Is it the guy's sperm that makes the gender of a baby?
Yes. Sperm carry either an X or a Y chromosome. The eggs from a female's ovaries is always X.
If the sperm has an X chromosome, the baby will be female.
If the sperm has a Y chromosome, the baby will be male.
Are more males or females born each year?
Worldwide, there are 107 boy babies born for every 100 girl babies.
This slightly skewed ratio is partly due to sex-selective abortion and the killing of female infants when males are more desired. Boys have a higher death rate, both as infants and adults, so the ratio later in life is slightly different. Specifically, for every 1,000 people in the world, 504 are men (50.4%) and 496 are women (49.6%).
What race has the most teen pregnancies?
How is sex determined in birds?

What is the normal heartbeat of a male fetus?
at 10 1/2 weeks a babies heartbeat should be between 140 and 150
Not all pregnancies are the same, i should know, I'm having my 6th one. From what i was told with my pregnancies, was that for boys, the normal beat would be between 130/139 and for girls 140/150. If it's much over or much under, only your ob doctor can tell you if it's ok or not. I'm 30 weeks now and my doctor told me the beat was 152, i was worried because my other daughter didn't have it that high and on top of that, he told me i was having a boy. My ob says that as long as the heart beat stays between 120 to 160, it should be fine. Again, it all depends on your doctor. This early in the pregnancy, i definitely would suggest to get a pro's opinion.
ACOG expanded their guidelines to include heartbeats from 110-160 as a normal range during pregnancy.
Although, as you get closer to term, more important factors contribute to good fetal heart tones (FHTs) than just heart rate including variability, absence of decels, presence of accels, and a reactive strip.
160 heart beats is that a girl or more likely a boy?
It is impossible to tell by rate of the heartbeat. Anyone who tries to tell you otherwise is speaking old wives tales. The above answerer said that you can tell for sure by an ultrasound. You cannot. Sometimes the baby keeps its legs together or is at a difficult angle and you sonographer can't see, and sometimes it is just impossible to tell.

Are there certain days that increase your chance of having a baby boy?
This ovulation calender will help: http://www.ovulation-calendar.com/hlp-c04-conceiving-boy.html
Y sperm which produce boys are faster but weaker than X sperm which produce girls. Have lots of sex in the week after your period which will put sperm production into overdrive and more male sperm are produced. Then do not have intercourse again until just after ovulation, (though the man can masturbate to orgasm). There will be more male sperm than female and they will get to the ovum first as it is travelling down the Fallopian tubes.
This is not a gurantee, I have boy/girl twins.
Does the ring pregnancy gender trick only work on pregnant woman?
This trick is not for perfect suggestion, I use only IntelliGender products. And i get perfect suggestion about my baby gender predictions. This trick is only superstition/old wives tale, so it is not proven to work at all, but it is supposed to be performed on a pregnant woman's belly.

Is it possible to chose a babys gender?
Since it is the males sperm that is at play when it comes to having a girl or boy, there is not much one can do to be sure of getting the one or the other.
There are companies that say they can separate male sperm from female sperm, but studies does not show fail-proof results.
Some people claim that the PH level in vagina can affect the outcome one way or the other but this is still not scientifically proven to my knowledge.
Some people say that you should do this or that in order to get a baby of desired gender.
Some even say the solution is easy.
If you go left, the baby will be a girl.
If you go right, the baby will be a boy.
If going straight into the middle, then you get twins.
Others say that from behind produces girls and from on top, it makes boys.
This is all a load of crap and can not be proven right by anybody.
It is all stories because a lot of women enjoys talking, and some even believe this.
My best choice would be to separate the sperm by a company, but I feel that even this is a long shot.
How sex of embryo can be determined?
By taking the DNA of the embryo, putting it through some tests and coming out with results on whether it's a female (XX chromosomes) or a male (XY chromosomes). These chromosomes are the same in terms of sex selection for all mammals.
Who are responsible for giving birth to a female child?
its actually the male who recognises the sex of a child bc the male has either has an x chromosome or a y while the female always has an x chromosome. so if an x from the male fertilizes the egg in the female, a female child would be born and if a y from a male fertilizes the egg then a male child would be born.
All this scientific truth is contrary to what is believed in many primitive and ignorant societies and cultures of the world where they think that its the woman who is responsible for the birth of a female child.
I'm not sure. I would look up old wive's tales to compare, but the best way to tell is to have them. Sometimes, even the scans will be wrong. So the only way to tell is when u have the child :D But w/ your hips getting bigger, I would just say that it's your body getting ready for the birth, because you need big hips to get the baby through easier.
