Several years ago I was told that a way to determine
the sex on an unborn child is by how much pain the
mother-to-be experiences during her nine month
pregnancy. If a woman experiences a lot of pain she
will give birth to a boy. If she experiences little
or no pain, she will give birth to a girl.

Submitter comment: I had some doubts about this until after my sister
gave birth to her first child. She now has three kids
and went through enormous pain during each pregnancy
and as it turns out, she gave birth to three boys.
