Popular myths about predicting the sex of baby
It has since always been a favorite time pass for pregnant women to guess the sex of their baby. While you can definitely find out about the sex of the baby through tests, it is not possible to predict your baby gender even with the baby gender predictor tool. The result will not be 100% accurate but don’t be surprised, most of the time people are satisfied with the result. There are certain myths in circulation about gender prediction. Here we will take a look at 3 of them.
Heartbeat
It is believed that if the heartbeat of the mother is less than 140 then it will be a baby boy and if the heartbeat exceeds 140, it will be a baby girl. Although this myth has been quite popular yet there is only one particular study that favors it. The study was conducted at the University of Kentucky in 1993 which concluded that this sex prediction method is true for 91% of baby boys and 74% of baby girls.
Food Likeliness
The food myth states that if the pregnant woman has a high tendency of likeliness towards sweets like chocolate etc., she will give birth to a baby girl while a tendency towards salty foods can depict the presence of a baby boy. This myth is particularly untrue because some people like sweets. According to this myth, they may never be able to have cha a baby boy but this is not true and scientifically there are equal chances having either a baby girl or a baby boy.
Fetus Activity
The activity of a fetus inside the uterus has always ignited discussions among the obstetricians and doctors. This myth is based on an assumption that boys are more active inside the uterus while the girls are more placid. If the baby inside the belly shows more movements then it will be a baby and if it stays calm mostly, it will be a girl. This myth is also untrue because the movements of the baby inside the uterus depend on many other factors and this myth is not in them.
