Recently, some folklore methods for predicting fetal gender have attracted widespread attention. Although it is illegal to determine the gender of a fetus medically, many families still hope to know the gender of their child as early as possible, including urine salt analysis, observing the shape of the fetus and changes in the mother\’s appetite. However, how reliable are these methods?
According to folk tradition, the method of predicting the gender of the fetus by adding salt to the urine in the morning includes: adding an appropriate amount of salt to the urine for testing, letting it sit for about 10 minutes and then observing its characteristics. If the urine is cloudy and appears to be suspended or sedimented, it is most likely that the baby is female; conversely, if the urine remains clear without any changes, then the baby is likely to be male.
Other research shows that observing the growth of embryos may help determine their gender. It is said that male fetuses in the mother may release androgens that affect appetite, resulting in Pregnant womensuddenly increase their intake of essential nutrients such as protein, carbohydrates, and animal and vegetable fats and oils. However, when a woman is pregnant with a girl, pregnancy symptoms are relatively mild.
Medical experts suggest: \”Folk remedies lack scientific basis and cannot prove their reliability. If you need to know the gender of the fetus clearly, it is better to use scientific methods – such as imaging examinations and amniocentesis to obtain fetal chromosome data.\”

According to reliable data, Chinese officials have clearly banned illegal fetal gender identification activities. Among them, B-ultrasound is the most common identification method. Although its accuracy rate is over 70% and it needs to be implemented in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, it is affected by multiple factors such as physician experience, skills and qualifications, and fetal exposure conditions. We would like to remind the general public not to believe in unfounded rumors to avoid being induced and deceived.
Relevant medical discussions clearly point out that it is feasible to accurately identify the gender of the fetus only by relying on precision medical technology. Although folklore has its reference value, it is always difficult to match the accuracy and reliability of formal medical testing methods. For example, obtaining fetal chromosome information through B-ultrasound or amniocentesis can ensure an accuracy of more than 99.9%.
Although folk measures can satisfy some people\’s curiosity about the gender of the fetus, their accuracy is not guaranteed due to the lack of scientific support. The worry is that this could lead to families struggling with unpredictable gender. The actual situation is that only medical institutions with professional and technical capabilities can provide reliable fetal gender identification services. Therefore, we should respect science as a principle and rely on professional knowledge to abandon unfounded folk traditional views, thereby alleviating unnecessary worries and tensions.
