Accurate identification of fetal gender
As we all know, parents have very important concerns and expectations about the gender of their future children. Accurately identifying the gender of the fetus can allow couples to have a clearer understanding and plan for the upcoming child. So, how to accurately determine the gender of the fetus? Let’s elaborate on it from four aspects.
The first aspect: ultrasonic identification method
Ultrasound identification is currently the most widely used method to identify fetal gender. It can detect the gender characteristics of the fetus through ultrasound, and can generally identify it more accurately around 17 weeks of pregnancy. The advantage of ultrasound identification is that it is non-invasive, safe, and does no harm to pregnant women and fetuses. At the same time, current medical technology is becoming more and more advanced, and the accuracy of ultrasound identification is also getting higher and higher.
The second aspect: genetic testing method
Genetic testing can obtain the gender information of the fetus from the genetic information contained in the fetus. The accuracy of this method is very high and can reach 100%. However, genetic testing requires the collection of placenta or amniotic fluid, which poses certain risks to pregnant women and fetuses, so its use should be avoided as much as possible.
The third aspect: serological detection method
Serological testing is a method of identifying the gender of the fetus by collecting blood from pregnant women and testing the levels of sex hormones in it. The accuracy of this method is also relatively high, which can reach more than 90%. However, this method relies on the pregnant woman\’s own sex hormone levels and may cause some errors.
The fourth aspect: Physical signs identification method
The physical signs identification method is to determine the gender of the fetus by observing the physical characteristics of the pregnant woman. For example, the shape of a pregnant woman’s abdomen and the changes in her body after pregnancy. However, this method is only an empirical method with low accuracy and can only be used as a reference for judgment. Moreover, changes in the physical characteristics of pregnant women are also affected by many factors, making misjudgment more likely.
Summary
Among the above four methods, ultrasonic identification and genetic testing are currently the most widely used methods, and their accuracy rates are relatively high. Pregnant women and their families can choose one of these methods for identification under the guidance of a doctor. The accuracy of serological detection methods and physical sign identification methods is relatively low, but they can also be used as auxiliary identification methods in some special cases. In short, accurate identification of fetal gender requires scientific methods and cannot be judged blindly based on some empirical methods.
