Therefore, in addition diligent breakfast, young women who are pregnant should choose foods that are high in calories if you want to have a boy. Course should be limited, because if the calories are too high then it will lead to obesity and other health problems.

"A diet high in calories making pregnant women more likely to deliver a boy, by contrast with the low-calorie diet gave birth to a daughter the opportunity is greater," said Dr. Rosenfeld in a report in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, quoted from Indiavision, Sunday (24 / 7 / 2011).

According to Dr. Rosenfeld, high-calorie diets actually play a role in shaping the durability of the fetus while in the womb. Female fetuses are more strongly tended to survive despite a lower caloric intake, while the male fetus more who die in a state of caloric deficiency.

The results of this study, and identifies the trend in many countries, namely the birth of baby boys tend to decline and it is feared will lead to gender imbalance because many pregnant women who skipped breakfast.

Excessive vaginal cleansing causing bacteria Lactobacillus in the vagina is supposed to die, too. The reduced population of Lactobacillus triggers an increase in the number of anaerobic bacteria, which causes the vagina susceptible to inflammation.

Up to now really is not known exactly how the bacterial vaginosis can cause premature birth. However, various studies conducted so far has shown consistent results that all types of infections, especially in the vagina can lead to premature birth.

"More than 50 percent of premature birth was triggered by an infection. Well, kind of infection that most often the trigger is a vaginal infection that is triggered by bacteria," said Dr. Ari Sungkar, SpOG, obstetricians from the Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia (Faculty of medicine) after sworn in as a doctoral Salemba FKUI on campus on Thursday (07/14/2011).

Vaginal discharge caused by bacterial vaginosis is characterized by an increase of pH or acidity level. Normally the vaginal fluid pH range at 4.5 to the bottom, whereas in case of infection bacterial vaginosis the pH will rise to near 7.

For now, the pH probe is still difficult to do by yourself so much better pregnant women immediately see when experiencing vaginal discharge. The whitish to watch, among others, in case of changes in odor and color of the mucus and lead to itching.

Prevention of bacterial vaginosis is necessary because the costs to be incurred in case of premature birth is very large. Besides increasing the risk of death by 40-fold, fragile premature infants born with cerebral palsy, cognitive impairment and blindness.

Meanwhile, if detected early, bacterial vaginosis is easily treated with antibiotics that cost is very inexpensive because generic versions are widely available. Dr Ali suggests, pH probe as an early detection of bacterial vaginosis is important since the second trimester of pregnancy.
