Six months pregnant, can you tell the gender from the outside?

Patient's question:

During pregnancy, it's always particularly uncomfortable, and morning sickness is also very severe. Can you tell the gender from the outside after being pregnant for six months?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to the situation you described, generally speaking, it is not possible to determine the gender of the fetus based on appearance. Usually, it can be identified through an ultrasound examination around the 4-5th month of pregnancy.
This may be considered a cold contraction, which typically occurs after the seventh month of pregnancy. It is not a true form of uterine contraction, and when it occurs occasionally, it generally does not have a significant impact on the body. If it occurs more frequently, treatments such as magnesium sulfate can be used to suppress the contractions.
Please pay attention to monitoring the situation. If the fetal heartbeat is abnormal, timely treatment should be administered.
