Can fetal movement tell whether it's a boy or a girl?

After becoming pregnant, most women want to know whether they are carrying a boy or a girl. Every family is very concerned about whether the baby is a boy or a girl. There are also methods circulating in the market to determine the gender of the baby, but most of these methods are unreliable. The most accurate way to determine whether it is a boy or a girl is to check through B-ultrasound. Can you tell whether it is a boy or a girl from the fetal movement?

Can fetal movement tell whether it's a boy or a girl?

Simply hearing the fetal movement is not enough to determine whether it is a boy or a girl.

How to tell whether it is a boy or a girl from fetal movement?

Difference 1

The first difference is mainly to see the position of the baby's movement in the belly. 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. Girls move on the left and boys move on the right! The fetal movement of a girl is like punching, sometimes bulging here and sometimes there; while the fetal movement of a boy is like an animal shaking off its fur or moving back and forth, sometimes here and sometimes there. Look at the belly button later. If a girl is lying flat, her belly button may be flat or protruding; for a boy, it will be a small pit. Generally, fetal movements become more obvious as time goes by.

Difference 2

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

Difference Three

The third difference is mainly to look at the shape of the mother's belly. It seems that no matter whether it is a boy or a girl, there is a bulge in the mother's belly. The bulge for a boy is a small one, just like his little fist or little foot pressing on your belly. For a baby girl, her belly is bulging and you can clearly see that it is like the baby's butt is sticking out.

When babies turn over, stretch, and tap their mothers' bellies, mothers always ask fathers to come and feel the baby's liveliness. While stroking his mother's belly, the baby may feel his father's big hands and become even more joyful, making his parents giggle. Think about this picture, it’s so beautiful.

Can fetal movement accurately predict the gender of the baby?

The sex of the fetus is determined by genetic genes. Currently, there is no direct evidence that the sex of the fetus affects the frequency, amplitude, and location of fetal movements. It's understandable that expectant mothers and fathers want to know the gender of their baby before it's born. Even fetal B-ultrasound examination cannot determine the sex of the fetus with 100% accuracy. Therefore, it is conceivable that judging the gender of the baby by fetal movement, that is, relying on certain characteristics of fetal movement to infer the sex of the fetus, currently has no scientific basis.

Maybe it's because you can't see what the baby is doing in your belly, so you try to guess based on fetal movements. The research on the characteristics of fetal movement is not very clear at present, which is mainly related to the development of the fetal nervous system and skeletal muscle system. The location of the fetal movement you feel is generally related to the position of the fetus's limbs.

The fetus is usually in a flexed and curled position in your uterus, a bit like the movement of a diver just after taking off. The fetus's back can be located anywhere in your uterine cavity. The fetus is usually in the cephalic or breech position, so, in most cases, his back is located on the left or right side of your uterus. Most of the fetus's limbs are on the opposite side of the spine, that is, if the fetal back is on the left, you will mostly feel fetal movement on the right.
