I am trying to see if there are any old wives tales about natural ways of trying to influence the sex of your unborn child.....like if you eat more lemons it will increase the female chromosomes...( sorry about the spelling!) I hope someone can help me!

Ive been taking my 2 youngest kids (1 yo girl & 2 yo boy) to a home day care for almost a year now. Her name is Candice and she has a 2 yr old boy that is my boys BF now. She loves them to pieces and only watches 2 other kids part time. She is not a "licensed" provider so I can not deduct her....
The other is ny neighbor, Lisa, three houses down who runs a licensed day care out of her home. My 2 yr old went there previously. I do not care for her as a person, she is pretty indifferent. And she has an assistant and watches 12 kids. She does a preschool program, which would be beneficial and she is only 3 houses down (so no more driving-the other is only 5 min away). But something is holding me back from switching. I LOVVVVEEE my current sitter and she loves my kids. Overall, the convenience of Lisa (the neighbor) is appealing, but I love Candice and she loves my kids. I mentioned this dilemna top her this morning and she said she would be willing to drop off and pick up my son.

I have a neighbor - all three of her children have breathing problems, such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, etc. Two of them have been hospitalized for pneumonia. All of the adults in their house smoke like chimneys (she and her husband live with her parents). I believe this is a form of child endangerment and abuse. In the mean time, she collects government paid healthcare - free of charge because she can't afford regular insurance. Yet, with cigarettes costing nearly $5.00 a pack, she can afford to smoke? Then, to top it off - has the nerve to expect sympathy for having such sickly children. During the last hospitalization, she had some people from church pray around the child's bed - and others called on a prayer chain for the child's recovery. I simply prayed that the children would be removed from such an unhealthy environment. I don't consider that to be such a horrible prayer - they are, afterall, helpless children. Why aren't there laws against this?

And I know she's probably only telling close family cause she isn't very far along. I know a lot of people don't tell the wider community until after three months or so, when the risk of miscarriage is less. Should I follow the same rule? I don't want to have to go back and tell people it isn't going to happen either, and of course I will respect her opinion on the subject. I don't expect anything to happen to this baby; I was just wondering what the protocol might be in this situation.

I posted earlier that I am 35 weeks pregnant, and just had some questions. I am having some pains at the bottom of my belly (where the ovaries are and down more) Its actually starting to get worse, I know about braxton Hicks and I have had plenty of them and this is diff. As I said I am going to the doc. tomorrow but was wondering if I should be concerned because its getting stronger. Also, I was wondering can you leak without loosing your mucus plug yet? or do you have to lose that before anything can happen? Sorry Im a first time mom and never experienced these things before. I have had to go to the hospital 3 times so far and have med. to stop my contractions. However last checkup 2 weeks ago they said that I was still closed, high, and thick. So any advice on the achiness or anyone experienced this. Thanks for all your help!

My husband is a fair complected caucasian man, with red hair and freckles. I on the other hand, am mixed, half hispanic, half caucasian, with dark brown hair. I was also born with red hair, which then turned to blonde, and eventually turned to brown. I think it would be really neat to have a redhead being the fact that I am pregnant now, and I am just wondering what the chances are of having a redhead.
