Is a fetal heart rate of 158 a boy or a girl?
During pregnancy check-ups in the hospital, fetal heart rate is a very important indicator. Many expectant parents will guess the gender of the fetus based on the fetal heart rate. So if the fetal heart rate is 158, is it a boy or a girl? We will discuss this issue from the following aspects.
1. The connection between fetal heart rate and fetal gender
First, let’s find out whether there is a connection between fetal heart rate and fetal gender. In fact, there is no necessary connection between fetal heart rate and fetal gender. Although some people believe that boys have a higher fetal heart rate than girls and girls have a lower fetal heart rate than boys, this is just a general statement and does not represent the whole story. The fetal heart rate is relatively high in the first trimester and tends to be stable in the third trimester. However, there are also cases where the fetuses have the same gender but different fetal heart rates.
2. Factors affecting fetal heart rate
In addition to fetal gender, there are many factors that affect fetal heart rate. For example, the pregnant woman\’s own constitution, the pregnant woman\’s emotional and physical state, intrauterine pressure, etc. may all have an impact on the fetal heart rate. Therefore, it is not reliable to determine the gender of the fetus from fetal heart rate alone.
3. How to accurately predict the gender of the fetus
To accurately predict the gender of the fetus, the best way is to conduct a B-ultrasound examination. Generally speaking, at 12 weeks of pregnancy, B-ultrasound examination will more accurately confirm the gender of the pregnant woman\’s fetus. If you don’t want to undergo a B-ultrasound examination, you can also try some folk methods of guessing the gender of the fetus, such as guessing by the size of the pregnant woman’s belly, the color of her face, etc. However, these methods are not scientific and reliable.
4. Summary: Is fetal gender prediction accurate?
After the above introduction, we can conclude that it is unreliable to judge the gender of the fetus from the fetal heart rate alone, because there is no inevitable connection between the fetal heart rate and the gender of the fetus. The gender of the fetus can only be determined through scientific and accurate examination methods. Therefore, for expectant parents who are pregnant, it is best to put aside these legends and wait patiently for the B-ultrasound examination to ensure accurate prediction of the gender of the fetus.
