My 1st was born on his due date. My 2nd was born 10 days early. My 3rd is still hanging out at 39 weeks, hoping she comes by her due date! 🤞🏻

Great video Doc! Concise & easy to follow. I get these questions ALL OF THE TIME. Thanks for breaking it down for our patients!

[@dr.martaperez]

Thanks so much! I know, it can be so confusing for so many, as we see all the time in our real life patient scenarios.

If two women their due dates are same so they can have same gender babies is it true?

[@SadieLGardner]

No.

[@soukainachaina4460]

No, the sex of the baby is determined by the male sperm because they can provide either the X chromosome or the Y chromosome. The woman can only provide the the X chromosome.
