So You Want to Get Pregnant with a Boy

Do you find that every time you think of getting pregnant, you picture a sweet little boy?  Boys are a wonderful adventure -- they keep you feeling young just watching all of their energy!  In this article I'll cover some of the reasons to use natural gender selection for a boy, as well some basic techniques for conceiving a son.

Boisterous  and Beloved

You've probably heard countless parents say that they just want a healthy baby.  For many, that's true.  But many moms also long to have a sweet baby boy in their arms -- and that's totally normal!

Some mothers dream of the chance to parent both genders.  Many moms hope they'll have a boy first so their little girl will have a big brother to watch over her.

Women sometimes hope to give their husband a son, and have a son to carry on the family name even into adulthood.  Though times and traditions change, having a son is still a proud moment for families. 

Sometimes a woman had a tough relationship with her own mother and feels worried about having a daughter... it's normal to desire a son if that's the case.  Sometimes it seems like parenting a son is easier. 

Whatever the reason, many women would like to get pregnant with a sweet baby boy!

Techniques for Conceiving a Boy

Natural gender selection techniques can increase your chances of bringing home a baby boy.  It's important to remember that no natural sex selection method can 100% guarantee you'll get the gender you desire.  Be open to any baby that comes.  You can, however, increase your odds of getting a little boy!

Look to diet first.  Changing what you're eating (and even how often you're eating) can have a huge impact on your chances at getting a son.  Boys need more calories all throughout life.  Eating a diet that's high in calories and contains lots of nutrient-dense foods is a great way to try and conceive a boy.  This strategy is one of many "boy diets" and is based on the Trivers-Willard hypothesis.

Supplementation with vitamins and minerals is mostly geared towards increasing your level of nutrients.  Supplements may also help you make your body more alkaline, which gives an advantage to boy sperm.  Some supplements increase your fertile mucus around ovulation, which is also very good for boy sperm.

There are many other techniques to use when you try to get pregnant with a baby boy.  Timing intercourse, different positions, exercise, and other lifestyle factors can be included to really boost your chances at bringing home a little man!
