When it comes to getting pregnant, there's
an app for that which helps a woman track her body's
signals so she knows when the time is ripe to conceive.
Apps like Kindara, founded by a Boulder
husband and wife team, and Glow, founded
by PayPal co-founder Max Levchin, have
been a godsend to over 10,000 couples who
were struggling to start a family,
according
to testimonials from these companies. the apps can even be used as birth control, to
prevent pregnancy, the app makers says.
However developer Alain Hanash thinks he's got
an even better take on the pregnancy app:
one that can help you select the baby's
gender.
He's about to release an app called
StorkDiet, based on research such as a
study of 740 first-time mothers done by
the Universities of Exeter and Oxford. That
study found that women who ate more
calories, sodium and calcium were more
likely to have boys. Women who ate less of
those nutrients were more likely to have
girls.
While diet stacked the odds, it wasn't a
sure thing: 44% of the women who ate the
"boy" diet had girls.
The app prescribes a nine-week diet that
suggests foods rich in the appropriate
nutrients, based on the research. It also
tracks other factors that contribute to
conception. It will cost about $10, available
for iPhone and Android.
Although the app's creators believe it will
have an 81% success rate, take that with a
grain of salt — or maybe avoid the salt, if
you're hoping for a girl.
