At night, in the quiet village, only pregnant woman Xiaofang walked alone on the quiet road. She looked at the bright moon in the sky and sighed quietly. Recently, she often had a strange dream. In her dream, she often saw herself picking corn, and could hear the "squeaking" sound of young corn coming from the vast fields, but she did not understand the meaning of this dream. .
People have always believed that pregnant women’s dreams are related to the fetus. When a pregnant woman dreams, according to traditional concepts, we think it is because of the fetus. Pregnant women usually dream about themes related to pregnancy and future children, such as giving birth, raising children, dealing with their own children, etc. As a traditional agricultural society, corn represents factors such as harvest, health and joy. So, does a pregnant woman dream of corn, especially a dream related to childbirth, mean that she will give birth to a boy or girl?
From a scientific point of view, pregnant women’s frequent dreams are the result of hormonal changes in the body. Because the hormone levels of pregnant women, especially pregnancy hormones, are constantly changing, and these changes can affect the brain, especially the quality of sleep and the frequency and quality of dreams. Therefore, what a pregnant woman dreams about does not necessarily indicate gender or other related signs.
However, there is an ancient folklore that believes that if a pregnant woman dreams of corn sprouting or giving birth, she will give birth to a girl. The reason for this legend is because girls are called "cotton babies" in Chinese culture, with a similar appearance to corn sprouts. But we need to note that there is no scientific basis for asserting that pregnant women who dream of corn are girls based on this legend alone.
How is the connection between pregnancy and gender established? Sex is determined by the chromosomes in the father's sperm. If the chromosomes in the sperm are X-type, the child will be a girl; if they are Y-type, the child will be a boy. Therefore, pregnant women’s dreams cannot have an impact on the gender of the fetus.
Although this rumor has no scientific basis, it is still spread by many people because people always want to know the gender of the baby in advance. No matter whether pregnant women dream about corns or not, every girl is the little princess in the family, and they are all equally cute, regardless of you or me.
