It is believed that children who are born in the Year of the Dragon will have good fate.
6pm, an obstetrical consulting room in Hoang Cau Street, Hanoi was fully occupied. Most of them were waiting for their turn to make egg scans.
Thuan, 28, said that doctors at this consulting room are very good at egg scans. Thuan and some of her colleagues had come here for months for making egg scans.
She said her first daughter is over 2.5 years old. The young woman wanted to have a son next year, the Year of Dragon, which is said to be very good for giving birth to a son.
Before visiting this consulting room, Thuan and her husband had read a lot of documents guiding how to have a child on demand and they followed instructions on food, sex positions, time for having sex, etc.
“We can do other things ourselves but only doctors can define the day of ovulation,” Thuan said.
Doctors told Thuan that she had to have egg scans from the 12th day of the menstrual cycle. “Some days I had to visit this consulting room three times a day. My husband is always ready. He has to come home whenever I call. Perhaps we are nervous so after several cycles, I have not been pregnant yet,” she said.
The woman said doctors helped spray bittern into her vagina before she had sex.
“It is very miserably hard to ‘hunt’ a dragon, but we have to try because my husband is the eldest son in his family. If my second child is still a daughter, I will have to deliver the third child,” Thuan said.
Many women are not afraid of spending time or money to visit obstetric consulting rooms to make egg scans and to get instructions in order to have a son next year.
Waiting for her turn at a private consulting room in Tran Binh Street, Hanoi, Phuong said that to save time, she had bought testing sticks to measure ovulation but it is not very accurate, so she had to make egg scans.
Many women applied traditional and folk methods to have a son, such as wearing jewelry with feng-shui stones, taking Chinese traditional medicines to make sperm stronger, calculating the appropriate month for pregnancy, etc.
Doctor Le Thi Kim Dung from the Thai Ha Medical Centre in Hanoi said that though she refused but many couples still asked her assistance to have birth on demand. Of each ten couples, only one wanted to have a daughter.
Dung said that this happens all the time but it flourishes now because couples want to have sons in the Year of the Dragon.
Since late 2010, threads entitled “how to have sons in the Year of the Dragon” have attracted thousands of members, who share ‘experience’ and ‘secret’ to achieve the desire.
Some people even want to give birth to a son on accurate time like April 1, 2012, by cesarian.
Doctor Kim Dung said that almost all private obstetric consulting rooms supplies services to help couples have child on demand, though sex selection at birth is banned in Vietnam.
