Is fetal sex determination related to mother's health?

Introduction: The baby's sex is mainly related to the male Y chromosome, but you may not know that the mother's health will affect the ability and probability of accepting the Y chromosome. According to research, women's blood pressure, eating habits and stress levels will affect the sex of the fetus, and even fertility, which will lead to female infertility.

1. How does the mother affect the sex of the fetus? 1, pre-pregnancy blood pressure According to research, the pre-pregnancy blood pressure level of women may determine the sex of the fetus. A study pointed out that women with low blood pressure may give birth to girls, while women with high blood pressure may give birth to boys. However, there is no study showing that the increase or decrease of blood pressure will affect the results.

2. The study of lifestyle and eating habits shows that women who eat high-nutrient food before pregnancy are prone to have boys, but the diet during pregnancy has no effect on gender. Studies have shown that women who often eat high-calorie foods are more likely to have boys.

The mother's health will affect the baby's sex. 3. Your partner's family history If there are more boys in your partner's family than girls, you also have a higher chance of having boys. This is a genetic factor. In other words, if your partner has more brothers, you are more likely to have boys. On the contrary, if he has more sisters, you are more likely to have a girl.

4. Mom's stress level If you keep calm often, you are more likely to have a son. On the contrary, if your stress level is higher, you are more likely to have a daughter. This is because the Y chromosome cannot survive for a long time under high pressure. In other words, stress affects hormones and makes it easier for mothers to accept the X chromosome.

Second, how to improve the health status before conception? 1, healthy food intake In order to improve fertility and ensure the baby's health in the future, you should prepare yourself from before pregnancy. Therefore, eat healthy food, such as vegetables, fruits and healthy fat.

2, regular exercise habits exercise does not harm the body, whether you want to have children or not. So you should keep regular exercise habits, increase the oxygen content of cells and make your body healthier.

3. Reduce the stress level Although research shows that stress will affect the sex of a child, reducing the stress level is not to give birth to a boy, but to increase the chances of pregnancy. Excessive stress levels can lead to infertility.

4. Stay away from bad habits. Smoking, alcohol and drugs will affect your health, prevent you from having a healthy baby and even lead to infertility. So, you should stay away from these bad habits.

5. Regular health check-ups If you are over 30 years old, or have sexual experience at a very young age, it is best to have regular cervical smears, ultrasound or hysteroscopy to ensure that your uterine environment is healthy.
