After the relaxation of the two child policy, many families with both children are particularly concerned about the gender of the fetus. As a result, fetal gender testing strips have become popular, and many expectant mothers are willing to purchase them at high prices.
A baby gender prediction paper cup called 'intelligentizerBOYorMIRL' has recently become popular among many expectant mothers on Weibo.

2、 Is the fetal gender test strip accurate
Without scientific basis, buying and selling products is suspected of being illegal
Experts say that there is no scientific basis for detecting gender through urine. The differences in hormones secreted by male and female fetuses in the mother's body are extremely subtle, and with the interference of the mother's own hormones, it is impossible to distinguish fetal gender solely based on differences in hormone levels in urine. The identification of fetal gender can only be based on chromosomes, and pregnant women's urine does not contain chromosomes, so identifying fetal gender based on urine is a fallacy.
This type of product is suspected of being illegal, "said the person in charge of the Municipal Family Planning Commission. The" 12th Five Year Plan for National Population Development "clearly states that non-medical fetal gender identification and gender selective artificial termination of pregnancy will be severely cracked down on. Most cities have not yet reported the sale of such products.

If you are a pregnant woman who wants to know the gender of the fetus, it is understandable, but it is best not to listen to others' deception. There is no scientific basis for testing the gender of the fetus, and spending so much money to buy test strips is not worth the loss.
