Patient's question:
I am five and a half months pregnant and want to determine the gender of the baby through methods other than ultrasound (such as some physiological phenomena during pregnancy). Please tell me which physiological phenomena during pregnancy can indicate whether it is a boy or a girl? For example, some old people say that sour for boys and spicy for girls, severe nausea in the early stages of pregnancy indicates a girl, women with good complexion and becoming more beautiful during pregnancy are definitely carrying a girl, and so on. Do these have any scientific basis?Doctor's answer:
You are already five months pregnant. If you have an ultrasound, you should be able to see if it's a boy or a girl! However, regular hospitals won't tell you, while private hospitals can! Of course, if you know someone at the hospital, you definitely can find out! But, currently, it looks like a girl, with an accuracy rate of 85%. If it's a boy, the accuracy rate would be 95%. Generally, doctors recommend that women with signs of prenatal examination risks should maintain a balanced diet, stay away from spicy, stimulating, and cold foods. Additionally, patients should also pay attention to having a comfortable environment, which is beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
