How to choose baby's sex

 

It is illegal to use medical methods to choose the gender of your baby. In addition, it is unethical to choose the sex of your baby.

Nonetheless, a couple who has three girls and wants to try conceiving again would love to have a boy this time. And, vice versa for a couple who has all boys.

There are old wives' tales, pregnancy kits and even various methods that claim to help couples choose the sex of their baby. Just Google “gender selection” and you'll find various options.

What is the truth and which of these are just empty promises, lies and outrageous claims?

Obstetrician & gynaecologist and fertility specialist Dr Ng Kok Chong tries to clear the air on the issue.

He begins by asserting that gender selection is indeed unethical.
