The gender of a baby is the most curious for every mom and dad. There are many folk ways to determine the gender of a baby, such as judging it as sour or spicy based on the taste of the pregnant woman, or judging it based on the shape of the pregnant woman's belly. Another theory is that it can be distinguished by fetal movement, but is it a girl who arches back and forth during fetal movement? Let's learn about it together with the editor below.
The fetal movement arches back and forth, it's a girl
Fetal movement refers to the movement of the fetus in the uterine cavity that impacts the uterine wall. The fetus reaches out, kicks, and impacts the uterine wall inside the uterus, which is called fetal movement. After 4 months of pregnancy, fetal activity can be clearly felt. Generally speaking, the frequency and frequency of fetal movements vary with the gestational age. In addition, the sensitivity of the pregnant woman's own senses can also affect the actual sensation of fetal movement. Some babies are lively and may have larger movements, while others are quieter. There is no scientific basis for using the sensation of fetal movement to determine the gender of a baby.
There are several types of fetal movements
1. Fetal movement in early pregnancy
There are several different types of fetal movements observed by ultrasound in early pregnancy. At 7-8 weeks of pregnancy, slight wavy movements of the embryo can be seen; Small twitching occurs around 9 weeks; More pronounced after 9 weeks; Strong tics can be seen between 9-10 weeks; After 10 weeks, there will be strong movements such as drifting, floating, and jumping.
2. Fetal movement after mid pregnancy
There are more types, such as jumping, full body movements, isolated upper or lower limb movements, bending and extending the head, turning the head, turning around, stretching, opening the mouth, touching the face with hands, yawning, sucking, swallowing, etc. These exercises reach their peak between 13-15 weeks of pregnancy and gradually decrease after 17 weeks.
3. Fetal Movement after Full Term
After approaching full-term, especially after 38 weeks, there is less significant whole-body movement, and only eye movement, mouth opening, hand movement, and respiratory movement can be observed.
Although there are many methods among the public to determine the gender of a baby, most of them lack scientific basis. Parents should not blindly try, as improper operation may affect the development of the baby. As for the gender of the baby, since the doctor did not disclose it, let's wait and see. Everything will be known after the baby is born, there is no need to rush.
