grows more actively (scientifically, this is explained by the fact that boys begin to secrete the male sex hormone, which affects accelerated hair growth);
- Legs become colder than before pregnancy, and are more often cold;
- The palms of the hands are drier than before;
- Areolas around the nipples of the breast of the expectant mother become darker;
- More often you want salty and sour foods, as well as cheese, milk and meat;
- Fetal heartbeat - less than 140 beats per minute;
- The pregnant woman has a sharp and protruding tummy.
Wait for a girl if:
- A woman loves her husband more than he loves her;
- A pregnant woman does not eat a crust of bread;
- The vagaries and bad mood of a pregnant woman are often observed;
- The woman looks worse than before pregnancy ("the daughter takes the beauty of her mother");
- The skin on the face becomes too dry;
- Red shades appear in the hair;
- Craves for sweets and fruits;
- The waist of the pregnant woman "blurred";
- Weight gain during pregnancy is concentrated primarily on the buttocks and thighs;
- The volume of the breast increases, and the left one is slightly larger than the right one;
- Fetal heartbeat - more than 140 beats per minute;
- Constantly sick in the morning, especially in the first three months of pregnancy;
- The pregnant woman has a wide and round belly, located high.
A few more folk signs
If the weather was dry during conception, then wait for your son, if it is rainy, then there will be a daughter.
If the expectant mother has severe swelling of her legs during pregnancy, then there will be a boy, if not, then a girl.
If the baby pushes in the tummy on the right, then this is the son, and if on the left, then the daughter.
Compare the age of the mother and the year of conception: two numbers turned out to be even or both odd, then a daughter should be born. If one number is even and the other odd, then there will be a son.
According to popular belief, you can also influence the gender of the unborn child. So, if a woman lies down with her head to the north during conception, then there will be a son, and if to the south, then there will be a daughter.
If a family wants a daughter, then a woman should eat more sweets a few months before conception, but if they want a son, then more salty and sour.
Remember passion - this was also talked about a long time ago! The greater the mutual passion between the parents at the time of conception, the more talented and more beautiful your baby or baby will be. Therefore, love each other as much as possible, passionately and with all your soul!
May your daughters and sons be born healthy, smart and beautiful, and will grow to your joy!
Video about folk signs of determining the sex of a child:
Science does not stand still and you can find out the gender of your unborn child long before childbirth. The ultrasound method is quite informative, in addition, diagnostic test strips, similar to pregnancy tests, began to appear. However, every pregnant woman, whether she wants it or not, meets with "folk" signs regarding the sex of the unborn baby.
Signs of a boy or girl during pregnancy
- If the expectant mother suffers from toxicosis, then there will be a boy, if not, then a girl.
During pregnancy as a girl, I really felt the manifestations of toxicosis, but not strong, morning sickness and vomiting only a few times. Expecting the boy, I did not notice absolutely any manifestations. So, miss.
- A woman often sleeps on her left side - there will be a boy, if on the right side - a girl.
I don't remember at all on which side I slept while waiting for my daughter, but while waiting for my son I like to sleep on the right side. Another mistake.
- Pregnant boys have a better appetite and prefer salty, sour, dairy and meat products. Pregnant girls have a poor appetite, most often they eat sweets, desserts, and pastries. At the same time, boys gain more weight than girls.
As for me, there were no special advantages in nutrition before and during pregnancy, the only thing is that I began to consume more dairy products, but this goes without saying - they contain calcium. Plus, in the last weeks of pregnancy (38-41) I really wanted sweets. Here, in general, I did not notice the difference between a boy and a girl. The only thing that matched was the weight gained. With a girl a little less than 10 kg, and with a boy over 12.
- If a woman has a good and calm mood - there will be a boy, if she is nervous and has frequent mood changes - most likely she is waiting for a girl.
That's exactly what happened to me. Although personally, I associate the mood not so much with the gender of the child as with the order of pregnancy. In any case, if you are doing something for the first time, then you feel nervous, and if not, you feel confident and calm.
