It may be a girl!
Based on your answers, the research suggests that you are slightly more likely to have a girl!
Are you over 35?
This answer suggests it could be a girl
Yes
No
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXPLANATION: There is some evidence that the older you are when you conceive your baby, the more likely you are to have a girl. The sex of the baby is partly controlled by the level of the hormone gonadotrophin, and this increases with age.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Were you living with the father of your baby when you conceived?
This answer suggests it could be a girl
Yes
No
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXPLANATION: One very large study of 86,000 people shows a figure of 51.5 per cent male births for those living with a spouse or partner before the child's conception or birth, and 49.9 per cent male births reported by respondents who were not.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are married, how long had you been married when you conceived?
Less than a year More than a year This answer suggests it could be a boy or a girl
I'm not married
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXPLANATION: The theory is that the longer you are married, the less sex you have. Infrequent sex means that you are less likely to conceive close to when you ovulate. Male sperm move faster but don't live as long as female sperm. So by having infrequent sex, you are less likely to have sex close to the time you ovulate. That means that a longer-lasting female sperm is more likely to win the race.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is the father of your baby over 40?
This answer suggests it could be a girl
Yes
No
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXPLANATION: It seems that the older a dad is the less likely the male sperm are to fertilise the egg and the female sperm win the race. The latest evidence is that the quality of sperm does deteriorate with age and older men produce fewer male sperm.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How many children do you already have?
None One This answer suggests it could be a girl
Two or more
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXPLANATION: The research here shows that the more children you have, the more likely you are to have a girl. This may be linked to the fact that the more pregnancies you have, the higher your levels of the hormone gonadotrophin. This seems to be linked to a higher chance of having a girl.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Were you eating a high or low calorie diet when you became pregnant?
High This answer suggests either a boy or a girl
Medium
Low
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXPLANATION: A study divided 740 British women into groups according to their calorie intake. 56 per cent of the women who had the highest energy intake had boys. 45 per cent of the women who had the lowest energy intake had boys. The average calorie intake for women who had boys was 2,413. The average calorie intake for women who had girls was 2,283. It has been suggested that our bodies only invest in boys (who are more fragile and statistically less likely to survive) when food is abundant.
