ON HOW LONG TIME CAN YOU DETERMINE THE SEX OF A CHILD?

Almost any expectant mother worries about who she expects: a boy or a girl, and only a few prefer not to know the answer to this question until the baby is born. Unfortunately, with the help of ultrasound, the sex of the unborn child cannot be determined. before the fifteenth week of pregnancy , but even after this period is reached, only a qualified specialist will be able to see the differences between a boy and a girl. In addition, the quality of the equipment plays a significant role in this.

But every mother is tormented by the question: how long can you determine the sex of the child ? The most optimal period is the 20-24th week. At this time, the fetus acquires clearly distinguishable signs of sex and becomes mobile enough to performing an ultrasound procedure the doctor could see it from the right angle.

Girls heart beat faster

There are alternative ways to determine the sex of the baby, and the impatience of expectant mothers sometimes pushes them to try to find the answer to this question with the help of the date of conception, folk signs. And someone even resorts to calculations using ancient Chinese tables. But all these methods are very doubtful, and against their background, the most reliable is the determination of the sex of the child by heartbeat.

There is an opinion that experienced doctors can distinguish a boy from a girl by the frequency with which the baby's heart beats. According to this interesting theory, in girls the heart beats faster than in boys - 140-150 beats per minute. The heartbeat in boys reaches 120-130 beats. But, if this figure falls into the interval from 120 to 150 beats, then probability of correct sex determination baby is 50%. The advantage of the method is how long it takes to determine the sex of the unborn child. The heart of the embryo is fully formed by the 10-11th week of development, and at this time you can resort to a doctor's hint, albeit not very reliable.

However, modern gynecologists call this method medieval nonsense, and assure that the sex of the child can be established exclusively with the help of ultrasound equipment.


Gender of twins

It is possible to determine the sex of twins at the same time that the gender of one baby is obvious, but this task turns out to be more difficult due to the fact that two babies have much more opportunities to hide sexual characteristics from the sensors of the equipment. Because of this, the likelihood that the doctor is mistaken increases significantly. It happens that even the sex of one child cannot be established on repeated ultrasound sessions due to the position of the fetus or umbilical cord , and in other cases, when the baby is in a comfortable position, sex determination does not cause any difficulties.

HOW TO KNOW THE SEX OF THE CHILD BY THE DATE OF CONCEPT?

Parents who are worried about how to find out the sex of the child resort to a variety of methods, but you need to know that not all of them are safe for the fetus. . Among such medical methods, amniocentesis and chorionic biopsy can be distinguished. The essence of the first is that at 16-24 weeks of fetal development, a sample of amniotic fluid and fetal cells in it is taken. A chorionic biopsy consists of extracting cells from the placenta. It's being done at 6-10 weeks pregnant . But these two procedures can harm the fetus and even cause an abortion, in connection with which they are carried out only for medical reasons.

Not so long ago, another modern method appeared that allows you to determine the sex of the child. Moreover, you can use it at home. The principle of this method is the interaction of certain reagents with the urine of the expectant mother. Moreover, the accuracy of the result reaches 90%. However, this test is very expensive.

Folk omens

How to find out the sex of a child with the help of folk signs that existed back in those days when medicine did not reach a high level of development? According to popular beliefs, pregnancy by a boy It has a positive effect on a woman: she does not have toxicosis, she looks prettier. In addition, women who are pregnant with a boy are drawn to salty, and the stomach looks sharp and neat. If the expectant mother is tormented by severe toxicosis and cravings for sweets, the stomach is round and “blurred”, and the nose also becomes blurry - a girl will be born.

There are many signs by which you can guess what gender the unborn child will be. For example, if a pregnant woman prefers sweets and fruits, then, most likely, she will have a girl. If salty, sour, meat products and cheese - a boy. If the hair on the legs began to grow more slowly, it is worth waiting for a girl, if, on the contrary, it is more intense - a boy. If the future father gains weight at the same time as the pregnant woman, a boy will be born.

Conception date

If the family was planning a pregnancy , calculating the right time, then you can determine the sex of the child by the date of conception with a very high degree of accuracy. But for this, it is desirable to know exactly the day of ovulation, as well as when the closest sexual intercourse occurred to this day. Many women planning a pregnancy , they know the answers to these questions very accurately, thanks to which they can find out the sex of the unborn child.

It is known that the conception of a child can occur only during ovulation, when a mature egg leaves the ovary into the fallopian tube. It usually occurs in the middle of a woman's menstrual cycle. . Due to the fact that the faster sperm, which are carriers of the XY chromosome, have a short lifespan, the conception of a boy should be planned exactly on the day of ovulation.

According to some, an ancient Chinese table can help determine with a high degree of certainty whether a girl will be born or a boy.

TABLE FOR DETERMINING THE SEX OF THE FUTURE CHILD

The Chinese table for determining the sex of an unborn child has been around for about seven hundred years. The original of this table, discovered in one of the temples in Beijing, is still kept in the Beijing Institute of Sciences. According to legend, it was found on the tomb of the emperor.

There is an opinion that this ancient table for determining the sex of the unborn child is still trusted by the Chinese, who continue to use it. In addition, they say that a pregnant woman who finds out that she is expecting a girl is likely to go for an abortion.

When compiling this table, the Chinese were based on the fact that the sex of the child is determined the month in which conception occurred and the age of the mother. Despite the fact that many are confident in the infallibility of the results, you should not hope for a 100% result. Statistics do not speak in favor of the table, with the help of which expectant mothers even plan the sex of their future baby, because only 50% of mothers confirm that the forecast was correct. Many perceive the Chinese table only as a game.

DETERMINATION OF THE SEX OF THE CHILD BY BLOOD RENEWAL

There is another interesting way: determining the sex of a child by blood renewal. It is based on the fact that throughout a person's life, his cells are gradually renewed, including blood cells. For men, this renewal occurs every four years, for women - every three years. During conception, the determining factor is whose blood was updated last.

If the mother's blood at the time of conception is younger, then a girl will be born, otherwise a boy. In women, the blood is renewed every three years: at 15, 18, 21, and so on (we do not take into account girls under 15, although their blood, of course, also undergoes renewal). In men, renewal occurs every four years: at 16, 20, 24, and so on.

How is the sex of the child determined by blood renewal? For example, let's determine what gender a child will be born, conceived by a woman at the age of 23 and a 25-year-old man. We look at the last time the blood of the expectant mother was renewed . This happened two years ago, that is, at the age of 21. The man's blood was renewed at the age of 24, that is, a year ago. Therefore, it is more likely that a boy will be born, because the blood of the father of the child is “younger” in comparison with the blood of his mother.

In determining the sex in this way has its own characteristics. For example, it is necessary to take into account all human blood loss, whether it be blood transfusions, childbirth, abortion and other operations that are associated with the loss of a significant amount of blood. If such happened, it is necessary to count directly from the date of the last such blood loss.
