The Reality Reports

Understanding How Baby Sex Is Determined: A baby’s biological sex is determined at conception by the sperm. Sperm carrying an X chromosome results in a girl, while sperm carrying a Y chromosome results in a boy. This process is largely random, which is why the global birth ratio stays close to even. However, scientists have explored whether certain conditions around conception may slightly influence which sperm is more likely to succeed.

Understanding Sleep Before Birth: Long before a baby takes its first breath, the brain is already active. During pregnancy, especially in the later months, unborn babies spend much of their time sleeping. Scientists studying fetal development have found that this sleep includes patterns similar to those seen in dreaming sleep after birth. While we cannot know what a fetus experiences, the brain activity strongly suggests early dream-like states.
