The medical regulations prohibiting the disclosure of a baby's gender, as well as the strong curiosity of parents about the baby's gender, have led to an increasing number of folk beliefs about male and female births, which are no longer limited to prenatal dreams. Some people say that the thirst of pregnant women can be determined by gender, but is it accurate to determine the thirst in the early stages of pregnancy based on gender? Let's learn about it together with the editor below.
Thirst in early pregnancy depends on gender
1. It is normal to feel thirsty in the early stages of pregnancy, and giving birth to a boy or a girl is determined by the nature of sperm. Thirst during pregnancy is a normal signal for the pregnant woman's body, indicating that both the pregnant woman and the baby need more fluids. Supplementing with a large amount of water also helps the kidneys quickly eliminate the additional metabolic waste produced by the fetus in pregnant women.
2. Pregnant women have a higher metabolic rate and body temperature than ordinary people, and their body water is easily consumed and evaporated. Moreover, frequent urination and increased saliva also excrete a large amount of water from the body. After pregnancy, blood volume increases and the amount of amniotic fluid needed to conceive the fetus continues to increase, all of which require the mother to consume sufficient water. Therefore, pregnant women experience more severe thirst after pregnancy compared to the general population.
What to do if you feel thirsty in the early stages of pregnancy
To ensure normal metabolism in the body, pregnant women should consume at least 2000 milliliters of water per day. In addition to plain water, it is also recommended to consume more fruit and vegetable juices to supplement water and vitamins. Pregnant women can also supplement their bodies with a large amount of water by consuming lettuce and cucumbers with high water content.
The above is the relevant information compiled by the editor on the issue of thirst in early pregnancy, looking at men and women. I hope it can be helpful to everyone. The gender of the baby is already determined during the formation of the fertilized egg. Parents should not pay too much attention to the baby's gender, and should focus on nutrition and health during pregnancy to have a healthy baby.
