When you walk into a crowd with a baby bump, the eyes of the people around you seem to follow you throughout your pregnancy. Since the topic of having a boy or a girl continues to be a hot topic, the speculation about whether you\’re having a boy or a girl basically doesn\’t stop until you officially give birth. The older generation said, “If you’re pregnant with a boy, your belly will be pointed, and if you’re pregnant with a girl, your belly will be round.” This conjecture is becoming more and more magical for everyone, even you.
Don’t think that only China has this statement. Foreigners have similar superstitions on this issue. For example, if a pregnant woman\’s abdomen protrudes forward, like a big tennis ball, it may be a boy; if the weight of the abdomen is relatively evenly distributed, it may be a boy. Probably a girl.
Fetal gender and pregnant belly Shape has nothing to do
Pregnancy to have a boy or a girl is mainly determined by the male sex chromosomes. When the sperm and egg combine, if the sperm containing the X chromosome combines with the egg, the fertilized egg will be XX type and develop into a female fetus; if the sperm containing Y chromosome combines with the egg, the fertilized egg will be XY type and develop into a female fetus. Male fetus. Therefore, whether you have a boy or a girl depends on whether X sperm or Y sperm participates in fertilization. The union of sperm and egg is random. Whether the belly is round or pointed has a lot to do with the physical condition of the expectant mother and has no special relationship with the gender of the fetus.
Therefore, there is actually no scientific basis for judging men and women based on their belly shape. Observing the shape of your belly can be your pastime after dinner. It\’s a good idea to use it as a topic of small talk to relieve boredom, but don\’t take it too seriously.
Why do some pregnant women have pointed bellies while others have round bellies?
The shape of a pregnant woman’s abdomen depends largely on the size of her fetus. Although boys do weigh more on average at birth than girls, the difference is not large enough to have a noticeable effect on a pregnant woman\’s bulging belly.
In addition, the position of the fetus in the uterus also affects the shape of the mother\’s abdomen. If the baby is facing away from the mother in the womb, the mother\’s belly will be more prominent. On the contrary, if the baby is facing the mother in the mother\’s belly, the belly will appear flatter.None of this has anything to do with the sex of the child.
So, those methods of determining the gender of the fetus based on the shape of the belly are actually blind.