- A pregnant boy is accompanied by frequent and severe headaches.
I do not know what exactly this is connected with, but it was exactly like that. In general, I do not suffer from such pains, but during a boy's pregnancy, they gave me trouble more than once.
Who will be a girl or a boy signs with a belly
- If the abdomen is sharp, wait for a boy, if round, wait for a girl.
In fact, the shape of the abdomen does not depend on the sex of the child, but on its placement, as well as the placement of the placenta. If the placenta is on the front wall of the uterus, then the tummy will be sharp, if on the back it will be rounded. This omen came true for me, especially if you know that the placenta with the girl was on the back wall, and with the boy - on the front.
- If the heartbeat is up to 140 beats / min. - Probably give birth to a boy, if over 140 - a girl.
My daughter had an increased heart rate all the time, even more than 160 beats / min, which is the upper limit of the norm. My son's heart really worked slower than 132-136 beats.
- The baby in the tummy pushes more in the upper abdomen, along the liver - a boy, if in the lower, along the bladder - a girl.
Both of mine pushed me more often in the liver, and very rarely down the abdomen.
Boy or girl folk signs during pregnancy
There are also folk signs associated with the future dad. As for me, this is generally absurd. If dad has a thick head of hair, wait for a girl; if there are bald patches, wait for a boy. A little more than 2 years have passed between our pregnancies and our dad, or rather his hair, has not changed at all. In any case, he was definitely not bald. There are a lot of similar ones. I am sure that the grandmothers will tell you about the upcoming sex of the child by the color and smell of urine, by the time, place and position at the moment of conception, twirl a wedding ring suspended by a thread over your palm, calculate according to Chinese tables and by blood renewal.
Take it all as a joke or as a fun pastime. Perhaps you will be provided with the sex of the child correctly, because there are actually not so many options. So don't worry about it. In fact, no matter who you were predicted to and whom you gave birth to (for example, even, according to signs, a girl and a boy by ultrasound), taking a child in your arms and squeezing him for the first time in your arms, you do not care. After all, now you have the most precious creature in the world!
Signs against reality: Video of what happened
Folk signs of determining the sex of a child are a huge layer of the cultural heritage of the Slavs. In Russia, they were used by more than one generation of women in labor. Therefore, mothers can find out in advance what name to choose for the future child - male or female.
Ultrasound or folk beliefs
There are a number of signs that make it possible to predict the sex of offspring before conception. However, few people take them seriously. Why torture yourself with guesses? 
The gestation period is suitable for finding information on how to find out the sex of the baby. Folk omens and predictions, calendars of conception, the results of ultrasound diagnostics, fortune-telling and psychics allow you to answer an exciting question.
Seeing two long-awaited strips on the pregnancy test device, a happy woman begins to dream: what the baby will be like, how she and her husband will choose toys for the child. She, like her future father, wants to know who heaven will give - a mischievous little boy or a kind, smiling little girl.
Modern methods of ultrasound examination in 90% of cases give the correct result in determining the sex of the embryo, however, it is possible to distinguish the genitals on the screen of the apparatus not earlier than the 12th week after fertilization, and the final verdict can be obtained after the 19th week.
Sometimes the little man turns so that the doctor cannot see anything.
Do you want to know the answer as soon as possible? Signs for pregnant women on the sex of the child or. And ultrasound will confirm or deny popular predictions.
This method is thousands of years old. It shouldn't be ignored.
Signs of the sex of a child during pregnancy can be divided into the following categories:
- by external changes (position of the abdomen, darkening of the nipple halo, gait);
- on the movement and activity of the fetus;
- on the behavior of a pregnant woman in certain conditions;
- according to the taste preferences of the future mother (before and after conception);
- dreams of a woman in labor;
- on the relationship of partners (who is the leader, frequency of sex).
During the meal, the pregnant woman choked - ask her to say at random the number up to 33. Determine the correspondence of the number to the letter of the alphabet (1-a, 2-b, 3-c ...), and the woman in labor will spontaneously call a name for this letter. Female - a girl will be born, male - a boy.
