Can the baby’s gender be accurately determined by looking at the fetal heart rate during pregnancy?
During pregnancy, it\’s exciting to prepare for the arrival of your new baby. Many expectant mothers can’t wait to find out the gender of their baby. I heard that the fetal heart rate of male babies is lower than that of female babies. So, can the fetal heart rate during pregnancy accurately determine the gender of the baby? This article will elaborate on it from many aspects.
1. The fetal heart rate cannot accurately determine the gender of the baby
Clinically, fetal heart rate is a very important monitoring indicator. However, the fetal heart rate cannot accurately determine the gender of the baby. Although the fetal heart rate of male babies is generally lower than that of female babies, the difference is very small, generally only 5 to 10 beats/minute. This gap is difficult to accurately measure and judge in actual operations. Therefore, expectant mothers should not rely too much on fetal heart rate to determine the gender of their baby.
2. The gender of the fetus can be determined through ultrasound examination
Currently, the most accurate way to determine the gender of a fetus is to use ultrasound. After 14 weeks, pregnant women can learn the gender of their fetus through ultrasound examination, with an accuracy of more than 95%. Ultrasound examination can not only determine the gender of the fetus, but also check the fetal development status and risk of malformations. Therefore, during pregnancy, it is recommended that expectant mothers know the gender of their fetus through ultrasound examination.
3. There are some rumors that it is not possible to accurately determine the gender of the fetus
In addition to fetal heart rate and ultrasound examination, there are also some rumors claiming that the gender of the fetus can be accurately determined. For example, if the belly is low, it is a boy, and if the belly is high, it is a girl. A pregnant woman with a large left belly indicates a female baby, and a pregnant woman with a large belly on the right side has a female baby. Big means baby boy etc. In fact, these claims have no scientific or practical basis and cannot accurately determine the gender of the fetus. If expectant mothers want to know the gender of their fetus, they should use scientific examination methods to determine it.
4. Maintaining a happy mood during pregnancy is important for the health of the fetus
Finally, a warm reminder to expectant mothers, it is very important to stay happy and relaxed during pregnancy. Excessive anxiety and tension can have adverse effects on the health of the fetus. Proper exercise and diet as well as good rest also contribute to healthy fetal development. Therefore, expectant mothers should maintain a good attitude and actively cooperate with doctors’ examinations so that their babies can grow up healthily.
Summary
Looking at the fetal heart rate during pregnancy cannot accurately determine the gender of the baby. If you want to know the gender of your fetus, it is recommended to have an ultrasound. At the same time, don\’t believe those rumors, they cannot provide accurate judgment results. Finally, expectant mothers should maintain a good attitude and actively cooperate with doctors’ examinations so that their babies can grow up healthily.
