Pregnancy nipples turn darker boy girl

In the past, many people favored boys over girls, but now people are very open-minded and believe that boys and girls are the same. However, many people are curious about the gender of their child when they are pregnant. It is not necessarily that they prefer boys to girls, but they want to know in advance whether they are giving birth to a boy or a girl. So, does it matter if nipples turn dark during pregnancy, boy or girl?

It is said that if the nipples darken and begin to turn black during pregnancy, you are expecting a boy. In fact, there is no basis for this statement. The editor would like to say that if you also hold this idea, you may be disappointed. It is not reliable to say that black nipples will give birth to a boy. There is another mystery behind it. The nipples of a pregnant woman who is giving birth to a girl may also be black.

What causes nipples to turn dark after pregnancy?

Experts say: Nipple color is affected by hormones in the body. The increase in progesterone and melanocyte-stimulating hormone levels during pregnancy causes some originally dark areas on the body surface to become darker.

Tips:

The darkening of the nipples will recover quickly after giving birth, and this phenomenon has nothing to do with the gender of the fetus.

How to Scientifically Determine the Gender of a Baby

1. Ultrasound data

Many pregnant women want to identify the sex of their fetus or know the gender of their baby in advance through B-ultrasound data, and have gynecologists tell them the sex of the fetus. Of course, the experience, skills, and years of service of the obstetrician and gynecologist will affect the accuracy, so there are many uncertainties in identifying the sex of the fetus through B-ultrasound, and the accuracy rate is only about 70%.

2. Amniotic fluid/chorionic villus sampling

The sex of the fetus can be determined by drawing amniotic fluid for testing, and the accuracy rate is 100%, but there are two problems with amniotic fluid. The first is that it can be performed after about 10-11 weeks of pregnancy. The second is the key issue. Extracting amniotic fluid is an invasive test, which poses certain risks to the fetus and pregnant women, and has a relatively high risk of miscarriage.

Notice:

Therefore, amniotic fluid extraction is usually used for medical purposes such as identifying whether the fetus has congenital diseases such as Down syndrome, and is rarely used to identify the sex of the fetus. The most serious thing is that during the process of extracting amniotic fluid, pregnant women may be infected with bacteria or suffer from amniotic fluid infarction. The risk cannot be ignored!

3. DNA maternal blood identification

With current medical technology, the most reliable and safe way to know the gender of a baby is through DNA testing of the mother's blood. This identification method is very popular in foreign countries and Hong Kong. Gender identification is prohibited in our country, and only Hong Kong can do fetal gender identification. The main identification agencies in Hong Kong include Hong Kong Antenatal Consultant Centre, Zentroge, etc. Pregnant women only need to draw about 10cc of blood from their arms for testing, with an accuracy rate of 99.5%. The test can be performed as early as 6 weeks of pregnancy, making it the safest and most accurate method of identification.
