12 weeks nt value is a boy

If you neglect various routine physical examinations during pregnancy, even if there are some symptoms, it will be difficult to detect them, so everyone should understand the plans for various examinations. In addition, some parents are looking forward to knowing the gender of the fetus. So what is the nt value at 11-12 weeks for a boy?

The 12-week nt value actually has no significant relationship with whether it is a boy or a girl, so don't refer to it casually. The sex of the fetus is related to genes and usually has little to do with the nt value. In order to know the sex of the baby as soon as possible, many parents often make random guesses, including the pregnant woman's body shape or belly size, etc., which is actually not a scientific method.

The NT examination mainly refers to the nuchal translucency observation, which can determine whether the fetus has obvious abnormalities in this position, and is usually a type of pregnancy check. Abnormal symptoms in these locations, including chromosomal abnormalities or fetal abnormalities, can be solved more quickly if they are discovered early.

Nowadays, there are many ways to detect the gender of the fetus, but according to Chinese law, the gender of the fetus cannot be disclosed to parents. In fact, boys and girls are similar. As long as parents choose appropriate maintenance plans according to the growth and health stage of each child, the baby will grow up healthier and create a happy family atmosphere.

The practical significance of NT examination

1. In addition to chromosomal abnormalities, some fetuses with normal chromosomes but common fetal defects or syndromes may also have abnormalities detected by NT test, such as fetal heart malformations, diaphragmatic hernia; motor system errors such as chondrodysplasia; malformations of the neck and head and face; lymphatic vascular abnormalities, etc.

2. Reports show that the miscarriage rate and perinatal mortality rate of fetuses with increased NT are significantly increased. If the NT is greater than 2.5 mm, 80% of the deformity has already occurred.

3. During the 11th to 14th week of pregnancy, if the fetus has Down syndrome or has poor heart development, the nuchal translucency will become thicker. It is generally considered a good time to accurately measure NT between 10 and 14 weeks, when the arm-head diameter is equivalent to 45 to 84 mm. It can be accurately measured by transabdominal or transvaginal ultrasound. The thickness of NT can be accurately measured with 98% to 100% accuracy at 10 to 13 weeks, while it drops to 11% at 14 weeks.

In general, these are some understandings and opinions on the issue of distinguishing between a boy and a girl based on the 12-week nt value. I hope the above introduction will be helpful to everyone. In fact, it is the same whether you are pregnant with a boy or a girl, as long as the child is healthy. We should still focus on the baby's health rather than the baby's gender.
