Darkening breasts during pregnancy

The physical condition of pregnant women is very different from that of normal adults. First of all, due to pregnancy, the hormone secretion in pregnant women is different from that of ordinary people. The various hormone levels in normal women's bodies should be balanced, while pregnant women will secrete a large amount of estrogen and progesterone, causing many changes in their bodies. So is it normal for breasts to become darker during pregnancy?

Because of pregnancy, a large amount of hormones are secreted in the pregnant woman's body; during the 3rd to 5th month of pregnancy, the melanin receptors on the pregnant woman's face are gradually activated by the influence of estrogen and other factors, followed by pigmentation, rough skin, darkening of the skin and other phenomena, and as the pregnancy period increases, these symptoms will become more and more obvious.

The same is true for the darkening of nipples, armpits and abdomen of pregnant women. Part of it is due to the influence of hormones in the body, and the other part is due to the external ultraviolet rays, which activate and show melanin, causing the armpits, abdomen and other parts of the pregnant woman to darken. Therefore, it is normal for some parts of the body to turn darker during pregnancy, and it has no direct relationship with whether the baby is a boy or a girl. The theory that "pregnant women turn darker to give birth to boys" is totally untenable. Some of these darkened areas will gradually fade as the baby is born, but some will not.

Although it cannot determine whether the baby is a boy or a girl, there are some methods that can largely determine whether it is a boy or a girl. According to the ultrasound report, if the length and width are more than twice, it is a boy, and if the length and width are equal, it is a girl; calculate according to the Qing Palace Chart. Of course, this is only a reference for the baby's gender at birth. It has no scientific basis, and the guessed result may not be 100% accurate.

Observe the pregnancy line. If it is biased to the left, it is a boy, if it is biased to the right, it is a girl; observe the fetal movement. If the baby moves before 16 weeks, it is a boy, if it moves after 16 weeks, it is a girl. Those born early are boys, and those born late are girls.

In fact, many folk sayings are just rumors and have no scientific basis. Does darkening breasts during pregnancy mean the baby is a boy? This statement has no scientific basis. Darkening breasts is just a physical change of pregnant women after pregnancy and has nothing to do with whether the baby is a boy or a girl. If you want to know the baby's gender, you still have to rely on scientific methods to check.
