How To Pick Your Baby's Gender By Rebecca Washburn

The popular guide, "How To Pick Your baby's Gender" by Rebecca Washburn was written after Rebecca's own quest to conceive a baby boy, after having two much-loved daughters. It has become somewhat of a phenomenon for couples who are trying to influence the gender of their children prior to conception.

It boasts a consistently high success rate of around 95% and this is certainly backed up by evidence from delighted couples. The book relies on scientifically known facts surrounding the mechanics of conception, the behavior of sperm and the ovum, the pH levels within the vagina and other environmental factors. In addition, it also looks at ways in which the diets of both the prospective parents can influence the gender of a child prior to conception. If differs greatly from other guides which rely on heresay and somewhat dubious factors such as Astrology and ancient Chinese medicine and prides itself by giving clear, understandable steps for conceiving a child of the gender of your choice.

"How To Pick You baby's gender" by Rebecca Washburn recommends using a multifaceted approach when trying to get pregnant. It is well known, for example, that to have a boy, intercourse should happen as close to ovulation as possible. However, although the timing of intercourse may well tip the odds in your favor, what sets this guide apart is the way in which it combines several approaches at once to give yourselves the best possible chance of conceiving the child of your choice. Indeed what it does is to remove any "margin for error".

The only criticism I would have is that the very scientific approach does actually make intercourse feel a little mechanical, but when you think of the bigger picture and visualize having your baby boy or girl, this fades into insignificance.

"How To Pick Your Baby's Gender" by Rebecca Washburn is certainly worthy of further consideration if you are wanting to try to choose the sex of your next child. It is clearly written, easily understood and the techniques are simple and easy to implement. What I liked best is the fact that not only the hows but the whys were explained.
