What is the difference between fetal movements of male and female babies?

Although gender discrimination no longer exists, many pregnant mothers start to pay attention to whether the baby in their belly is a boy or a girl in order to prepare birth supplies for their babies as early as possible. Checking the baby's gender has become a critical issue, but most hospitals now have confidentiality and privacy services, and generally will not tell parents the specific gender of the baby. At this time, you can judge based on the baby's fetal movement, but the probability of fetal movement is about 50%, and it cannot determine the true gender issue 100%.

Fetal movement refers to the movement of the fetus in the uterine cavity that impacts the uterine wall.

After 4 months of pregnancy, that is, from the 5th month, the mother can clearly feel the movement of the fetus. The fetus stretches its hands, kicks its legs, and hits the uterine wall in the uterus. This is fetal movement. The number, speed, strength, etc. of fetal movements indicate the safety of the fetus. Normal obvious fetal movements should be no less than 3 to 5 times per hour, and more than 30 to 40 times in 12 hours. However, due to the large individual differences among fetuses, some fetuses may move about 100 times in 12 hours. As long as the fetal movements are regular, rhythmic, and do not vary much, it proves that the fetal development is normal. Normal fetal movement indicates that the placenta is functioning well, that the fetus is receiving sufficient oxygen, that the fetus is growing and developing healthily in the uterus, and that the fetus is moving happily.

The number of fetal movements is not constant. During the 28th to 38th week of pregnancy, the fetal movement is active, and then it weakens slightly until delivery. The movement of the pregnant woman, her posture, her mood, as well as loud noises, bright lights, and touching her abdomen can all cause changes in the fetal movement.

Fetal movement is the movement of the fetus in the mother's womb. Normal fetal movement is a special "letter" from the fetus to the mother to report its safety, and it is also a sign that the fetus is in good condition. Abnormal fetal movement indicates that the fetus is currently encountering difficulties or dangers. So, you have to learn to observe fetal movements.

The fetal movements that pregnant women can feel first appear in the middle of the lower abdomen and often have several different types.

Among them is the turning movement, which is the left and right rotation of the fetus's body. It lasts for a long time, generally 3 to 30 seconds. The turning movement is larger, and you will feel a rolling and pulling sensation;

Sometimes, you will feel the fetus's limbs moving, such as punching and kicking, which usually lasts 1 to 15 seconds. At this time, you can feel the baby kicking or jumping in your abdomen.

Sometimes, you may feel the fetus trembling, moving slowly, or hiccuping.

During the day, there are two peaks of fetal movement, one is between 7 and 9 pm, and the other is between 11 pm and 1 am the next morning. At other times, especially in the early morning, fetal movements are relatively rare. The general rule is no less than 3 to 5 times per hour, and about 30 to 40 times per 12 hours.

Pattern of fetal movement

There are four patterns of fetal movement

1. Whole body exercise: Movement of the entire torso, such as turning over. This type of exercise is relatively powerful, and each movement lasts for a long time, generally 3-30 seconds.

2. Limb movement: stretch your arms, twist your body, etc. Each movement usually lasts 1 to 15 seconds.

3. Lower limb movement: This is the kicking movement of the baby that we often feel. This movement is very fast and the force is relatively weak, and each fetal movement usually lasts less than 1 second.

4. Chest wall movement: It is relatively short and weak, and is generally not easy for mothers to feel.

Fetal movement to see the gender of the statement :

It is true that boys and girls move differently in their mother's belly, so let me verify this with all expectant mothers.

About the position of fetal movement. There is a saying that baby boys mostly move left and right in the belly, that is, they move on the left and then on the right, while baby girls move around the belly button.

About the bulge. It seems that both boys and girls have a bulge in their mother's belly. The bulge for a boy is a small one, just like his little fist or foot pressing on your belly. For a baby girl, your belly will be bulging, and you will clearly see that your belly is bulging high, as if the baby's butt is sticking out.

About the way the fetus moves. When a baby boy moves, he mostly kicks here and punches there. Although he turns over, it is seldom. A baby girl may also punch and kick, but it is more like waves in her belly, rising and falling.
