Sex Matters

Last time, I continued drinking - to a lesser extent - while we were trying. Well, I had been on the Internet and found an article entitled; ‘Choosing Your Baby’s Sex: The Folklore’ at www.babycentre.co.uk/pregnancy/naming/choosingsexfolklore/ and this said that you were more likely to conceive a boy if you drank red wine. Well, that’s how I read it anyway!! It also said to conceive a boy you need to eat salty food, plenty of meat, fish, white flour, pasta, fresh fruit, vegs but avoid milk and dairy products such as yoghurt and cheese, nuts, chocolate, shellfish and whole meal bread. Why? It doesn’t say!! It did say however, that having sex on the day of ovulation (avoiding sex the week before to keep the sperm count high) would be more likely to produce a boy as male sperm are thought to swim faster and reach the egg first. It also said ‘deep penetration’ sex such as doggy style would be more likely to produce a boy….
