I heard a long time ago that the gender of the baby you’re carrying in your belly can have different characteristics on your mom.
So, what are the characteristics that indicate that a pregnant mother is carrying a boy in her belly? The following is a list of the characteristics of a pregnant woman.
After reading this article, I believe you have a good idea of the sex of your baby.
Say #1: Pregnant moms who eat more cereal before pregnancy are more likely to have boys
Scientists at the University of Exeter and Oxford University followed the dietary patterns of 740 women, asking them to provide details of their weekly diet before and after pregnancy, including the amount of food and nutrients, such as potassium, VC, VE etc.
Scientists at the University of Exeter and the University of Oxford in the UK followed the dietary patterns of 740 women, according to China Radio International. They were asked to provide details of their diets before and after pregnancy on a weekly basis, including the amount of food and nutrients such as potassium, VC, VE, etc.
The study found that women who had a breakfast based on cereals such as cereal and cornflakes had a much larger percentage of boys than they did daughters
. Fifty-nine percent of women who had a high-energy breakfast as their mainstay during pregnancy gave birth to boys. In contrast, only 43% of women who had a non-cereal-based breakfast gave birth to boys.
Expert interpretation: The results of this study further confirm that there is a link between diet and fetal sex. So, if you want to decide whether to have a boy or a girl, you need to pay attention to your pre-pregnancy diet.

Claim #2: Masculine professions make pregnant moms more likely to have boys
New research shows that masculine professions such as engineers or accountants greatly increase the chances of pregnant women giving birth to boys.
New research suggests that working in a masculine profession such as engineer or accountant greatly increases the chances of a pregnant woman giving birth to a boy.
The London School of Economics came to this conclusion by surveying 3,000 people in a variety of professions, and it was published in the Journal of Theoretical Biology. The study’s leader, psychologist Satosi Kanazawa of the University of Canterbury in New Zealand, found that among people in masculine occupations such as engineers, the ratio of boys to girls was 140 to 100.
Experts explain that women in masculine occupations have higher levels of testosterone in their uterus during fertilization, thus increasing the likelihood that the fetus will be male.

Claim 3: Aggressive women are more likely to have boys
Researchers have found that strong, confident, aggressive women are more likely to have boys than meek women. Scientists have determined that there are differences in the levels of testosterone in female mammalian eggs, and that eggs with higher testosterone levels are more likely to produce male embryos. And the amount of testosterone in a woman’s body is strongly associated with dominant personality strength.
The discovery that the mammalian world also has a “queen bee” syndrome that determines the sex of offspring is indeed the latest research to challenge the conventional wisdom that “it’s all about the odds”. The newest research is indeed a challenge to the traditional view that “it’s all about the odds”. She believes that the determination of the sex of the offspring is not necessarily limited to whether the dominant male Y chromosome or the dominant female X chromosome prevails at the time of sperm-egg union.
Expert comment: The testosterone level in the female mammalian egg determines how well it receives the sperm of the primary “male”. It is possible that the outer layer of the egg has been pre-programmed to accept X or Y sperm.

Claim #4: Husbands are more likely to have boys when they are around
The latest scientific research shows that pregnant women who have husbands with them are more likely to have boys.
In a study of 86,436 pregnant women, Dr. Karen Norberg, a medical expert with the National Bureau of Economic Research, found that mothers were 14 percent more likely to have a boy if their parents lived together until the child was born than if they lived alone.
Dr. Norberg’s research shows that the sex of a baby is independent of the parents’ wishes, independent of their age, education, income, and race, and independent of the year of birth.
As early as 1874, Charles Darwin found that a lower proportion of babies born out of wedlock were male; more recently, studies in Kenya have shown that in polygamous marriages, wives have a lower proportion of boys. Not only that, in the last 30 years, developed countries such as the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom have seen an unexplained plunge in the proportion of male babies, and notably, the same period was also the peak of the emergence of single mothers. The scientific community has been puzzled by these phenomena, and now Dr. Norberg’s research offers some scientific explanations for these problems.
Experts explain: The results of this study are preliminary proof of a long-standing idea that lifestyle affects the sex of offspring.

Claim 5: Pregnant moms with good memories are more likely to have boys
A new study by Canadian researchers found that pregnant women who carry boys are less likely to be forgetful than those who carry girls
This finding was made by Neil Watson, a professor of psychology at SimonFraserUniversity in Canada, and his team of researchers.
They said they found evidence that pregnant women carrying boys performed better than pregnant women carrying girls on all three measures of auditory, numerical and visual memory when they investigated the effects of pregnancy on women’s cognitive abilities.
Watson’s team reportedly followed a group of pregnant women for 18 months, from the time they first became pregnant until a few months after they gave birth, during which time the researchers gave them eight separate tests of memory and other related tests.
The results showed that those who had male babies did significantly better than those who had female babies, and they did the same after they gave birth.
Experts have shown that the results initially suggest that male and female embryos have an effect on maternal cognitive ability and that there are “important unknowns” related to differences in maternal cognitive ability and the sex of the embryo.
Claim 6: The longer the preconception period, the more likely you are to have a boy
Researchers led by epidemiologist Luc Schmitz of Maastricht University in the Netherlands surveyed 5,283 women who had given birth and found that 498 of them took more than a year to conceive, and they had 58% of boys; while those who conceived in less than a year had 58% of boys. Those women who conceived in less than a year had a 51 percent chance of having a boy.
The researchers concluded that globally, there have been more male births than female births. This is because sperm with the Y chromosome are smaller and more flexible, so they are more likely to cross the cervical mucus and bind to the egg. And previous studies have found that the viscosity of a woman’s cervical mucus varies from person to person, with the higher the viscosity the less likely she is to get pregnant.
Experts explain that women with higher cervical mucus have difficulty conceiving, but over a longer period of time, sperm with Y chromosomes are more likely to cross the cervix and bind to the egg, so they have a better chance of having a boy.
