A study from Exeter University shows that we can help determine the sex of our children by watching what we eat during the pregnancy. “If you want a boy, eat a healthy diet with a high calorie intake, including breakfast” says Fiona Mathews. But for women who are already too heavy, gaining too much weight during the pregnancy can increase health risks; like high blood pressure. Even though it’s a wrong thing to do, women who really want a girl are more likely to go on a low-calorie plan and that could harm the development of the foetus as well as the mother’s health. So it’s possible to have the child that you want, but there are some strings attached...

So this article says that you can have an influence on the sex of your unborn child. Basically it says when you eat a lot of calories and have breakfast during your pregnancy you MIGHT get a boy and if you go on a low calorie plan you MIGHT have a chance of having a daughter. After the dieting the only thing you can do is hope that the foetus is going to be healthy!!! This research should be viewed with caution, because even though it sound great, “getting the child you want” it comes with a lot of dangers not just for the baby but also for the mother. Personally, I don’t think the research findings are flawless, after all Victoria Beckham has three bonny boys she was as “skinny” during her pregnancy.
