Patient's question:
Patient: Female, 26 years old. My skin used to be quite fair, but for some reason, it started to darken after I got pregnant. My mother-in-law said this is because it's a son, usually daughters have very good skin. Does the skin darkening during pregnancy mean it's a boy?Doctor's answer:
After getting pregnant, the darkening of the skin cannot confirm the baby's gender. Generally, after three months of pregnancy, the baby's external genitalia can be seen through a careful ultrasound examination to confirm the baby's gender. Currently, the country strictly prohibits gender screening of the fetus. It is recommended to let nature take its course. During pregnancy, it is necessary to regularly check the hospital for the baby's growth and development and the health status of the pregnant woman to see if everything is normal. Maintain a good mood, do not over-tense, have a diversified diet with a balance of meat and vegetables, exercise moderately to enhance physical fitness, and maintain a good mood.
