Pregnancy is a wonderful experience, from the day of conception until the day of your baby’s birth you will find yourself looking at the world with different eyes.

Old wives tales on gender selection have been around since the beginning of time, making the myths as old as the pregnancy event itself. The myths vary from making love in doggy style or standing position to having the female reach climax before male should you have a little boy in mind or having sex in missionary style during late afternoons to having the male reach climax before the female should you have a little girl in mind.

Some natural method examples are charting and calculation of precise ovulation times or alterations to usual positions during sex. Dietary changes impacting alkalinity levels in the vagina should also be considered.
