How to determine the gender of the unborn child
Of course, every parent is interested in the question of who will be born: a boy or a girl. Moms and dads guess, grandmothers speak with confidence, relying on folk methods, and only a doctor can say with maximum accuracy the gender of the baby. We will tell you about all the methods on how to determine the gender of the unborn child.
Already in the 7th week of pregnancy, you can determine the sex of the unborn child through a medical examination. The DNA test will tell you the answer: if chromosome Y is detected, then definitely expect a boy, and if X, a girl. But this method cannot be considered 100% accurate.
At week 9 you can do a gender test. The method used is similar to a pregnancy test. By the color of the indicator you will determine the gender of your unborn child: orange means you are having a girl, and green means you are having a boy.
To lift the veil of secrecy, if you are lucky, you can find out the sex of the child starting from the 14th week of pregnancy. An ultrasound scan will show how the boy or girl is doing. In the 15th week there are even more chances to be sure. But the most accurate answer will be given by diagnosis at 21-25 weeks. For more pleasure, opt for 3D ultrasound.
A 100% result is given only by a genetic study of amniotic fluid; in medical terms, a chorionic villus biopsy or amniopuncture. But it is only indicated in one case - if your doctor suspects a genetic disorder.
Of course, it’s not always possible to “plan” the gender of your unborn child, but you can try. Or remember the course of events, make calculations and understand who you are waiting for.
The sex of the baby depends largely on the father, since the expectant mother contains only the X chromosome. Sperm that carry the Y chromosome are faster than those that carry the X chromosome, but they also live less. If you know the time of your ovulation and keep a calendar, you can be sure that the “boy” sperm will arrive faster and fertilize the egg.
But if ovulation has not occurred, and conception has already occurred, then there is a high probability that you will have a girl.
At the 10th week of pregnancy, heart sounds will be clearly audible. By the number of rhythmic beats you can find out the gender of the baby: if the number of beats per minute is more than 140, then there is a chance of having a daughter, and if less, a son will be born.
There are 2 ways:
- According to the blood type and Rh factor of the parents.
- By “renewing” the blood.
It is believed that blood has the ability to renew itself. For women - once every 3 years, for men - once every 4 years.
For example, if a man is 36 years old and a woman is 32:
36/4= 9 32/3=10 (remainder 2 years)
A man's blood is younger, which means it will be a boy.
First you need to find the number that comes out at the intersection of the parents' birth months. And in the second table you need to find the month the child was conceived and the number from the first table.
The ancient Chinese table appeared more than 700 years ago, the original is kept in Beijing, and you can see it above.
To determine the sex of the unborn child, you only need the mother’s age and the month of conception.
- the waist is visible from behind - a boy;
- suffers from toxicosis, skin has become problematic - girl;
- craving for sweets - girl;
- craving salty food - a boy;
- the woman became capricious - a girl;
- the woman became clumsy - boy;
- The baby kicks hard in the womb - it's a boy.
There are many methods of determination, but there is only one child. As one doctor said, in any case, after 9 months, all parents will find out the gender. Happy motherhood and fatherhood!
How to tell if you're having a girl based on your eating habits
Little girls, as they say, take away their mother's beauty while they rest in their tummy. And this doesn’t sound logical if you believe the signs. And they say that a woman pregnant with a girl, from the first days, loves sweets and eats all sorts of goodies, like pastries, ice cream, and cakes. Among healthy foods, the expectant mother may want fruits, especially bananas and oranges; some women note a strong love for grapefruits, as well as pomegranates and freshly squeezed juice from them, despite their tartness and acidity, babies with pink bows do not disdain this kind of nutrition.
If you want to determine the sex of your unborn child before an ultrasound scan, pay attention to your attitude towards dairy products. Women pregnant with babies - girls, prefer kefir and sour cream, as well as milk and yoghurt, cottage cheese. That is, lighter foods, sweet and rich in carbohydrates.
Women especially prefer to eat chocolate if there is a baby waiting in their tummy. Although pregnant women love products such as chocolates and hot cocoa, regardless of the gender of the unborn baby. It’s strange, but there are statistics, relative, of course, women who wear girls want food that they never want in ordinary life. And if mothers love sweets, they can completely give it up while they are carrying their baby.
pregnancy gender of the child
Future parents have always been interested in finding out the gender of their unborn child . Most modern methods for determining the sex of a child make it possible to obtain a relatively accurate result only in the late stages of pregnancy, that is, not earlier than the 20th week. The scientific center for molecular genetic research "DNA Diagnostics" invites you to find out the gender of your unborn child in the early stages of pregnancy. Using advanced gender determination techniques, our center can give you the answer to the question: “Boy or girl?” already in the 9th week of pregnancy. This was made possible thanks to an analysis that determines the level of fetal DNA in the mother's blood. This diagnostic method gives a reliable result from the 9th week with an accuracy of 90-95%. If you want to get a more accurate answer, we recommend that you contact us after the 9th week of pregnancy, because every day the concentration of fecal DNA containing the Y chromosome increases and the analysis gives a result whose accuracy reaches 98-99%. Experienced specialists at our diagnostic center will advise you on any issue related to taking an analysis to determine your future gender and explain the procedure for conducting it. By contacting the doctors at DNA Diagnostics, you can be confident in the accuracy of the research and the transparency of our center’s activities. After all, we employ qualified specialists with many years of experience in leading genetic laboratories in the capital. The impeccable business reputation of our center, as well as the signing of an individual contract with each client will be an additional guarantee of successful cooperation with us.
