Is it a boy or a girl if the belly is round during pregnancy

Generally speaking, pregnant women's abdomen begins to expand significantly when they enter the second trimester of pregnancy. At 38 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus has almost fully grown. The pregnant mother's abdomen will not change significantly. Many people in the folks say that the gender of the baby can be seen from the pregnant mother's abdomen. Then, is it a boy or a girl if the belly is round at 38 weeks of pregnancy? Let's find out with the editor below.

38 weeks pregnant round belly boy girl

The older generation often says that if the pregnant mother's belly looks pointed, she is carrying a boy, and if the pregnant mother's belly looks round, she is carrying a girl. However, some experts suggest that if the pregnant woman has a short upper body, the space for the baby to grow can only expand outward, so the abdomen will appear round. On the contrary, pregnant women have long upper bodies, which can provide sufficient space for the baby to grow, and the abdomen does not need to protrude. It is unreasonable to determine the gender of the baby based on the appearance of the pregnant woman's abdomen.

What are the reasons for the different appearance of pregnant women's stomachs?

1. Amniotic fluid flow. If there is more amniotic fluid, the pregnant woman's abdomen will be bigger. If there is less amniotic fluid, the pregnant woman's abdomen will of course be smaller.

2. Physical fitness of pregnant women. If the pregnant woman is naturally tall and strong, or does little exercise during pregnancy and rests frequently, her belly will naturally be bigger.

3. Fetal position. When the baby is in a transverse position, the pregnant woman's abdomen will be fatter than that of pregnant women with other normal fetal positions.

The above is the editor’s summary of relevant information on the issue of whether to determine the boy or girl with a round belly at 38 weeks of pregnancy. I hope it can help everyone. The size of a pregnant woman's abdomen during pregnancy varies from person to person. The pregnant woman's diet and physical condition may often affect the appearance and size of her belly. Therefore, everyone should not trust too much in the folk methods of determining the baby's gender. Scientific fetal care is the most important.
