Question 1

what's the determing factors of my  chances of having  a baby girl??

Accepted Answer

Pretty much random: While you may read that timing of intercourse and the use of particular douches may help determine the sex of the baby, these interventions have a very modest, if any influence.  Short of in vitro methods where either a particular sperm can be selected or the sex determined at a very early stage, there is no reliable method to determine the sex of your baby ahead of time.

Question 2

my wife and i have a baby boy already but we are now looking for a baby girl. what can we do to increase the chances of having a baby girl?

Accepted Answer

50/50: You will have a 50% chance of success with your plan.  There are many myths about what can and cannot influence the gender of a child, but the only way to guarantee it is to have artificial insemination after genetic testing.  Barring that, you have a 50% chance of providing her an x chromosome from dad, and a 100% chance of providing one from mom.

Question 3

hello, am interested in having a baby girl please help,i have 3 boys and i want a baby girl this round?

Accepted Answer

: Targeting the sex of a baby can be done but may not be ethical and would be expensive. You could opt for in-vitro fertilization (test tube baby) and ask the doctor to implant only female embryos.

Question 4

my wife having pain in her middle of feet from last few months, we are having a baby girl of 11 months. she is also having minor thelasemia.plz help?

Accepted Answer

Plantar fasciatis: Sounds like plantar fasciitis. She may need to see a podiatrist if it is severe enough. Here is some information:

Question 5

what makes it clear that 1 is having a baby girl other than absence of a penis? ultrasoundist thought it may be girl at 15 weeks but maybe penis hidden

Accepted Answer

Accuracy is difficlt: You can get a more accurate assessment of a fetal sex by testing the cells floating in the bag of waters for its chromosome pattern. That is riskier than an ultrasound as would be cvs=taking placental cells.Ultrasound is so routine now that the extra benefit of early gender assessment is often all some people pay attention too. I advise moms not to invest in a wardrobe based on us.

Question 6

sir or madam, already we r having a baby girl 2 years 2 months. next time we r planning for a baby boy, for that how to conceive a baby boy give me som?

Accepted Answer

50%: While some people swear there are methods to ensure either a boy or girl, there is no science to support this. The chance of having a boy is really 50%.

Question 7

i am trying to conceive but how do i increase the chances of having a baby girl?

Accepted Answer

Can't: There is no natural way to do this. A fertility doctor could talk more with you about ways to perhaps increase your chances suing treatment interventions.

Question 8

can heat kill male sperm? are female sperm less susceptible to heat? what are some things to do to promote having a baby girl?

Accepted Answer

No sure way.: There is no way to "promote" a specific gender.  Despite all sorts of gimmicks out there, there is nothing you can do to increase the likelihood of having a boy or girl baby. Save your money.  Also, prejudice against a certain gender is not good at all!. You need to work on this before having a child, so that the child (and you) don't suffer if the gender is not what you wished.

Question 9

can you tell me what it mean if the alanine level is slightly elevated in a 4 mo.girl infant?

Accepted Answer

Why was it tested?: To answer your question, we need to know why the test was ordered.  Common reasons would be as part of testing for an acute illness or for a metabolic disorder. A common test would be for alanine aminotransferase, sometimes called a liver enzyme. "Slight" elevations are common during illnesses but should be rechecked. Another 'cause' for an elevation is the use of normal values for adults.

Question 10

when is the right time to start solids for babies. any signs i should be aware of? my baby girl is 5 and a half months now.

Accepted Answer

Start of solids: The american academy of pediatrics recommends 6 months. A more flexible schedule is 3-6 months or 13-16 pounds, whichever comes first.
