Want a Girl or Boy?: How diet can effect gender and other things in pregnancy.

I come across some strange facts sometimes, and here is one for you: According to a UK study, women who ate breakfast when trying to conceive were more likely to have boys opposed to women who didn't eat breakfast that were more likely to have girls. Cool, huh? While its not a huge difference they found, it does show you that your diet affects your baby even before you conceive! So it is really, really important to have healthy habits even before you are pregnant. Even if you just think you may be ready for a baby within a few years, you should treat your body well.
