Guest guest Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 that is by far one of the silliest arguments against vegetarianism i have ever heard. i was a student midwife for three years and saw many a veggie mama pass my way having a boy. i am vegan and have a boy and a girl. whether or not a baby will be a boy or a girl is determined by the father's sperm - not by what you're eating.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Hi Jeni, As far as I know, the gender of a baby is determined not by diet but by the x and y chromosomes. I have two healthy boys and I was vegan before I got pregnant, through my pregnancy, and still am - as are my children. A number of my friends who are vegan/vegetarian have children who are boys. I am not an expert but from what I know, meat plays no role in the gender of a child. Is it possible that the people who are telling you this don't agree with your decision to be vegetarian and may be trying to scare you into eating meat again? God's Peace, Gayle - yani jeni 4/18/2007 9:32:24 AM baby boy Dear All, I'm a mother to a baby girl of 10 mth and now is trying to pregnant again.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 that is so odd that people would say that! i have been vegetarian for ten years. two years ago i gave birth to my son. i can think of three long-term vegetarian friends off the top of my head that have sons. there are plenty of vegetarian communes and societies that exist. it is not as if they are having only girls. please do not listen to these people. they are obviously uneducated on this topic. karen , yani jeni <yani_jeni wrote: > > Dear All, > I'm a mother to a baby girl of 10 mth and now is > trying to pregnant again. > I do hope that i can expect baby boy this time so I > can have a pair of child in my family. > > but then, people told me that because I " m vegetarian > and I dont eat meat, then it will be hard to expect a > boy or mostly impossible.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Whoever told you that is stupid. The sex of your child is determined by the chromosomes that come from the sperm. Some people believe that things like the male drinking coffee before sex will speed the XY sperm up so that they get to the egg quicker and things like that. I could see something like that working in increasing odds of having a certain sex child. But once the baby is already conceived it is what it is boy or girl. Nothing you could do could change that.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Oh so many old wives tales abt having boys and girls. I am an avid vegetarian and have been for years. I have one boy and another on the way. I imagine I feel destined to only have boys, but the truth is, I can't control that to a very big extent. The male is the one who does the most dominant determination of sex for a baby. If you want to increase your odds of getting pregnant with a boy then you have to choose a proper time for conception and hope your ph levels and his male to female ratio is higher that day. Mostly you can choose to induce conception when an ovulation calendar shows you are most likely to produce a boy. And cross your fingers bc/ well... you just never know. --- yani jeni <yani_jeni wrote: > Dear All, > I'm a mother to a baby girl of 10 mth and now is > trying to pregnant again. > I do hope that i can expect baby boy this time so I > can have a pair of child in my family. > > but then, people told me that because I " m vegetarian > and I dont eat meat, then it will be hard to expect > a > boy or mostly impossible.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Hi, I have been vegetarian all my life and have a son.My parents, grandparents,...the whole family is vegetarian - no meat no fish. My sis-in-law is pregnant and we are all hoping it would be a girl as there are boys and boys everywhere in the family.... What you eat has no impact on what the sex of the baby would be. It is the X or Y chromosome that comes from the dad that determines the sex of the baby.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 " choosing " the sex of the baby by ph levels and date of conception is just as much an old wives' tale. however " scientific " it may sound, whether a baby is a boy or a girl is determined solely by genetics from the male sperm. although, i guess you could go for it anyway...you'd have about a 50% chance of doing it right!

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 I have heard that too -- I remember hearing there was a big study and that wasn't actually intended to be part of the study, but the incidence of vegetarian women having girls was so high they couldn't ignore it. And then I went on to have 3 sons and no daughters! (after being vegetarian for more than 10 years, and having a vegetarian husband).

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 I'm also a vegetarian and I have a son. Whoever told you that is just trying to scare you. There's absolutely no truth to it. There are things you can do to increase your chances of having a boy. One of the things I read was that you can tie a string around one of your husband's testicles (I'm not sure which one) to increase the chance of getting one gender or the other. Another thing is that X (girl) sperm and Y (boy) sperm move at different speeds (I don't remember which is faster), so depending on what point of your cycle you have sex it will increase the likelihood of one gender or the other. I don't remember details on these things, and I don't even know how much truth there is to them or any other method of increasing the chances for one gender or another outside of conceiving them in a petri dish and throwing all the female baby embryos in the trash. Just go for a healthy baby! That's the most important thing. And if you end up with another girl, you can save some money by re-using all your daughter's old things. yani jeni <yani_jeni wrote: Dear All, I'm a mother to a baby girl of 10 mth and now is trying to pregnant again.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 here is an article about the study. it certainly does not show that vegetarians don't have boys! closer to 8 boys for every ten girls in the veg groups. i certainly don't think it is statistically strong enough to cause you to change your diet: Vegetarian Mothers More Likely to Give Birth to Girls (Source: Practising Midwife August, 2000) A British study of how diet affects the health of new mothers and their babies produced the surprise finding that vegetarian women are more likely to have girls. - Researchers monitored 5,942 pregnant women. - Nearly 5% were vegetarian, a total of more than 250 women. - They were mainly concerned with looking at things such as hemoglobin and birth weights, but the difference in sex ratio they discovered was completely unexpected. - While the normal birth ratio in Britain is 106 boys born for every 100 girls, in the vegetarian women in the study, there were 81.5 boys born for every 100 girls. - After finding these results, researchers decided to further test their surprise findings by extending their study for a further six months, looking exclusively at the sex of babies. - The results, covering about 150 more vegetarian women, were " just about exactly the same, " the study authors report. - Previous studies have shown that diets high in potassium, calcium and magnesium will produce more male births, but there is no evidence that a vegetarian diet is low in these elements. - Researchers suggest that a further study could be carried out to investigate whether the diet of fathers affects the sex of their children.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Of course!! But with me and two daughters around, Jeff would be even more loony than he is now. In all seriousness, either way he and I both would have been very, very happy if Jeffery had been a girl. We planned to name a girl Mary. Either way we'd have been very happy as long as the baby was healthy! I read in a parenting magazine about people having lots of eggs fertilized in a petri dish and sorting out the boys from the girls, and disposing of the embryos that weren't the gender they wanted. That, in my opinion, is disgusting!! robin koloms <rkoloms wrote: As this thread has continued, I have become a bit disturbed about couples having a gender preference.
