Is it a boy or a girl if the belly button is protruding?

Many friends are actually very interested in the gender of their children after they become pregnant, especially some families have more traditional ideas and want to know the gender of the child in advance. There are rumors that a girl with a protruding belly button is going to be a boy, but this statement has no scientific basis. The gender of a child is determined by chromosomes, so the gender of the fetus cannot be determined from the appearance of the pregnant woman.

1. What is the reason for a bumpy belly button after pregnancy?

The changes in the belly button after pregnancy vary from person to person. For some pregnant women, it may remain unchanged, while for others, the changes are significant. The reasons for the changes are also multifaceted, including the pregnant woman's own physical condition, skin structure, fetal movement and uterine changes, all of which can cause the pregnant woman's belly button to bulge. I remember that when I was pregnant, my belly button didn't change much. It was only after the fetal movement started that I noticed that my belly button was a little bit bulging. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, and it recovered after I gave birth.

2. Can the gender of the fetus be determined based on the convexity and concavity of the belly button?

There is no scientific basis for determining the gender of the fetus based on the convexity and concavity of the belly button. Changes in the convexity and concavity of the belly button are caused by changes in the pregnant mother and the fetus and have no correlation with the gender of the fetus. The elders are only guessing based on their personal experience, either a boy or a girl, with a 50% accuracy rate, so the chance of guessing right is still very high. Pregnant mothers should just laugh at this statement, but don’t take it seriously!

3. What is the correct way to determine the gender of the fetus?

With the development of modern medicine, we now have very scientific means to identify the sex of the fetus, namely three: color ultrasound, DNA blood test, and amniocentesis. These methods must be implemented in the hospital, so if the pregnant mother really wants to know the baby's gender, she doesn't need to listen to others, she can go directly to the hospital to see a doctor to confirm it. When I was pregnant, I didn't consider the gender of the baby. My idea at the time was: it doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl as long as it's healthy. Therefore, the focus during pregnancy was on ensuring nutrition, adequate rest, and regular prenatal checkups.

Key Tip: If you can really tell the gender of the fetus from the changes in the pregnant mother's body, it would be amazing. However, it is precisely because of these folk rumors that the pregnancy process is somewhat interesting. Pregnant mothers should still pay more attention to their own bodies.
