The difference between male and female fetuses

Even with modern medical testing technology, doctors can effectively tell whether a pregnant woman is carrying a boy or a girl, but most doctors still will not tell pregnant women the gender of the fetus. This is mainly out of humanitarian considerations. There is also a saying among the people that if a woman is pregnant with a boy or a girl, the physical symptoms will be somewhat different. The following article will give you a detailed introduction to the physical differences between pregnant with a boy and a girl.

The difference between having a boy and a girl

It is unscientific to judge whether a pregnant woman is carrying a boy or a girl based on changes in the appearance of her belly, face, skin, taste, etc. The difference between a boy and a girl cannot be judged solely from appearance. However, there are many methods circulating among the people to determine whether the baby is a boy or a girl. The following are some of the differences between pregnant with a boy and a girl. They are for reference only and should not be trusted.

1. Changes in the appearance of pregnant women

Judging from the shape of the pregnant woman's belly, if it is pointed, she will give birth to a boy; if it is round, she will give birth to a girl. But this is not 100% accurate. It is possible that some pregnant mothers have a protruding belly due to eating too much.

2. Changes in the skin and appearance of pregnant women

During pregnancy, due to hormonal changes and skin stretching, as well as increased uterine metabolism and blood flow, glandular secretions increase, and a woman's skin changes during pregnancy. If a pregnant woman's skin becomes smooth and beautiful, then she may be pregnant with a girl, otherwise it is a boy.

3. Changes in the taste of pregnant women

The taste changes during pregnancy are very strange, and some people's tastes are even completely different from before. There has been a popular saying that if a pregnant woman's taste is different from that of her first child, the gender of her second child will be different from that of her first child. If it is the same, then it is likely the same as the previous tire.

4. The speed and strength of the fetal heart rate

Due to the physiological differences between boys and girls, we can judge whether it is a boy or a girl by the speed and strength of the fetal heart rate. Generally speaking, if the fetal heart rate is stronger and slower, the possibility of having a boy is higher, and vice versa, the possibility of having a girl is higher.

5. Eating habits

A mother who is pregnant with a boy will not see much change in her daily diet, but her food intake will increase. Their protein intake was 8% higher than that of pregnant women carrying a girl, their carbohydrate intake was 9% higher, their animal fat intake was 11% higher, and their vegetable fat intake was 15% higher.