Features of the method of determining sex by mother's blood
In everyday practice, when determining the sex of an unborn child, most clinics and diagnostic centers use only traditional research methods, while the Scientific Center for Molecular Genetic Research “DNA Diagnostics” has successfully introduced an innovative American technique for decoding the baby’s DNA contained in the mother’s blood. Unlike ultrasound, which answers the question of a child’s gender identity, relying only on external examination of the fetus, as well as analysis of its heartbeat, blood flow and other parameters, the new technique uses the wide arsenal that the baby’s DNA has. Indeed, even in the early stages of pregnancy, there is a small concentration of fecal fetal DNA in the mother’s blood. First of all, this is due to the fact that the circulatory system of the fetus and mother are a single whole. In this case, determining the sex of a child by blood is based on a study of the DNA contained in the chromosomes. The method of determining sex by blood was developed in 2007 by the American company ConsumerGeneticsInc and has passed international certification. Currently, it is used by diagnostic centers and laboratories in the USA, Japan and many Western European countries. The main advantages of this test to determine the sex of a child are: - high accuracy of the results; - effective even in early pregnancy; - complete safety for the pregnant woman and fetus. The test was conducted among women of different ages from different countries of the world and proved its reliability.
Results of the analysis to determine the sex of the child
Sex determination by DNA, carried out at the Scientific Center for Molecular Genetic Research "DNA Diagnostics", allows you to identify the Y chromosome. In this case, the research results are issued in the form of a conclusion drawn up on the appropriate form. If the Y chromosome is detected, you will be given a conclusion that your unborn child will be a boy. If the Y chromosome marker is not detected, then you will receive a conclusion that you are having a girl. In some cases, it is impossible to establish the truth, which is due to a number of additional factors. For example, if your gynecologist incorrectly determined the gestational age: you were given a conclusion that you are in the 6th week of pregnancy, but in fact the period is less. In addition, the reliability of this analysis for determining the sex of the child is also influenced by such factors as: - multiple births; — individual characteristics of fetal development and the course of pregnancy; - various characteristics of a woman’s body; - first or repeated pregnancies; - gender of the child. I would like to pay closer attention to the last factor. After all, as practice shows, identifying a male fetus is much easier. However, the early stage of pregnancy combined with a low concentration of fecal DNA in the infant can lead to ambiguous results. In this case, our center’s specialists recommend undergoing an additional, more detailed analysis at a later date. We would like to draw your attention to the fact that a repeat blood sex determination test is carried out completely free of charge if you took it the first time in our center and received an ambiguous research result. A repeat analysis is carried out no earlier than two weeks after the initial diagnosis. At the same time, it is a guarantee of accurately determining the sex of the child. As practice shows, if the results of the first analysis were ambiguous, then a repeat test provides a guarantee of 100% reliability.
The procedure for conducting a test for accurate gender determination
A distinctive feature of this test for determining sex in early pregnancy is its absolute safety. Your blood will be taken from a vein; you will not be required to make any additional preparations for the test. Moreover, every woman knows that a blood test is usually performed on an empty stomach. In the case of diagnosing blood for the presence of the Y chromosome, this requirement does not apply, and before taking the test you do not have to limit yourself in food. On the other hand, there is a limitation that is associated with increasing the accuracy of this study. On the day of the procedure, a pregnant woman is not recommended to have contact with male center staff. That is why such analysis in our diagnostic center is carried out exclusively by female specialists. Before conducting an analysis for early determination of the sex of the child, a pregnant woman must provide the center's registrar with the following documents: - a certificate confirming the presence of pregnancy (in this case, ultrasound results or b-hCG analysis are accepted). You can undergo these examinations directly in our center. - a completed application form, which can be obtained from the registrar. In the questionnaire, it is necessary to indicate age, the exact duration of pregnancy, as well as information about previous pregnancies and abortions. If the above documents are not provided, an analysis to determine the sex of the unborn child will not be carried out! The test procedure itself is carried out by drawing blood from a vein in the laboratory of our center. In emergency cases, you can call a laboratory technician to your home. Next, fecal DNA isolated from the mother's blood is examined. The analysis period is from 3 to 5 working days, after which you can receive the conclusion of our specialist.
Pregnancy and determining the sex of the child
Currently, there are many traditional and patented medical methods for determining the sex of a child. After all, almost every pregnant woman wants to know in advance who she will give birth to: a boy or a girl. This desire is due to many reasons. For example, the first pregnancy is always the most trembling moment for a woman. The expectant mother wants to come up with a name for the future child in advance, buy things or arrange a children's room in appropriate colors. Mothers with many children who have children of the same sex also strive to find out the sex of the baby in the early stages of pregnancy. Experienced, responsible, attentive and sensitive specialists of the Scientific Center for Molecular Genetic Research “DNA Diagnostics” will help you satisfy your curiosity and answer your question with 95 to 100% confidence: “Who will be born: a boy or a girl?” Currently, this test is not a mandatory procedure during pregnancy, but determining the sex of the child in the early stages can identify certain risks associated with the health of the newborn baby. First of all, this is due to the danger of inheriting serious genetic diseases, many of which are transmitted to children of a certain sex. For example, only male children suffer from hemophilia, while the carrier of this disease can be the mother of the unborn child. In addition, only boys have Kleinfelter's disease, which manifests itself as atypically tall stature and mental retardation. Adult men suffering from this disease are infertile. Only female children are transmitted hereditary diseases such as Shereshevsky-Turner disease, the main symptoms of which are mental retardation, short stature, and a lower hairline in the occipital area. The specialists of our diagnostic center, after conducting a test on the mother’s blood, even at a small stage of pregnancy, will be able to identify the potential danger that awaits the newborn and conduct additional genetic studies. Thus, by finding out the gender of the baby in the early stages, parents can not only satisfy their curiosity, but also take care of the health of the unborn child in advance!
