Patient's question:
My sister is four months pregnant, and she has severe pregnancy symptoms. She doesn't want to eat meat and feels nauseous whenever she does. We're all curious to know if she's carrying a boy or a girl. Her stomach doesn't have that dark line, and we don't know what the symptoms are for carrying a boy. My sister's pregnancy symptoms are very obvious, and the baby started moving as early as three months.What kind of help do you need: Are the symptoms of a four-month-old boy obvious?
Doctor's answer:
At 4 months, which is 16 weeks, the baby's sex organs have developed, and at this stage, you can determine if it's a boy or a girl. However, if during an ultrasound, the baby is facing the mother's spine and the back is facing the belly, the doctor won't be able to see it, and they will have to wait until the baby turns around to do it again.At 4 months of pregnancy, if a boy undergoes a color ultrasound examination and the baby's position is such that the sex organs are already visible.
Now, national law prohibits the use of ultrasounds to determine the gender of a fetus, but in some illegal private clinics, if you're willing to pay, they will still do it for you.
Medically speaking, theoretically, it is generally possible to determine the gender of the fetus through an ultrasound examination around 12 weeks.
Currently, the law prohibits all non-medically necessary fetal gender determinations.
You cannot determine the gender of the fetus based on fetal movement.
To assess the development of the fetus, a color ultrasound can provide a direct and clear judgment, as it allows you to see exactly what the fetus looks like.
