A question from a pregnant friend!

A friend of mine is about 7-8wks pregnant right now... she has 2 kids of the same gender and wants a certain gender but didn't sway. She does have gender desire but is open to whatever since her husband wants lots of kids.

Based on a few diet factors, weight, moon, DTD (timing and abstaining), and environment factors.... I figured she has about a 40-30% chance at a boy and a 60-70% chance at a girl.

One thing I am wondering is would a tilted uterus affect the gender?

I have one and had all girls naturally. Not sure if it means anything though.

My mom and I both have tipped uterus and she had 2 girls....3 boys, of course, for me:)

interesting... she has 2 boys so it is confirmed that a tilted oven doesn't sway!

I think it means it is not in the normal postion but that it is tilting sideways, forward, or backward... can anyone say if I am right?

If that's the case, my friend has tilted uterus backwards and has 3 girls so far, currently pg with #4 Idk the gender. So maybe it doesn't sway....

I am like Han Solo..."Never tell me the odds!!!" There are SO many unseen factors that I ~personally~ would not like to guess at odds for people because there are a bazillion things going on inside a person's body that we cannot know.

Tilted uterus does not sway. 4 boys here and mine is so bad that I can't even pee sometimes in early pregancy. My mom's is tilted too and she has girls and only one boy.

The idea is that somehow either X or Y sperm swim in a direction that makes them swim away from/towards the opening to the cervix (nonsense) OR that a tilted uterus makes it harder for the sperm to make it into the uterus and makes it harder to get pregnant and lowers sperm numbers somehow (more plausible but not true) The idea that a tilted uterus makes it harder to get pg has been totally debunked - sperm can swim through ANYTHING as long as the EWCM is there - and even the idea that a tilted uterus is even a medical condition is now considered old-fashioned. A tilted uterus is just a variation of normal, like having brown or blue eyes. Something like 50% of women have one.
