I need to know if there are any restrictions in food when women are pregnant? Views about genetic testing?Where does birth take place? Do they use medication while in labor? Views about gender and deformity? Circumcision or not? Views related to fertility?

How can me & my partner increase our chances on conceiving a Girl?
... g
Is it true that iff the woman eats goes on an ''Acidic food diet'' that will increase the chances of having a Girl? Because the ''Y'' sperms 'prefer' an ''Alkaline'' environment? Also having sex 3-5 days BEFORE ovulation increases the chance? Also having sex in a ''Missionary posision'' increases the chances does it? Is their anything else i should know to increase the chances i know about the ''Shettles Method'' & everything like that just wondering because my boyfriend has a low sperm count? & we already have a 2yr old son.
Answer
acording to resurch dont have hi cal diet as u tend to get boys
A study from Exeter University reveals how we can help to determine the sex of our offspring by what we eat. âIf you want a boy, eat a healthy diet with a high calorie intake, including breakfast,â says Fiona Mathews, the lead researcher of the study.
Yet as a nation we are becoming heavier by the day - 56 per cent of British women are classed as overweight or obese. So is it sensible to give all women of childbearing age who want a baby boy carte blanche to pack away the calories?
Gaining those extra pounds may be fine for women whose weight is normal, but not for those who are already too heavy. Doing so could increase their risk of raised blood pressure and pregnancy-related diabetes if they conceive.
Although the researchers say that it would be ethically wrong for women who want a baby girl to go on a low-calorie plan, that is precisely what those women would be tempted to do. This could reduce their fertility - a rather obvious own goal - and affect nutrient intake at a time when a diet containing adequate vitamins and minerals, essential fats, protein and energy is crucial for development of the foetus, whatever its sex, as well as the mother's health.
This research should be viewed with caution. After all, Victoria Beckham has three bonny boys and she, for one, seems clearly to contradict the study's findings.
Have your say
These statistical results seem very misleading. They make assumptions that are not scientifically based. The claim from this study was with regards breakfast cereal, but that does not conclude anything about calories and does not even mention milk maybe having an effect. These claims are spurious.

It seems like it would be fairly straightforward to test this theory by comparing the rise in obesity to male/female birthrates over the last 30 years.

just because victoria beckham isn't fat doesn't mean that she didn't have a high calorie intake during her pregnancy. other factors include a high metabolism and exercise.
