On a sunny afternoon, pregnant mother Xiaoice took a leisurely walk in the park with a big belly. Not far away, several enthusiastic aunts gathered together to chat, and one of them saw Xiaoice's round belly, so she said mysteriously: "Oh, look at your belly so round, it must be a baby girl!" Xiaoice listened, and was surprised and curious in her heart, can the shape of the belly really determine the sex of the baby?
In real life, such scenarios are not uncommon. Many pregnant mothers will hear some rumors about the shape of their belly and the sex of their baby during pregnancy. Some say that the tip of the belly is a male treasure, and some say that a round belly is a female treasure. These rumors often stem from the experience of older generations, or some online claims. But in reality, are these claims really reliable?
John. Development of the Hopkins School of Public HealthPsychologist Janet. Di PietroJustThere was such an experiment:She recruited more than 100 people who did not know the gender of their childrenPregnant motherto make a guess about the sex of the child, whether the shape of the belly is pointed or roundAs a result, only 43% of the correct guesses based on the belly shape were correct, which was even lower than the random guesses
Does that sound probable? But in fact, there are only two sexes in the fetus, and there is a 50% accuracy rate just by guessing. It can be seen that it is not entirely accurate to see the sex of the fetus according to the belly shape.
It stands to reason that the saying "a pregnant belly is a woman, and a pregnant belly is a man" should be illogical, why do rumors keep circulating? Actually, it may have something to do with people's observations and experiences.
In some cases, the position of the male fetus may make the belly look sharper, while the position of the female fetus may make the belly look rounder. But this is an isolated phenomenon and cannot be taken as a universal law.
Of course, it is also related to the 50% probability of having a boy or a girl. To put it bluntly, there is always someone who "makes up". Today it is said that the pregnant belly is a girl, and tomorrow it is a boy, then it is said that it actually looks like the belly is pointy, and it should have been wrong before. Isn't that familiar? At this point, just want to say one thing:It's really a rumor-mongering mouth, refuting rumors and breaking your legs!
What factors are related to whether the pregnant belly is sharp or round?
1. The size of the pregnant mother's pelvis
When the pelvis of some pregnant women is relatively narrow, it is relatively difficult for the fetus to connect with the pelvis, and it is often difficult to enter the pelvis, and the fetal head is mostly in a state of "high floating". As the fetus grows, more space is needed, giving the pregnant woman's abdomen a sharper shape.
On the other hand, if a pregnant woman's pelvis is wide and deep, most of the fetus enters the pelvis in the third trimester, and the upper abdomen is relaxed, so it has a relatively flat appearance.
Pregnant mother's body shape
For pregnant women with a thin body, as the fetus grows, there is relatively limited room for lateral expansion of their abdomen. In this case, the fetus may move forward more, causing the pregnant woman's belly to take on a sharper shape. In contrast, fatter pregnant women have a rounder belly because they have more fat.
Fetal position
When the baby's back is facing the mother, its back is pressed against the uterine wall, making the abdomen more prominent, so the mother's belly will appear more protruding.
Conversely, if the fetus is facing the mother, there is a certain space between its body and the uterine wall, which may make the pregnant woman's belly appear relatively flat.
All in all, the sex of the baby is determined by the genetics of the parents and has nothing to do with the shape of the pregnant belly. Therefore, a pointed or round belly cannot be used as a basis for determining the sex of the baby. Medical studies have also not found a clear link between the shape of the pregnant belly and the sex of the fetus.
During pregnancy, pregnant women should pay more attention to their nutritional intake, physical exercise and regular prenatal check-ups to ensure the health of their mother and baby. At the same time, pregnant women and their families should also learn scientific pregnancy knowledge and establish a correct concept of parenting.
Remember, every baby is unique and they are the most precious gift for parents, regardless of gender. Every expectant mother deserves to be respected and understood, and their journey to conception should be filled with love and warmth.
