Swollen feet, is it a boy or a girl?

After a woman becomes pregnant, she will guess the sex of the fetus. As the country's requirements for B-ultrasound examinations become increasingly stringent, no regular hospital will do fetal sex identification. Pregnant women undergo great physical changes during pregnancy. For example, some pregnant women will guess whether it is a boy or a girl based on the degree of swelling of their feet. Is this view correct? Does swollen feet mean it is a boy or a girl?

First, is swollen feet a boy or a girl? There is a saying that if the feet are not swollen in the early stage of pregnancy but slightly swollen in the later stage, the fetus is a boy. If the feet are swollen in the early stage of pregnancy and even more swollen in the later stage, the fetus is a girl. But in fact, swollen feet during pregnancy have nothing to do with whether the baby is a boy or a girl. The sex of the fetus is determined by the sex chromosomes of the organism. If the child's genes are XX, it is a girl, and if they are XY, it is a boy. Because the pregnant mother's uterus compresses the veins in the lower limbs, causing poor blood flow, it can easily cause swollen feet. Some pregnant women experience swollen feet at 12 weeks of pregnancy. This is a normal phenomenon during pregnancy.

Second, what should I do if my feet are swollen during pregnancy? If swollen feet occur, the pregnant mother should first figure out what is going on. First of all, you need to check whether your blood pressure is high and whether it is caused by pregnancy-induced hypertension. If not, measure blood pressure and urine routine to see if it is gestational hypertension and take calcium supplements in time. If the swelling of the feet is physiological, it is best to follow the following five steps. 1. Pregnant mothers must first ensure that they eat enough protein. Make sure to eat animal foods such as livestock, poultry, meat, fish, shrimp, eggs, milk, and bean foods every day. This type of food is rich in high-quality protein. Pregnant women with anemia should also eat animal liver 2-3 times a week to supplement iron. 2. Pregnant mothers should eat enough vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits contain many vitamins and trace elements necessary for the human body. They can enhance the body's resistance, strengthen metabolism, and also have detoxification and diuretic effects. Pregnant mothers should not forget to eat vegetables and fruits every day. 3. Pregnant mothers should not eat too salty food. When you have edema, you should eat light food and avoid eating too salty food, especially pickles, to prevent the edema from getting worse. 4. Control water intake. Pregnant women with severe edema should control their water intake appropriately. 5. Pregnant mothers should eat less or no food that is difficult to digest and easy to cause bloating, so as to avoid abdominal distension, poor blood circulation and aggravated edema.
