What Symptoms Can You Have With a Girl?

In the following article, we will look at many traditional beliefs that people think signify if someone is having a girl, and how likely these arguments are true.

So, you may be wondering: How do I know if I am having a girl based on old wives’ tales? Let’s see the most common signs that you might be having a girl:

• Your morning sickness gets seriously severe
  According to a number of people, one of the baby girls’ symptoms during early pregnancy is having severe morning sickness. In fact, according to one of the studies carried on this topic, in comparison to those carrying boys, if you are expecting a girl, then you are inclined to experience more inflammation when your immune system is exposed to a bacteria. 
  This discovery may indicate that women feeling more unwell while experiencing morning sickness might be expecting a baby girl. However, more studies are required to clearly discover the link between morning sickness and baby’s gender.

• You are becoming too moody
  Most common symptoms of having a girl might be linked to having extreme mood swings. While having rapid mood swings during pregnancy is caused by hormonal changes, according to a number of people, higher levels of estrogen signal that you are going to have a baby girl. Still, there is no research confirming this argument.

• Changes in urine color
  Many pregnancy tests at home are based on how urine reacts in contact with different substances. According to one of the tales, if the color of your urine is bright, then it may signify that your baby is female.  
  However, the truth is that the changes in the color of your urine may be caused by many factors, such as hydration, vitamins you consume, diet, as well as an infection.

• You’re gaining weight
  Many people think that gaining a lot of weight in the midsection of your body indicates that you are having a girl, while others believe that if the baby is a boy, then the extra pounds will appear more in the front of the body.
  Yet, there is no scientific research backing up this theory, since gaining weight during pregnancy is simply based on an individual’s body type.

• Carrying high
  Oftentimes, many assume that carrying the baby high is a sign of having a girl. However, it is quite clear that carrying high or low has nothing to do with your baby’s gender and is not based on any scientific evidence.
  Besides, your muscle strength, fitness level, as well as body type are all contributing factors to where you carry your baby.

• You crave for sweets
  Pregnancy always comes with many new cravings. According to some people, if you crave sugary stuff then your baby might be a girl, while others think that cravings for salty food may indicate to a baby boy.
  Again, no science-based evidence currently confirms this theory which suggests a relationship between food cravings and the sex of the baby.

• Changes in stress levels
  According to research carried out in 2012, women’s stress levels before she conceives may relate to the baby’s gender. The study states that levels of cortisol in the blood may be linked to the male to female birth ratio.
  The survey indicated that you are more likely to have a girl if you are experiencing higher levels of cortisol – the stress hormone.
  Besides, in another study, which has been carried out following an earthquake on the Greek island of Zakynthos, it is revealed that increased stress levels may influence a woman’s giving birth to a girl. Still, there seems more research needed to properly investigate the theory and back up the argument which links stress and the gender of babies.

• Your hair gets dull and skin becomes oily
  
  Yet another belief that you might be having a girl is linked to having dull hair and oily skin. While this view is also not based on scientific facts, the change in hormonal levels in pregnancy is one of the major variables contributing to hair appearance, and the condition of the skin.

• Your baby’s heartbeat is rapid
  

  You may be having a female baby, say some people believing that the heart rate of the baby may indicate his or her gender. However, according to studies, gender does not affect fetal heart rate variation, meaning that male and female fetuses have no significant differences in heart rate variations.

• Experiencing pregnancy acne

  Some people think that having no acne during pregnancy means that you are more likely to have a boy. However, the truth is that this is simply a myth. The fact is that carrying a girl or a boy can not be associated with having or not having acne and weight gain. This means that no matter what the sex of your baby is, these are just common pregnancy symptoms.  

What is the best way to find your baby’s gender?

The best way to discover the baby’s sex is an ultrasound scan which generally can be done at 16-20 weeks of pregnancy. In an ultrasound session, your doctor will determine the baby’s gender.

Most of the time one appointment will just be enough to get accurate results, however, keep in mind that there can be many factors that obscure the ultrasound image. Repeat visits may be required to see gender better.

Conclusion

Most of the widespread, traditional signs suggesting that someone is pregnant to a baby girl are simply myths that science never confirmed.

However, one of them – experiencing extreme morning sickness in pregnancy – may indicate a girl, but still needs much more research to fully understand how these factors do actually contribute to a baby’s sex.

Therefore, the best way to reveal whether you are carrying a girl is to have a doctor’s professional opinion at an ultrasound appointment.
