Patient's question:
How can I have a second child who is a boy? Hello! I want to ask how to have a second child who is a boy. My wife is pregnant, and my mother insists that I calculate whether it will be a boy or a girl. I said there is no basis for this, but they don't believe me. How can I have a second child who is a boy?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Although fetal gender is determined by male sex chromosomes, the baby's gender and the mother's diet before pregnancy may have a certain relationship. Women who are pregnant can eat more bananas and foods rich in potassium, calcium, vitamin C, etc. They should also eat more alkaline foods, which increases the chance of having a son. Certain dietary habits may lead to higher glucose levels in pregnant women, which might be more favorable for sperm carrying the Y chromosome to survive. This is because these foods balance the body's acid-base level, making the body alkaline and increasing the chances of sperm Y successfully fertilizing the egg.
