How Is The Gender Of A Fetus Determined?
Hello Doctor! I am Komal! I have been married since last 1 and half years. Me and my husband want to have a baby now. My in-laws are little orthodox and they want our first child to be a boy. Is there any way through which i can get the first child as a boy?

Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the sex of the baby is decided by the
X and Y chromosomes.The mother gives two X chromosomes and father contributes one X and one Y chromosome.One of X chromosomes given ny mother and one among those given by father fuse to form embryo.If both X fuse it gives XX a female baby and if X and Y fuse it gives rise to XY a male baby.This is all myth and little is known about it.So we cannot decide the sex before the birth of the baby.So relax.Avoid stress.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
