How to identify boys and girls on NT list
The NT sheet is an important examination report during pregnancy screening, which contains some important indicators of the fetus. Many expectant mothers want to use the NT list to predict the gender of their fetus. In fact, this is completely achievable. Below we will introduce how to identify boys and girls from the NT list from four aspects.
The first aspect: gestational age analysis
The NT value is one of the most important indicators on the NT list. In layman\’s terms, it is the degree of expansion of the soft tissue on the fetal neck and back. The NT value is related to the gestational age, so the gestational age must be determined first to determine whether the NT value is normal and then to know the gender of the fetus. At a certain gestational age, the larger the NT value, the more likely it is a boy; and the smaller the NT value, the more likely it is a girl. Generally speaking, if the gestational age is more than 12 weeks and the NT value is greater than 2.5mm, it is likely to be a boy; if the NT value is less than 2.5mm, it is likely to be a girl.
The second aspect: serum analysis
During the NT test, the doctor will also test the b-hcg and PAPP-A levels of pregnant women. These two indicators are important indicators that reflect the health of the fetus and can also be used to help predict the gender of the fetus. Generally speaking, if b-hcg levels are high and PAPP-A levels are low, it\’s probably a boy; if b-hcg levels are low and PAPP-A levels are high, it\’s probably a girl.
The third aspect: uterine position analysis
During pregnancy, the position of the uterus can also reflect the gender of the fetus. If the fetus is a boy, the uterus is positioned relatively high; if the fetus is a girl, the uterus is positioned low. Of course, this indicator is not very accurate because the position of the uterus is affected by many factors, such as the height and weight of the pregnant woman.
The fourth aspect: heart rate analysis
A fetus\’s heart rate can also reflect its gender. Generally speaking, boys\’ heart rates are slightly faster than girls\’. If the fetal heart rate of a pregnant woman exceeds 140 beats/minute, it may be a boy; if the fetal heart rate is less than 140 beats/minute, it may be a girl.
Summary
Through the analysis of the above aspects, we can get certain fetal gender prediction results on the NT list. Of course, these indicators are not absolutely accurate, so the final judgment still requires the professional judgment of a doctor. In addition, although predicting the gender of the fetus is very important, it does not affect the love and attention to the fetus. Whether they are boys or girls, we should love them equally and pay attention to their healthy growth.
