Babies

Well, this is one study, but it is quite interesting. The study which appears in the journal Fertility & Sterility, and conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) and Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden, indicate that mothers who experienced an increase in weight from the beginning of the first pregnancy to the beginning of the second pregnancy may be slightly more likely to give birth to a baby boy during their second pregnancy.

Now, just don’t pig yourself out just to have a boy, because, there are other factors that determine the sex of the baby, besides maternal nutritional factors. Eduardo Villamor, assistant professor of international nutrition at HSPH and lead author of the study, said: “Other factors of which weight gain is only an indicator could be at play here.”
