Want to know whether the baby in the belly is a boy or a girl? This should be something every parent wants to know. Everyone has this curiosity. Every time we go for an ultrasound examination, we can see the gender on the form. Is it really like this? So how to determine gender on a pregnant woman's ultrasound report? Below is a brief introduction for everyone.
How to determine gender on a pregnant woman's ultrasound scan?
1. Checking the gestational sac: By looking at the B-ultrasound scan taken at 40-50 days of pregnancy, the size and shape of the gestational sac can be observed to determine the gender of the fetus. If the shape of the gestational sac is elliptical or circular, it is for female babies, and if it is elongated, it is for male babies.
2. Look at biparietal diameter and femur length: biparietal diameter refers to the transverse diameter of the fetal head, while femur length refers to the length of the fetal thigh bone. The older generation's belief is that boys have shorter head and thigh bones, that is, biparietal diameter minus femur length is 2, and girls have the smallest difference between head and leg bones.
Is fetal gender accurate based on gestational sac data?
There is no scientific basis for the folk belief that the size of the gestational sac in B-ultrasound data can determine gender. The shape and size of the gestational sac are determined by various factors such as the duration of pregnancy, nutrition, implantation location, and uterine cavity size. Each pregnant woman's uterine cavity is different, and the shape of the gestational sac naturally varies with the shape of the uterine cavity, which is also related to the condition of the pregnant woman during examination. For example, some pregnant women may have their uterus flattened due to prolonged holding of urine, and the shape of the gestational sac may also appear flattened. In addition, some pregnant women have their sperm and egg implanted in the correct position during pregnancy, while others may have their positions offset, resulting in different shapes of the gestational sac.
So, from B-ultrasound data, the shape and size of the gestational sac can determine the gender of the fetus. This is a saying passed down from the older generation. Pregnant mothers should not take it too seriously. Generally, except for the direct view of the fetal genitalia from B-ultrasound, other folk beliefs can only be used as a reference.
After reading the introduction in the previous text, do you have a general understanding of ultrasound scans? Personally, I believe that boys and girls are the same. As long as both the child and oneself are healthy, it is more important than anything else. It is difficult for non professionals to understand the mystery behind ultrasound scans. As long as the test results are acceptable, we should keep a curious heart and wait for the baby to be born.
