How to Conceive a Baby Girl ?

Whether they admit it or not most of the couples have preference for a particular gender in giving birth to the child. Some prefer a baby boy while others prefer a baby girl. Human right exponents often raise the question whether it is right to have a preference. The fact remains that it is all a matter of emotional state and people will have the preferences irrespective of the time, location, and their past histories. That is why we find that around 80% of the people have a preference for one gender or other. 84% of the prospective parents have their ultrasound checking conducted to know the gender of the baby. Good thing about these tests is that it diminishes the extent of regret when the child born is not one from the preferred gender.

Normally women prefer daughters while men prefer to have sons. However the trend is not universal. There are women who prefer sons and men who prefer to have daughters as well. Again the couples who are already blessed with a child of one gender prefer their second child to be of the other gender. When you have a boy you crave for a girl and vice versa. This also makes the family really balanced in terms of gender.

How is the sex of the unborn babies determined? Popular myth is that women determine the sex of her child. You should learn the truth that is contrary to such belief. Every woman has eggs containing X chromosomes. When the sperm that fertilizes one of those eggs contain another X chromosome you will get a baby girl in result. On the other hand when the sperm that fertilizes the eggs contain Y chromosome, the result will be a baby boy.

During ejaculation by a man around 200-400 million sperms are released inside the vagina of the woman. Some of the sperms carry X and others carry Y chromosome. The egg can be fertilized by one single sperm. Theories relating to conceiving a girl are ordinarily based on the belief that the couple might be able to create an environment where the X chromosome gets an advantageous position and give birth to a girl baby. Like in case of trying for a baby boy you can use the Shettles method to get a baby girl. In this method the gender selection requires that a girl should have sex every day from the day when the period ends till at least up to three days before ovulation.

And whatever method you use, it is always better to have the doctor’s advice before indulging into any attempt to conceive a baby girl.
