That curiosity that invades us every day when we are pregnant, knowing the sex of our baby intrigues us and the feeling intensifies even more thanks to our family and friends when they begin to ask and imagine a world of possibilities. Some of this leads them to use peculiar and curious methods that have no scientific basis, but our grandmothers believe it without any doubt, because they already had their own home tests to have a slight light on the sex of the child. Thanks to them and to the Mayans, today we can enjoy these traditions and have access to this unreliable information, but which apparently makes us a little curious.

This method is based on the 13 moon calendar and consists of taking the age you were at the time of conception (in the left column of the table) and the month in which you became pregnant (upper row in the table). ). In the event that you are not sure of the precise month, you must add 14 days to the last day of your period.
BAKING SODA TEST
Secondly, we have this test that consists of an experiment that is not scientific, but if you google it, you will see many tutorials from people who have done it in real life. This method is very easy, it consists of collecting a little of the first pee in the morning, preferably in a container that is a glass, later you must add the same proportion of bicarbonate, if many bubbles are produced, it indicates that you are expecting a child , Otherwise , it would indicate that it is a girl . Keep in mind that the results you obtain may not be true as they lack scientific studies to make it so.

This myth is the easiest of all because you only have to look at your belly and if it is tilted and a little pointed or tilted but downwards it is a boy, because the girl's belly is usually tall and circularly proportioned.

In conclusion, the best way to know the sex of your baby is with the use of scientific methods such as: The blood test, which is carried out from the seventh week of pregnancy; Another option is amniocentesis , which is not very commonly used if the baby does not have genetic contrariety; In addition, there is the ultrasound , which is the best known method of all and finally the Ramzi method, in which the sex of the baby can be verified from the first ultrasound.
