There is no scientific evidence linking urine color to the sex of the baby. The color of urine during pregnancy is primarily determined by hydration levels and diet, not the baby's gender. While some old wives' tales suggest brighter urine indicates a boy and duller urine a girl, these are myths. Multiple sources confirm that the sex of the baby has no effect on urine color.
- Myth: Brighter urine means a boy; duller urine means a girl.
- Fact: Urine color is influenced by factors like hydration and diet. The color of your urine does not reliably indicate whether you are carrying a boy or a girl.
Several reputable websites and articles debunk this myth:
- MedicineNet: "The baby's sex does not influence urine color at all."
- Pampers: "When you're pregnant with a boy or girl, the color of your urine isn't affected by the gender of your baby. Rather, it stems from what you eat, drink, and ingest."
- Flo Health: "The truth is there's no correlation between the color of your pee and the sex of your baby."
For accurate sex determination, consult your doctor. They can use ultrasound or other methods to determine your baby's gender. Relying on old wives' tales like urine color is unreliable and inaccurate.
