Patient's question:
I have been pregnant for four months. I haven't experienced any morning sickness, I eat a lot, and I sleep a lot. The elderly in the village look at my stomach and say I'm carrying a boy. I don't know if what they say is right. Can boy and girl fetuses be distinguished this way? I'd like to consult about this.What kind of help do I need: What are the differences between boy and girl fetuses?
Doctor's answer:
To distinguish between a boy or a girl fetus, you can observe fetal movement:When the baby is in a sitting position, a girl faces the mother, with her little butt pointing outward. During fetal movement, the mother's abdomen often looks like a big bulge rolling around, and occasionally her little hands playfully poke out.
In contrast, when a boy is in a sitting position, his face is outward. During fetal movement, he kicks and stomps, not forming big bulges like girls do. Instead, it feels like small punches and kicks. Kicking indicates a boy, while swimming-like movements suggest a girl.
Boys generally don’t move much inside the womb, but they become more active at night when they go to bed. Girls, however, are more active in the womb.
Additionally, girls tend to move more vigorously than boys. Movement on the left side of the abdomen indicates a boy, while movement on the right suggests a girl.
If the navel protrudes outward, it’s a boy. Boys mostly move side to side in the womb, meaning if one side moves, the other follows. Girls, on the other hand, move around the navel area.
At the end of the day, whether it’s a boy or a girl, as long as they are healthy, that’s what matters. It’s important to maintain a positive mindset.
