Most young parents today want two children, a boy and a girl, perfect, but in fact some of them do not get that way. Four girls in a row and hoping the next one will be a boy or vice versa. While some parents will be happy with either gender, some are desperately searching for methods to influence whether their child will be a girl or a boy. The ethics of it are for you to decide, the fact remains that there are natural methods you can use to increase the chance of having a baby of specific gender that you want.

The methods are very simple and logic, they are centered on the fact that it is men who determine the gender of the baby. Men carry two chromosomes, an X chromosome and a Y chromosome. So men can contribute X sperms and Y sperms. Only one sperm is needed to fertilize the egg cell. X sperms are necessary to create a girl and Y sperms are necessary for a boy. By knowing and understanding these differences, you can manipulate (in natural way) certain conditions in women’s body to creating a suitable environment for certain type of sperms to outshine the other type and reach the women’s egg cell first.

Naturally X sperms require a more acidic environment while Y sperms require an alkaline environment. The pH levels of women’s body will determine how thick the cervical discharge is and whether or not the desired sperms will be able to get through successfully. And each type of sperm also has its own characteristic.

There are several natural things you can do to create a suitable environment for the sperm you want to survive and reach the main destination. First is the right diet, certain diet will create certain pH level in women’s body, for example you should eat a calcium-rich diet if you want to conceive a baby girl and a potassium-rich diet if you want a baby boy.

The other thing is the right position of intercourse. Ok maybe it is sound silly, but it play a great effect in determine the gender of your baby. This has to do with sperm characteristics. If you want a boy than you need the Y sperms to reach the egg as quickly as possible, because Y sperms are swim slower than X sperms. So you need to put them deep inside as close to the cervix as possible to shortening the trip they must take to reach the egg. Positions that allow for deep penetration are very ideal.

Conversely if you want a girl baby then you need to make it more difficult for Y sperms to reach the target. These mean positions that allow shallow penetration are very ideal, allowing the Y sperms to die off and giving the X sperms the change they need to reach the egg first.

There are still many other methods that you can learn and use to increase the likelihood of having a baby of specific gender. Although the methods do not guarantee a 100% success but they will surely increase the chance of the success.
