The accuracy of determining the size of the gestational sac in men and women
In families giving birth to children, wanting to know the gender of the fetus is a matter of great concern to every expectant parent. In addition to special examinations such as B-ultrasound, gestational sac size has also become a popular method for predicting fetal gender. This article will explore the accuracy of gestational sac size in predicting fetal gender from four aspects.
Aspect 1: The relationship between gestational sac size and fetal gender
The gestational sac is a cavity structure formed in the early stage of the embryo, which is filled with sac fluid surrounding the embryo. The size of the gestational sac can reflect the growth of the embryo during pregnancy. However, the size of the gestational sac cannot be directly linked to the gender of the fetus. In the past, some doctors and experts have tried to establish indicators related to the size of the gestational sac and the gender of the fetus, but there is no scientific basis.
Second aspect: The accuracy of predicting the gender of the fetus from the size of the gestational sac is not high
Some tables on the relationship between gestational sac size and fetal gender that were circulated on the Internet were quickly exposed as “flaws” by the media. In the medical field, the size of the gestational sac is mainly used to evaluate the growth of the embryo, rather than as a scientific basis for determining the gender of the fetus. Some other methods, such as prediction based on indicators such as head circumference, also have problems with low accuracy.
The third aspect: scientific methods to predict fetal gender
In addition to B-ultrasound and amniocentesis, currently, the most scientific way to predict the gender of the fetus is through DNA testing. The gender of the embryo can be known with a high degree of accuracy through a pure blood or urine sample before the embryo is implanted in the uterus. Of course, this method requires high-tech detection methods and also poses certain challenges to childcare costs.
Aspect 4: Don’t harm your health for the sake of gender
No matter what method is used to predict the gender of the fetus, it should be based on protecting the safety of the mother and baby and implementing a responsible attitude. For example, pregnant women should stay as healthy and stable as possible in terms of diet, living habits, and medical examinations during pregnancy, and not do anything that is harmful to the mother and fetus.
In summary, although the size of the gestational sac has important reference significance for the assessment of embryonic growth, scientific research tends to believe that there is no inevitable connection between the size of the gestational sac and the gender of the fetus. After 2000, there are more and more factors that may affect the gender of the fetus, and the size of the gestational sac is only one of the indicators. Therefore, we should adopt more rigorous medical scientific methods instead of listening to rumors or using methods that are less accurate than trying to predict the gender of the fetus. Ultimately, the safety and health of mother and child are the top priority.
