Differences between pregnancy with a boy and a girl: belly, symptoms, folk signs

Differences in pregnancy between a boy and a girl can be seen at different times. You can find out the gender thanks to medical research, the physical condition of the pregnant woman, her appearance, addictions.

The genitals complete their formation by the 13th week of pregnancy. Then you can see your doctor for gender determination. Professionals measure the angle between the genital tubercle and the back of the fetus, from which they draw conclusions. The probability of getting an exact answer is 50/50.

Differences between pregnancy with a boy and a girl: belly, symptoms, folk signs
Differences in pregnancy between a boy and a girl are conditional and do not give an exact answer to the question about gender.

A reliable way is to conduct an ultrasound scan at the 24th week, when it is possible to see the floor if the baby lies down successfully. In this study, you can confuse the male genital organ with a finger, and the scrotum with the labia.

Symptoms during pregnancy

Feelings and addictions of a pregnant woman make it possible to determine who is under the heart:

  • When carrying a daughter, severe toxicosis appears, there is a poor state of health, a rapid heartbeat. The woman becomes capricious, her mood is constantly changing. She prefers to eat fruits, vegetables, starchy foods and sweets.
  • The pregnant boy is in a good mood, despite the headaches. Toxicosis does not bother her, she has a good appetite. A woman prefers meat, fish, salty and dairy foods, and overeating leads to heartburn.

These signs are not scientifically proven. A woman can feel who will be born to her on an intuitive level.

Abdominal shape and other changes

In order to find out the sex of the child, pay attention to the mother’s appearance. If she is expecting a daughter, she loses her beauty, age spots appear on her face. The woman is noticeably gaining weight in the area of ​​the buttocks and thighs, her breasts are enlarged. The abdomen is high and has a rounded shape, it spreads out so that the sides are visible from the back, and the waist is almost impossible to see.

These changes cannot give a 100% answer to the question about the baby’s gender.

The boy does not bother his mother with toxicosis and nausea. She becomes even more beautiful. The nose may become puffy or pointed. The pregnant woman has even skin, good hair. Antennae and abdominal hair may appear. A round, neat tummy sticks out forward, it seems pointed.

There are many signs that many take into account. For example, a pregnant girl going upstairs will first put her left foot on a step. If asked to show her hands, she will stretch them, palms up.

When carrying a son, she relies more on her right leg and likes to lie on her right side. If the first word of an older child is “mom”, then he will have a sister, and “dad” – wait for a brother.

It doesn’t matter who is born, the main thing is that the child is healthy and desirable.

According to taste preferences

Herring with jam, chocolate bar with roach, chips with yogurt or milk with pickles – expectant mothers often want to eat something unusual, and their desires are unpredictable. Why not think about the connection of your taste preferences with the gender of the expected baby?
People say that a mother who is expecting a daughter, in the early stages of pregnancy, experiences an irresistible craving for sweets. And if a passionate admirer of chocolates is suddenly drawn to smoked meat and pickles – wait for the boy.
Doctors say that Oriental medicine gives its own explanation for the change in taste preferences during pregnancy: each human organ corresponds to a certain taste: for example, the liver “loves” sour, the spleen and stomach – sweet, the kidneys are “greedy” for salty, the gallbladder – for tart and bitter. In accordance with this theory, it should be assumed that all pregnant boys have some kind of kidney problems, which, you see, is strange.

By changes in appearance

Pregnancy, as they say, paints some women: smooth skin, wonderful complexion, thick hair, shining eyes. Other expectant mothers, on the contrary, notice that their appearance has changed for the worse: inflammation, pimples appear on the face, the skin becomes more oily, sometimes a lot of hair appears on the face, abdomen, and other parts of the body. All this is the work of hormones. The strongest hormonal changes during pregnancy affect each expectant mother in different ways.
People say that if a woman becomes prettier with pregnancy, then she is expecting a boy. The girl “takes away” the beauty from her mother. However, the active growth of “unnecessary” hairs is associated precisely with the fact that a woman is carrying a male baby.
Some doctors say that the male hormone testosterone affects hair growth, so if a mother has a boy in her stomach, she may develop unwanted body hairs. In fact, studies show that this is not the case: the testosterone content in the blood of the fetus is not enough to affect the mother’s body and, accordingly, change the rate of hair growth.

By the strength of toxicosis

Toxicosis often overshadows the expectation of a child: the body of the expectant mother experiences hormonal stress and at first tries to deal with the “foreign body” – the embryo. Until the body gets used to the new life emerging in it, it rejects it. At the same time, some women experience only mild nausea, while others are literally “turned inside out” during the first months of pregnancy.
People say that if a pregnant woman has severe toxicosis in the first trimester, this is a sure sign that a girl will be born. With boys, mothers practically do not suffer.
According to doctors, scientists do not reject this sign either. They believe that morning sickness is a consequence of elevated levels of the hormone HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), which indicates that the fetus is female.

Gender determination by a doctor

In fact, only special tests and medical research can help a couple determine the sex of their unborn child.
These include:
  • Ultrasound examination of the fetus . As a rule, the sex of the child is determined at the 16th week of pregnancy. The accuracy of the method is 80-90%.
  • Amniocentesis. In this case, the amniotic fluid surrounding the fetus is examined. Usually the method is used to diagnose various genetic abnormalities of the fetus, but the sex of the unborn child can also be determined with 100% accuracy. It is invasive, that is, penetrating, and entails certain risks, including miscarriage. Therefore, aminocentesis is performed according to strict indications and never – in order to determine the sex of the child.
Very accurate in determining the sex of the baby, but at the same time no less expensive, is a DNA test. It is not widely used: it is carried out in highly specialized laboratories and only for special indications.
