Girl or boy: omens for pregnant women. Whom to expect - a boy or a girl?

When the shock and joy of the news of pregnancy subside a little, curiosity takes over. Parents certainly want to know who they will have - a girl or a boy. Signs, of course, cannot guarantee an accurate result. Nevertheless, they allow you to at least somehow satisfy your curiosity before an ultrasound scan. And sometimes, if the position of the child does not allow to consider sex, this is the only way out.

External signs that a boy will be born

The appearance of the future mother is considered one of the main indicators of who will be born: a girl or a boy. The signs indicating that the male fetus are as follows:

• neat and small belly, which is not visible from the back (it does not blur along the sides, but rather protrudes forward);
• the right chest is much larger than the left;
• the stomach has an elongated, conical shape;
• light areola of the nipples;
• dry skin prone to peeling;
• awkward, heavy gait;
• hair on the head grows quickly, becoming thick and shiny;
• a lot of unwanted vegetation appeared on the body (associated with the production of male sex hormones);
• the figure remains almost as slender as before pregnancy;
• breast size has not changed;
• point of nose and cheekbones sharpened.

External signs that a girl will be born

If the child does not want to show his gender, by how the appearance of the future mother changes, you can determine whether a girl or boy will be born. The signs of a female child are as follows:

• with the growth of the abdomen, the waist disappears and unattractive sides appear;
• the left chest is much larger than the right;
• the tummy has a regular rounded shape;
• dark areola of the nipples;
• stretch marks appeared in the abdomen and chest;
• soft and fresh skin;
• light gait and graceful movements;
• the appearance of pigmentation on the skin;
• the chest has become larger by several sizes;
• the main share of excess weight falls on the hips and buttocks;
• the hair on the head has become dull and falls out severely;
• facial features became less clear.

What do the Japanese say?

The Japanese believe in the magic of numbers. They believe that the gender of the baby is affected by the dates of birth of the parents, as well as the time of conception. If you are wondering how to find out who will be, boy or girl, use the Japanese method, which involves the use of two tables.

The first contains the months of birth of men (MRM) and women (GRM). At the intersection is a certain number that you have to find.

Next, to understand who to expect, a boy or a girl, you need to use the second table. At the intersection of the date you determined and the month in which the conception occurred, a clue lurks.

Chinese calendar

The Chinese are also fans of numerology, but they have a slightly different approach to this issue. They have developed their own conception calendar. You can calculate whether a boy or girl will be born to you according to the age of the mother, as well as the month of conception. It is enough to find a cell at the intersection of these indicators to find out the estimated gender of the baby.

It is worth noting that any calendar of conception is based more on statistical data than on a scientific basis. You can certainly calculate whether a boy or girl will be born to you. But it is important to understand that the gender of the child does not depend on the calendar date, but on your biological rhythms, hormonal levels, sperm quality, genetic predisposition and many other factors.

How to find out who will be, boy or girl, by health?

The physical condition of a pregnant woman is usually accompanied by bouts of malaise and weakness, as well as sharp flashes of energy. Despite the fact that this is a normal physiological process, women manage to determine by it who will be - a girl or a boy. The signs are as follows:

• women who are pregnant with boys have frequent headaches, but this is not the case with female embryos;
• if severe toxicosis is observed, most likely a girl should be expected;
• severe dizziness, up to loss of consciousness, can be considered a signal that you are pregnant with a boy;
• if the future mother’s feet began to freeze, wait for the boy, and if they become unusually hot, the girl;
• most women pregnant with boys have severe swelling of their legs;
• if you are constantly thrown into a fever, most likely a female embryo, and if you are chilled with a chill, a male.

• emotional balance and peace of mind indicate that the male embryo, and nervousness and anxiety are characteristic of girls' mothers;
• nervousness and irritability are characteristic of women pregnant with girls;
• if the expectant mother is more comfortable sleeping on her right side, perhaps she is waiting for a girl, and if on her left, a boy;
• future mothers of boys are happy to talk about their situation and show their stomach, and women pregnant with girls are trying in every possible way to hide their position;
• girls' mothers usually want sweets and citrus fruits, and women who expect boys prefer pickles;
• moms of boys during pregnancy usually have increased libido, and women who are waiting for girls do not feel sexual desire.

Embryo behavior

Those who are already preparing or are just planning to become a mother are interested in numerous signs of pregnant women. You can try to determine a boy or girl by paying attention to the behavior of the embryo in the womb. The following statements are most common:

• if the baby is pushing in the lower abdomen, a boy should be expected, and if in the upper, a girl;
• girls usually behave calmly in the womb, but the boys constantly stir and push;
• if in the early stages the heart rate exceeds 140 beats per minute, most likely a girl will be born, since, according to statistics, this indicator is lower for boys;
• if you felt the first movements of the baby on the right, this is a boy, and the girls make themselves felt in the right area.

Boy or girl: signs, ancient beliefs

Hundreds and thousands of years ago, when there was no ultrasound procedure, women were able to accurately determine the gender of the baby. It is worth paying attention to the following signs:

• A string is tied to the wedding ring, and then suspended above the stomach. If it starts to swing around, you should wait for the boy, and if it moves in a circle, most likely there will be a girl.
• If young children are interested in a rounded belly, there will be a girl, and if they are indifferent to changes in your figure, a boy.
• A pregnant woman should eat a clove of garlic or a small onion. If after a while the skin has a specific smell, it is most likely that it is pregnant with a boy.
• Another proven way is to ask a woman to stretch her arms forward. Moms of girls usually do it with palms up.
• Put the curly key on the table and invite the girl to take it. If she grabbed the round part, then there would be a boy. If the woman took the key for the oblong part, there will be a girl.
• If the father of the child is gaining weight, then there will be a boy. Girls dads, as a rule, do not change their shape.
• If there was another child in the family, they paid attention to his first word. If he said “mom,” the next baby is likely to be female, and if “dad,” male.
• If a pregnant woman eats bread crusts, then she will give birth to a boy. Moms of girls prefer to eat a crumb.
