does what you eat in pregnancy determine the babies sex?

i heard if you eat salty and spicy foods its a boy...but like sweet stuff is a girl..but im not sure if its an old wives tale or not...

No. I craved spicy food with both of my pregnancies. I had a girl the first time and a boy the second. My pregnancies pretty much mirrored each other. So I thought I was having a girl the second time too. I was wrong.

That baby already has the male or female chromosomes when the first cell divides. The only thing that really can make you have a chance to control the sex is position. I really don't know quite how to say this w/o being graphic but here goes, Deeper penetration occurs with back to front sex. Girl sperm are better swimmers than boys so if you give them a shorter swim, you have more of a chance to have a boy. Obviously, it's a bit late to try it if you are already preggers. Now, you'll just have to wait for the sonogram to tell you the sex. I hope it is what you want but I know you will love either one. Good Luck and God Bless you and your new baby

Doesn't affect the baby's sex at all I'm afraid, only the dad's sperm does that. Unless you're asking if what you fancy eating is an INDICATOR of what sex you're carrying, then I'm sure you are right!

Before I knew I was having boys, I craved sweet and sour, curries and salty foods.

With my girls I fancied puddings, custards and chocolate!

I must be pregnant again then cos I NEED MORE CHOCOLATE!!!!!

I never have heard of anything that is a true indicator of it, for me personally the things I liked to eat meant -boy for a girl it meant I craved everything my husband normally ate.

my daughter craves cucumbers with lime juice loaded in salt. Shes having a boy

I don't believe so I have 3 children myself all daughters and I craved different stuff with all of them. It just differs per your hormones.

Look...the sperm is male or female...your egg doesnt' decide...so before conception it is concievable that something you eat may...may...influence whether a y or x chomosome sperm gets to the egg first....after your pregnant its all decided already....so give it up....If what you want is to look at what you eat and try to determine boy or girl....i'd say wait for the ultrasound.

no..but i kinda have a funny story about that..when my mom was pregnant had my youngest sister, my little sister who was 5 at the time was like mommy if you would've ate more greenbeans you would've had a boy.

Seriously... are people REALLY having babies when they can't understand that it takes an XY OR XX chromosome pair to determine gender?

This comes from the SPERM.

What you eat, when or how you have sex does not have ANY EFFECT.
