Stretch marks to determine the gender of the baby

There is a saying among the elderly that you can judge whether it is a boy or a girl based on the shape of stretch marks. Many young pregnant women want to know whether they are carrying a boy or a girl when they are pregnant for the first time. Now due to national policy, they cannot go to the hospital for a check-up, so they hope to find out whether they are having a boy or a girl through other means.

After a pregnant woman becomes pregnant, the fetus will grow and develop in her belly, which will cause the belly to expand, thus forming stretch marks. Stretch marks are a unique feature of pregnant women. So, can we judge whether the baby is a boy or a girl by stretch marks?

Many seniors also say that the location of the stretch marks on the belly button can determine the gender of the baby. That is, if the pregnancy line above the pregnant woman's navel is obviously biased to the left, the chance of having a boy is greater. If it is obviously biased to the right, the chance of having a girl is greater. Some people also look at the thickness of stretch marks. Many old veterans say that the thickness of stretch marks can be used to determine the gender of the baby. That is, pregnant women with narrow stretch marks are likely to give birth to boys, while pregnant women with wide stretch marks are likely to give birth to girls. Look at the width of the stretch marks. More senior people say that the width of the stretch marks can determine the gender of the baby. That is, pregnant women with fine stretch marks tend to give birth to boys, while pregnant women with thick stretch marks tend to give birth to girls.

But in fact, medically, stretch marks cannot determine whether the baby is a boy or a girl. Because stretch marks grow differently depending on individual skin characteristics. Some men who suddenly gain weight and then lose weight will also have stretch marks. The depth of the rash in pregnant women is determined by the hormone levels in their bodies. Therefore, stretch marks cannot determine whether the baby is a boy or a girl.

A more scientific statement is that you cannot simply judge whether a pregnant woman is carrying a boy or a girl based on the shape of her stretch marks. In today's society, the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls is becoming less and less popular, so in a family it doesn't matter much whether the baby is a boy or a girl. As long as the baby is born healthy, that's the best.
