Differences between male and female fetuses
One of the most important things to do during pregnancy is to know whether you are carrying a boy or a girl to help prepare your baby\’s clothes, toys, and other necessities. Three-dimensional color ultrasound has become a method to determine gender, but many people do not know how to identify male and female fetuses. Generally speaking, the differences between male and female fetuses can be determined through the following aspects.
Look at the fetal lower body characteristics
When determining the gender of the fetus through three-dimensional color ultrasound photos, it is most important to look at the fetal lower body characteristics. In this case, special attention should be paid to the length and size of the fetal sacral region. If the baby\’s sacral area is shaped like a water drop, it\’s likely to be a girl. And if the sacral part of the fetus is shaped like an eight-shape, then it is likely to be a boy.
In addition, you can also pay attention to the difference between the fetal penis and vagina. The penis and testicles of baby boys are relatively obvious and can be clearly seen in the three-dimensional color ultrasound image. The vagina of a baby girl is a distinct black spot, which is connected to the Bartholin glands.
Judge by the position of the placenta
The location of the placenta can also help you determine whether the fetus is male or female. During pregnancy, the position of the placenta often changes. If the placenta is on the left side, the baby is most likely a girl. If the placenta is on the right side, the baby is likely to be a boy.
Listen to the fetal heartbeat speed to determine
Listening to the fetal heartbeat can help you determine whether the fetus is male or female. The heartbeat of baby boys is generally slower than that of baby girls, usually below 140. The heartbeat of a baby girl is faster than that of a baby boy, usually above 140.
Summary
Finally, it is a feasible method to determine male and female fetuses through three-dimensional color ultrasound. To accurately identify male and female fetuses, you need to observe the fetal lower body characteristics, the position of the placenta, and listen to the fetal heart rate. Of course, three-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound also has its limitations. In special circumstances, such as the lower body of the fetus being obscure, the location of the placenta uncertain, or abnormalities caused by other reasons, it is difficult for even professional doctors to accurately determine whether the fetus is male or female. Therefore, during pregnancy, it is recommended that multiple methods be used to assist in determining male and female fetuses, such as combining birth control cycles, prenatal genetic testing, etc., to obtain more accurate and reliable results.
