Predicting baby’s gender: a collection of folk guessing methods
Whether to give birth to a boy or a girl has always been an important concern for pregnant women and families. Many parents hope that their baby will be a handsome boy or a cute girl. Although modern science and technology can control the baby\’s gender through artificial reproduction, there are still many folk prediction methods for boys and girls. This article will introduce some common methods.
Listen to body language: prediction from the physical characteristics of pregnant women
Pregnant women\’s physical characteristics include size, weight, belly shape, etc. According to folklore, these characteristics can predict the gender of the baby. For example, if a pregnant woman\’s belly is as round as a watermelon, it indicates that she will give birth to a boy; if her belly is large and sagging, it means that she will give birth to a girl. In addition, the frequency of fetal movements, dietary preferences, and mental state of pregnant women during pregnancy are also considered to be related to the gender of the baby. However, scientists point out that the reasons for changes in a pregnant woman\’s body are more complex, and it is impossible to 100% predict the gender of the baby based on physical characteristics alone.
Check historical documents: divination prediction method, inference method based on birth month and birth year
In ancient China, folk divination prediction was a widely used method to predict whether a boy or girl would be born. It is said that the baby\’s gender is related to the couple\’s horoscopes and can be predicted based on the parents\’ birth horoscopes. In addition, the method of calculating the baby\’s gender based on the zodiac sign and the solar calendar is also widely circulated. For example, if the baby is born in the first month of the lunar calendar, it is likely to be a boy; if the baby is born in June, it is likely to be a girl. However, this method has a high error rate and is not completely reliable.
Listen: listen to heartbeat, listen to pulse prediction
Folk methods for predicting a baby\’s gender are often inseparable from \”listening.\” Listening to fetal heartbeat is a way to early detect the baby\’s health, and some people have linked it to predicting the baby\’s gender. Generally speaking, a baby with a fast heartbeat is considered a boy, while a slow heartbeat is considered a girl. Listening to the pulse is another folk method, and it is said that just listening to it once can predict success. However, scientists point out that these two methods only rely on traditional folk sayings and have no scientific basis, so there is still an error rate.
Test, test, test: Use technological equipment to predict
In addition to traditional folk prediction methods, modern technology can also help accurately predict the gender of the baby. Commonly used methods include ultrasonic testing, genetic testing, etc. Ultrasound testing can provide accurate fetal gender information, but taking into account factors such as maternal health and fetal development, this method is not suitable for all situations. Genetic testing can provide more accurate gender information by analyzing fetal DNA sequences, but the high cost of testing may prohibit many families.
Summary
Whether it is a boy or a girl is an important issue that families are concerned about. Whether it is traditional folk guessing methods or modern technological equipment, they can provide a certain degree of prediction accuracy. However, to predict the gender of your baby with 100% accuracy, you still need to wait for the obvious manifestations after delivery. Therefore, when it comes to the gender of your baby, you should try to maintain a calm and optimistic attitude to make your pregnancy healthier and more enjoyable.
