How to identify the gender of the fetus at eight months of pregnancy?
Pregnancy is a wonderful journey for every expectant mother, as she gradually feels the growth and development of her fetus. And pregnant women who have been looking forward to it for so long are naturally very concerned about the gender of their fetus. Although today with advanced medical technology, the gender of the fetus can be identified in early pregnancy through B-ultrasound and other methods, around eight months of pregnancy, the characteristics of the fetus have become more obvious, and the gender of the fetus can also be identified through some methods. This article will introduce how to identify the gender of the fetus in the eighth month of pregnancy.
Observe the shape of the abdomen
During pregnancy, a woman\’s belly gradually becomes larger. Around the eighth month of pregnancy, the abdomen will take on a distinctly round and wide shape. If the fetus is a boy, the mother\’s belly will become pointed because a boy\’s fetus is lower than a girl\’s fetus. And if it is a girl, because the girl\’s uterus is slightly higher, the abdomen is more rounded.
In addition to the shape of the abdomen, the waist and hips will also change during the eighth month of pregnancy. If you are pregnant with a boy, some expectant mothers will have a slight increase in waist circumference, but the changes in the hips will not be obvious. If you are pregnant with a girl, your waist will not increase significantly, but your hips will be plumper.
Observe fetal heart rate
Around eight months into pregnancy, the gender of the fetus can be guessed by monitoring the fetal heart rate. When the fetal heart rate is around 140/min, it is likely to be a boy; when the fetal heart rate is higher than 140/min, it is more likely to be a girl. However, this is only a rough statistical result and cannot be 100% accurate.
Blood glucose test
Sugar levels in the body change during pregnancy as the mother\’s body provides nutrients to the fetus. During the first few weeks of pregnancy, pregnant women will most likely need an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) to test for risk factors for gestational diabetes. So around 8 months into pregnancy, if a woman finds that her blood sugar level is relatively high, she is probably pregnant with a boy.
Focus on fetal analysis
Many people will guess the gender of the fetus by observing the fetus\’s face shape, limb length, hair and other characteristics. But this method is not accurate. Because each child has its own characteristics. In addition, fetal growth and development may also change due to acquired factors. Therefore, we cannot determine the gender based on appearance alone. If you need to confirm the gender of the fetus, you should choose to take a B-ultrasound examination or a blood test.
Summary
During the eighth month of pregnancy, many expectant mothers will be particularly concerned about the gender of their fetus. As mentioned above, the gender of the fetus can be preliminarily inferred by observing physical clues such as abdominal shape, fetal heart rate, and blood sugar. However, these methods are not accurate enough, and more accurate results can only be obtained through examination with formal medical equipment. No matter you are a boy or a girl, you should never be proud of it and never force it. Because every child has his or her own unique personality and personality, which does not change due to gender.
