Can the NT value tell whether the baby is a boy or a girl?

The NT test is a test done in the early stages of pregnancy to rule out abnormalities. Some people also want to use this test to determine whether the child is a boy or a girl. In this case, is the NT value accurate in measuring the gender of the child? It seems that the practical significance of NT examination, I hope everyone can understand what NT examination is after reading it.

Is the NT value accurate in determining the gender of a person?

When doing the NT test, the fetus's organs are already in the stage of basic development and formation. It is the first test for fetal abnormalities done in the fetal stage. It is also a screening of the fetal chromosomal status before delivery. However, this test cannot see the location of the fetus's sexual organs. Therefore, it is not advisable to judge the gender based on the NT value when doing the NT test, and everyone does not need to blindly believe that the relevant data of the NT value can be used to judge whether the child is a boy or a girl.

The efficacy of NT examination

1. It uses B-ultrasound to observe the condition of the child's transparent part, and based on the examination results, it can be seen whether the child has abnormalities such as Down syndrome.

2. Although pregnant women usually need to do an ultrasound about once a month to check whether the baby's growth and development are normal, such an examination is not a fetal abnormality screening like the NT, and cannot determine whether there are chromosomal abnormalities. Therefore, it is recommended that everyone actively do the NT examination in the early stages of pregnancy. If there are abnormalities during the NT examination, early preparations should be made based on the test results.

Basic obstetric B-ultrasound examinations mainly focus on the growth and general structure of the fetus. With the development and popularization of transvaginal ultrasound, more attention is paid to the proportion relationship between the various tissue structures of the fetus. Qualitative test indicators are used to predict whether the fetus has certain defects, especially chromosomal abnormalities. For example, measurement of the fetal nuchal translucency has become one of the effective methods for prenatal diagnosis of fetal chromosomal abnormalities.

Although the NT test uses B-ultrasound to observe the fetus's condition, the key to the NT test is to observe the thickness of the nuchal translucency. To determine the boy or girl, the doctor needs to use an ultrasonic device to take a picture of the fetus's sexual organs. Therefore, it is impossible to determine the sex of the fetus based on the NT test alone.
