The main point of pregnancy spots is that pregnant women will develop dark spots such as chloasma or butterfly spots on their arms and faces during pregnancy. There is a saying on the Internet that you can tell whether the baby in your belly is a boy or a girl based on the pregnancy spots. So, will having pregnancy spots give birth to a boy or a girl? The following web editor will introduce to you how to judge whether to have a boy or a girl based on pregnancy spots.

Pregnancy spots: will I have a boy or a girl?

During pregnancy, many people will develop chloasma or yellow spots on their faces, as well as butterfly-shaped spots. Due to endocrine changes during pregnancy, the nipples, midline of the abdomen and private parts of most pregnant women become darker in color. Some pregnant women develop dark brown spots on their faces after four months of pregnancy. These spots cover the bridge of the nose, cheeks, and forehead, and are in the shape of a butterfly. These are called "pregnancy spots." If there were dark spots before pregnancy, they will be more severe now. Generally, after a pregnant woman gives birth, the color will gradually become lighter, but it is difficult to completely disappear.

Many people guess the gender of a baby when they see a woman getting pregnant. There are also many different names for the gender of a baby in folklore. So, does pregnancy spots mean it will be a boy or a girl? In fact, pregnancy spots cannot determine the gender of the baby. It is a change in the female body caused by estrogen. Its alias is chloasma, and in traditional Chinese medicine it is also called butterfly spots, liver spots, and pregnancy spots. It is often called butterfly spots because its appearance is often symmetrical like a butterfly; it is called "pregnancy spots" because many pregnant women will have such skin symptoms; it is called liver spots because its appearance is sometimes accompanied by liver diseases, such as hepatitis, liver cancer, etc. Of course, the appearance of liver spots is not necessarily caused by liver disease. But don't worry, not every woman will develop "butterfly spots" after giving birth, and they will disappear one year after giving birth.

To prevent pregnancy spots, women can do the following during pregnancy:

1. Pay attention to sun protection and isolation, try to reduce sun exposure. Direct sunlight can aggravate pregnancy spots. Wear a hat or parasol when going out.

2. Quit bad habits such as smoking, drinking, staying up late, etc.

3. Get enough sleep, maintain your mental state, and keep a stable mentality.

4. Avoid irritating foods: Foods containing irritants can easily cause skin aging.

5. Drink more water, eat more vegetables and fresh fruits, vitamin B and vitamin C ingredients

Four anti-spot ingredients: tomatoes, lemons, milk, and bran ingredients

6. Facial massage should be appropriate. Once a day, use your hands or fingers to rhythmically massage the skin in all directions, for no more than 5 minutes each time, with a gentle and cheerful movement.

7. Hot water pipe cleaning. Consistently washing the spots on your face with cold water and hot water alternately can promote blood circulation in the corresponding areas and accelerate the dissolution of pigments.

What are the characteristics of having a boy or a girl?

The body of a pregnant woman will have different degrees of pregnancy reactions. Some parents want to know in advance whether they will have a boy or a girl, so they want to use various methods to infer whether it is a boy or a girl. The symptoms of pregnancy vary from woman to woman. Some people believe that the characteristics of a boy or girl are different when a pregnant woman is pregnant with a boy or a girl. That is, the physical experience of a pregnant woman when she is pregnant with a boy or a girl is different. Here are some things that pregnant women can refer to:

Different characteristics of pregnant women giving birth to boys and girls:

1. If there is no morning sickness in the early stages of pregnancy (that is, the first three months of pregnancy), it is a boy; if there is severe morning sickness in the early stages of pregnancy, it is a girl.

2. If the fetal heartbeat is less than 140 beats per minute, it means you are pregnant with a boy; if the fetal heartbeat is at least 140 beats per minute, it means you are pregnant with a girl.

3. The color of the nipple should become darker, indicating a boy; otherwise, a girl.

4. If the belly becomes increasingly prominent and looks like a fully inflated, firm, round basketball, it indicates that you are pregnant with a boy. If the belly becomes increasingly prominent and looks like a watermelon but does not look as round as a ball, it indicates that you are pregnant with a girl.

In fact, there is no sufficient scientific evidence to support the above statement. The initial morning sickness reaction is because the level of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) rises rapidly in the early stages of pregnancy, which in turn inhibits the metabolism of gastric acid and reduces gastrointestinal motility, thereby affecting the appetite and digestion and absorption of pregnant mothers. Whether you are giving birth to a boy or a girl, morning sickness is likely to occur. The real experiences of many pregnant women also show that the intensity of morning sickness has nothing to do with the identification of the sex of the fetus.

Secondly, it is unreliable to use the fetal heart rate to determine the baby's gender. This term is only based on what we call "common sense", that is, for adults, men's heart rate is generally lower than women's heart rate. The heartbeat of a girl is higher than that of a boy, but this is only the case when she is just born. When they are still fetuses, there is no difference in the heartbeat of a boy or a girl.

In addition, statements like "black nipples mean you're pregnant with a boy" should not be believed. Nipple color is not a factor in determining the sex of a fetus. After pregnancy, the corpus luteum copper in the pregnant mother's body will stimulate the increase of female hormones in melanocytes, causing some originally dark areas of the epidermis to become darker. Therefore, if you are pregnant with a girl, your nipples will also turn black. And because of the metabolism of estrogen, the breasts of pregnant women will expand to varying degrees, which has nothing to do with the identification of the sex of the fetus.

Although the practice of determining the sex of the fetus based on the tip and roundness of the belly is widespread, it is not accurate. Because everyone's body shape is different, the amount of body fat is different, and the shape of the pelvis will also be different. Relatively speaking, a fatter person will have a rounder belly when she is pregnant. On the contrary, if the mother is thinner, the belly will be pointed. In fact, it is related to the pregnant woman's pelvis. If the pelvis is spacious, the fetal head will be in the pelvis and the abdomen will be lower; if the pelvic passage is small, the fetal head will float high and the abdomen will be high.
