An expectant mom can now easily know her baby's gender by undergoing a sonogram examination or amniocentesis. In addition to that, there are also some other unconventional ways to determine a baby's gender, some of them are included in this article in order to give you some ideas.
According to some experts in this field, the types of food that pregnant women crave more often will indicate her baby's gender. It is believed that if a mother craves salty foods, there is a very high probability that she will be having a baby boy. On the other hand, if she craves for sweet foods, then most likely she will be having a baby girl.
Baby's heart beat
Determining baby gender can also be done through how fast the baby's heart is beating. At your usual prenatal check up, your health care provider will be able to tell you the beats per minute. If it happens to be over 140, it is believed that you are going to have a girl and if it is under 140 then you will be having a baby boy.
Position of mother's bump
One of the most well known unconventional ways of knowing a baby's gender has to do with the mother's bump on her belly. You will be expecting a baby girl if the bump is high and vice versa if it is a boy. However, you have to take into account that science tells us that the bump position is attributed to uterine muscles and the position of the baby.
Determining baby gender surely brings a feeling of excitement to the expectant parents; however, it is best that you do it in a scientifically based way in order not to be disappointed with the end result just in case the outcome didn't match your expectation.
