Praying for a Healthy Pregnancy

For the first 3 days after having intercourse	One should pray that the seed not putrefy, that it will fertilize the egg and develop into a fetus.
From day 4 to day 14	One should pray that it wil be male.
From day 14 to 3 months	One should pray that it wil not be deformed in the shape of a flat fish. (As when the fetus does not develop it assumes a shape somewhat similar to a flat sandal fish)
From the 3rd to 6th months	One should pray that it will not be stillborn.
From the 6th to 9th months	One should pray that it will emerge safely.

Therefore, during the first 40 days from conception,
one may still pray to affect the gender of the fetus.
