Pregnancy Questions and Answers

Question:
How is it decided whether I will have a boy or a girl?
Answer:
The sex of the baby is determined at the time of fertilization. If a sperm carrying a Y chromosome fertilizes the egg, it results in a male child; a sperm carrying an X chromosome results in a female child. It's all determined when the sperm fertilizes your egg.
