For a family, pregnancy is a thing worth celebrating, for the family to usher in a new life to experience the joy of parenthood, is a lot of people have been looking forward to the thing, with the development of society, people's concepts have also undergone a great change, many people no longer have the concept of son preference, know that the birth of boys and girls are the same.
With the development of the times and the change of concepts, more and more people began to pay attention to the health of their children, and the entanglement of children's gender was less and less, and I believe that most families have got rid of the bad habit of preferring sons to daughters, and no longer tangled in the problem of having boys and girls.
I believe that many people think that the birth of boys and girls is a random phenomenon, but in fact, this statement is very one-sided and not completely correct.
01 Born boys and girls are the same? What you think is random may have been written in your father's genes
Recently, many people have said that drinking soda can improve their physique, change their physique to a more alkaline environment, thereby improving the vitality of the male Y chromosome and increasing the chance of having a boy, so many women will buy a lot of soda to drink before pregnancy.
But in fact, this statement has long been debunked, drinking soda water can not improve their physique, nor can they increase the chance of having a son.
02 Debunking rumors: The argument of acid-base constitution is not credible
Many people believe that the male Y chromosome is not acid-tolerant and is more likely to survive in an alkaline environment, so many women will change the acid-base environment inside their bodies by using various alkaline drinks and foods, improve the vitality of the Y chromosome, and hope to have a boy.
It has to be said that the probability of survival of the Y chromosome in an alkaline environment is indeed higher, but this difference is negligible, or even negligible, and will not actually have any impact.
And the human body's pH value is mostly maintained between 7.35 and 7.45, which is itself a neutral and alkaline environment, if you deviate from this pH value, it means that there is a problem with the body and needs to go to the hospital in time for examination.
The environment in the human body will also remain constant under the regulation of the brain, even if you eat more alkaline foods, you cannot change the environment in the body, so it is unrealistic to change the pH value in the body through diet.
I believe that many people know that the male chromosome is xy, and the female chromosome is xx, before the sperm and egg are combined into a fertilized egg, the chromosomes are randomly assigned, theoretically, whether it is a boy or a girl, the probability is 50%, which is a random problem.
I believe many people have also found that in the world, although the ratio of males and females born is not 1:1, the probability of giving birth to men is higher than that of women.
03 Is it up to the father to give birth to a boy or a girl?
Many people in life have heard that the birth of boys and girls is determined by men, usually speaking, the real sex can determine the male chromosome, if the Y chromosome is combined with the eggs produced by the mother, then it will give birth to boys, and conversely, girls will be born.
With the development of science, people's understanding of themselves is more and more thorough, many studies have shown that the father's physical quality determines which chromosome is more active, generally speaking, if the male is in a high-pressure environment for a long time, the external chromosome activity in the body will be correspondingly reduced, or even reduced, so it is easier to give birth to girls.
In addition, long-term environmentally polluted jobs, or often in a high temperature environment, will also damage the quality of the Y chromosome, and even lead to the reduction of the number of Y chromosomes until it disappears.
In contrast, some work that requires sports labor will increase the chance of survival of the Y chromosome, maintain sufficient labor, and achieve the same effect, making it easier to give birth to boys.
But even with these reasons, the difference between boys and girls is still not large, just a very slight gap, so there is no need to be too anxious in this regard.
In fact, whether it is a boy or a daughter, they can get happiness, are the crystallization of parental love, I believe that most parents want their children to be safe and secure, as long as the children can grow up healthy and happy, it is happiness.
