"If the mother often and likes to eat meat when her child is pregnant, it's a boy..."
"Wow, her mother likes to eat beans and vegetables, it's definitely a girl"
Do you often hear 'old people' say this? It seems that many people fail to understand this. Many argue that when we are young when we are pregnant, we eat a lot of certain foods, which will produce the sex of the fetus we want.
As far as I know, regulating the food consumed to try to have a baby girl or boy should actually be when promil starts. (Yes, this is also the result of learning after my own experience). CMIIW yeah.
If what I've been browsing about is medical science, the sex determinant is in the male (sperm), but sperm also depends on the condition of the vagina, the food consumed by the mother before pregnancy can indeed affect the baby's gender, although it is not the only determining factor. only one.

The food consumed can affect the acid-base atmosphere of the vagina, which affects which sperm can survive and fertilize the egg, whether the sperm is X (carriers of the female sex element) or Y (carrier of the male sex element). When you eat a lot of meat, the vaginal atmosphere will become alkaline, which is favorable for the Y sperm to fertilize the egg, so that the fertilized child also tends to be male.
Conversely, consumption of vegetables and nuts can make the vagina become acidic which increases the chances of X sperm (carrier of female sex elements) for fertilization. And Y Sperm is not acid resistant. When vaginal conditions are acidic, the X sperm are more active and fertilize the egg and produce female sex. That's what I briefly read.
So, the food we eat affects the condition of the vagina before conception. Not while pregnant.
Like my experience when I was pregnant with my first and second child. Pregnant with my first child, for some reason this stomach wants to eat meat, seafood and sushi all the time. Eat vegetables, throw up. Eat rice, throw up. Eat meat, add. Then out came the baby boy.
After 2 years, she was pregnant with her second child. The mouth and stomach are in sync, not interested in seeing meat. Just don't look, let alone eat. I just want vegetables. The fresh ones, the boiled ones, the sauteed ones, all the vegetables tasted good even though I didn't really like eating vegetables before.
Everyone said, "Wow, this is a girl"
In my heart, "yes, cravings and habits are different because"
Then arrived in the right weeks to be able to check the gender and during the ultrasound, the doctor said "Mother, this is the second child, yes... the penis is visible"
And I still can't believe it haha.
"Is it time doc?"
"How come my eating habits are different, doc?"
"Seriously another boy doc?"
"The doctor didn't see it wrong, did he?"
The doctor laughed. Maybe I think I'm stressed this time, I don't accept the reality. Hahaha then a boy was born (again) who people thought I was pregnant with a girl. Hhhh...
And because of my own experience, until I finally browsed about this and understood that WANT TO CONSUME A LOT OF MEAT APE VEGETABLES DOES NOT AFFECT THE GENDER OF THE BABY!
Believe me. God Almighty.
The real conclusion is that when pregnant, you are told to eat meat so that your intake of protein, iron and zinc elements is met and if you eat a lot of vegetables during pregnancy it can help the pregnant body's intake of vitamins, calcium, fiber, potassium, protein, folic acid and many others. it takes the baby to be born healthy. I see.
