Does the age of both husband and wife have an impact on the gender of the baby?
This is a topic that many couples who are trying to conceive care about. You may have heard a saying that it is easy for older mothers to give birth to girls, and the younger the age, the easier it is to give birth to boys.
(And this kind of thing?) ）
The basis of this statement is nothing more than two points: one is that the older the man, the smaller the number of sperm and the lower the motility; the second is that the older the woman, the more acidic the constitution, and it is more suitable for X sperm to combine with eggs. It seems that there is some truth to this statement, but it does not stand up to scrutiny.

Today, Sister Ping will talk to you specifically!!!
Does Age Affect Sperm Quantity Quality?
Theoretically, as men age, sperm quality will certainly decline. However, this effect is not large, and the speed of sperm decay is far less than expected.
Moreover, sperm decay is often only manifested in sperm motility, and there is not much change in concentration (that is, quantity).
In addition, some data show that the older men are, the higher the semen concentration will have a period of rise.
In addition, with the improvement of modern people's living standards, more and more people pay attention to health. The decay of sperm count and motility is even slower, not enough to affect the sex of the fetus.
In fact, what really determines the decrease in sperm count and quality is the individual's physical condition. Only a healthy constitution can ensure sufficient sperm quantity and motility, and if the body is weak, malnourished, or some major disease occurs, no matter what age, the quality of sperm cannot be guaranteed.

Does age really affect women's physique?
Before discussing this issue, we first need to understand a concept, that is, what is the so-called alkaline constitution and acidic constitution?
In fact, from a medical point of view, there is no distinction between alkaline constitution and acidic constitution, and there is no such concept in any medical textbook.
So why do we always mention this thing? In the end, in order to give people an easy to understand visualization, the endocrine system of the human body is very subtle, and it can always maintain a stable state for the vast majority of the time, and this state has no acid-base distinction.
However, when your body has some abnormal symptoms, such as ingesting too much acidic food, it is possible to make the body show a manifestation of endocrine imbalance in a short period of time, such as fire, constipation, acne, etc., at this time we can simply understand that the constitution is a bit "sour". However, under the regulation of a strong endocrine system, balance will eventually be restored.

Therefore, the statement that "with age, women's physique will gradually show acidity" is itself unscientific, and age cannot have any impact on the baby's gender.
If you want to have a male baby, is there a good trick?
Sister Ping also said with certainty: there is no way to guarantee 100% wishful thinking.
The birth of a boy or a girl is determined primarily by the chromosomes of men. Because men are able to produce two kinds of sperm: one containing the X chromosome and one containing the Y chromosome.
When an egg is bound to a sperm containing an X chromosome, it is a girl; when an egg is bound to a sperm containing a Y chromosome, it is a boy.
But in general, the number of X and Y chromosomes is half of the number, which means that the probability of having a boy and a girl is the same.

Sisters, remember! Although giving birth to a child is one of the most important events in every woman's life, from the moment she is ready to conceive, she is already full of expectations for the sex of the baby.
But gender is really not the most important thing, the most important thing is to have a healthy baby! Therefore, we must do a good job in preparing for pregnancy, and we must achieve a balanced diet and reasonable nutrition in our diet.
It doesn't matter if you have a boy or a girl, the most important thing is to have a healthy baby!
Besides, what's so bad about having a little cotton jacket! Careful and well-behaved, you say?
Finally, I wish the sisters a smooth pregnancy!!
I wish you all a good pregnancy in April
