How to conceive a girl in 2018

According to experts. - by Georgia Mars
  • 19 Dec 2017

Have you always wanted a baby girl? Planning on starting a family in 2018? Well, here is exactly how to ensure both of those things come true in the New Year! 

According to midwife Jane Barry, there are some key ways to ensure the gender of your baby is the one you desire. 

Here are her tips for ensuring you conceive a baby girl in 2018.

Timing is everything

According to Barry, timing your 'sexy' time two days before you ovulate, rather than when you're actually ovulating, can increase the likelihood of conceiving a girl. 

Dairy is key!

According to experts, consuming lots of dairy foods with lots of magnesium and calcium can increase the likelihood of having a baby girl. 

Fatty foods are a no-go

Eating fatty foods is known to increase the presence of vaginal discharge, which is also known to help Y-sperm swim towards the egg faster. 

Embrace veggies

Apparently, red meat and salt favour boys. So, if you're hoping to conceive a girl embracing alternative forms of protein - such as lentils, fish and beans - can increase your chances for a girl.

If you're already pregnant and wanting to find out the sex of your baby WITHOUT an ultra sound - an amazing new pregnancy chart has been created with a 90% accuracy. It has been described as 'eerily accurate.'
