With the advent of the method of ultrasound examination of pregnant women, almost every future mother yearns to know who will be born - a boy or a girl. Having learned the sex of the child by ultrasound, the future parents begin to look after the dowry for the baby, choose the color of the sliders and the stroller.
Of course, this method is convenient. Our grandmothers and even mothers did not dream of such an opportunity, and enjoyed only the old methods and signs. They are used to this day, but almost all future mothers know that the probability of a mistake in determining sex with the help of the adjective is quite large.
Determining the sex of the child by ultrasound is the most accurate modern method. For the entire pregnancy, a woman visits the ultrasound study room three times - once in each trimester. Therefore, even if the doctor made a mistake at the first ultrasound with the child's sex, then the second and third mother can see everything with her own eyes. According to international standards, research of the fetus with the help of ultrasound is carried out in strictly defined terms. Women are sent to the first ultrasound at 12 weeks of gestation, the second - 21-22, the third - at 31-32 weeks. Research on each of the terms has its goals - assessing the child's condition, presentation, accent, the presence of intrauterine disease and much more. The definition of the sex of a future child by ultrasound is made only at the request of the parents. No doctor directs a pregnant woman to an ultrasound scan for this purpose only.
At what time can you determine the sex of the child by ultrasound?
This question is of interest to most couples. According to the doctors, the sex of the child can be determined only starting from the 15th week of pregnancy. At earlier times, the probability of error is high.
Up to 8 weeks, the genitals of the fetus can not be distinguished, since they are not yet differentiated. In the period from 8 weeks to 12, their formation takes place. Theoretically, the sex of a child can be determined by ultrasound at 12 weeks, but since the size of the fetus is still too small, the result will be inaccurate. In this regard, the optimal period for determining the sex of the child by ultrasound are considered to be 21-22 weeks of pregnancy. The Kid is already active, moves freely and during the research shows his future parents who he is.
How accurate is the ultrasound method?
The definition of the future child's sex is that the specialist discovers the penis and scrotum of the boy or the large labia of the girl. Starting from the 21st week of pregnancy, the Uzzists do this almost unmistakably. At earlier terms, girls have swelling of the labia, and they are mistaken for the scrotum. Also, often a doctor can take a penis loop for the penis or fingers of the baby.
If ultrasound is performed on the last terms of pregnancy, then the definition of sex, also, can be difficult. The baby has already reached a large size and occupies almost the entire space in the uterus. Therefore, if he has covered his genitals, then there is no point in waiting until he turns around.
Modern methods of research open up great opportunities for future parents - thanks to electronic technology you can capture the sex of the child in the photo during ultrasound and even make a video. However, future moms should know that without a referral doctor should not be sent to ultrasound. This study is not recommended to be carried out too often and without significant reasons, in particular, to find out the gender of the child.
The most important thing for future parents is the love of their baby. And only in their power to make our world benevolent and bright for the future little man. And the floor in this matter does not play any role.
