There is a semi transparent tissue in the subcutaneous tissue behind the neck of the fetus, which accumulates some liquid. The thickness of this semi transparent tissue is called nt. The examination of nt is mainly to make preliminary judgments on the chromosomes of the fetus and detect any abnormal conditions in the early stage. However, some people say that the value of nt represents the gender of the baby. It is said that the value of nt is 0.11, which means male. Is this statement correct?
Is a boy with an NT value of 0.11cm? That's not necessarily true. NT value cannot be used to identify the gender of a baby. It is an examination of the transparent layer of the neck, which can determine whether the fetus has congenital neural tube defects and other problems from the examination results. It can also screen for some chromosomal diseases.
The nt value of 0.11cm is a normal value. If the final result of the nt value is greater than 0.3cm, it is necessary to be alert to fetal abnormalities.
The most accurate way to determine the gender of a fetus is to use ultrasound instruments such as B-ultrasound to observe the reproductive organs of the fetus. However, this examination method can only be observed when the gender characteristics on the reproductive organs appear after the fetus has formed, usually after the baby is five months old.
So the nt value cannot be used to determine the gender of a fetus. The method of using nt values to determine gender is purely superstitious. In fact, as long as the baby's nt value is normal and there are no abnormalities in other aspects, the baby is healthy and healthy. Why worry about the baby's gender?
