Fetal movement in the upper right abdomen, boy or girl

After a woman becomes pregnant, she will always wonder whether the baby in her belly is a boy or a girl, especially women who are expecting their second child also want to know the gender of the baby in their belly. Many pregnant women notice that their baby's fetal movements are always on the left side, so they think that if the fetal movement is on the left, it means it is a boy. So if the fetal movement is on the left side during pregnancy, does it mean it is a boy?

1. Is it normal for the fetus to move on the left?

For different pregnant women, the location and degree of fetal movement are different, and many pregnant women feel that the fetal movement is always on the same side, either the left or right side. So, some people want to know, is it normal for fetal movement to be on the left? In fact, this is a very normal thing.

In fact, there is no fixed part of the fetus's movement, which is closely related to the posture of the fetus in the uterus. Some pregnant women feel fetal movements in the left upper abdomen, some in the right upper abdomen, and some in the upper abdomen. Fetal movements in these locations are all normal. In addition, as the months of pregnancy change or the pregnant woman's posture changes, the location of the baby's fetal movement may be affected. Generally speaking, the fetal movements that pregnant women can feel first appear in the center of the lower abdomen, and there are several different types. In one case, the fetus's body rotates up and down for a long time, usually 3 to 30 seconds. If the fetus's rolling posture is large, the pregnant woman will feel a rolling and stretching sensation in the lower abdomen.

As the fetus grows and develops, pregnant women can gradually feel the fetus's limbs movements in the uterus, such as "beating". At this time, the location of the fetus's movement may also be in different areas, which depends on the location of the fetus in the uterus. Therefore, fetal movement on the left is a very normal thing, and prospective parents do not need to be too anxious, so as not to cause too much stress.

2. If the fetal movement is on the left, does it mean it’s a boy?

There is a widely circulated folk saying that the gender of the fetus can be determined by where the baby's fetal movement occurs. It is generally believed that "boys on the left and girls on the right", that is, if the fetal movement is on the left, it is a boy, and if it is on the right, it is a girl. However, there are also many people who do not believe this claim and think it is not scientific at all. So, some people want to know, if the fetal movement is on the left, does it mean it’s a boy?

Fetal movement is the movement of the baby in the abdomen felt by the pregnant woman, and the location of the fetal movement is basically not fixed. The key lies in the location of the baby in the uterus, and the location of the baby in the uterus is also not fixed, and has nothing to do with whether the baby is a boy or a girl. Therefore, the saying that fetal movement on the left means it is a boy has no scientific evidence, but the old idea has always been that "boys on the left and girls on the right", so many people infer that fetal movement on the left means it is a boy, and on the right means it is a girl.

In addition to the above statement, there are many other statements circulating in the market that can identify the gender of the fetus from the fetal movement, such as early fetal movement is a boy, the baby's fetal movement is relatively violent, and the beating is a boy, etc. These statements are the same as the fetal movement on the left, there is no scientific evidence, so don't believe in these statements. The most accurate way is to do B-ultrasound, but in our country it is strictly prohibited to identify the sex of the fetus without medical evaluation, so, all prospective parents should relax and take things as they come.
