Maine knew the type of fetus in the third month
My experience in knowing the gender of the fetus in the third month was an important and exciting experience for me as a future mother. The process began with a visit to the specialist doctor, where the necessary tests were performed to determine the sex of the fetus.
The waiting was exhausting, but the result was joyful and full of joy and happiness. I received the news that my baby would be a boy and this was an unforgettable moment for me and my family.
My feelings changed and I moved towards the necessary preparations to welcome the new baby with love and care. This experience taught me patience and to prepare for the next stage with love and care. I feel grateful for this experience that made me appreciate the value of life and motherhood.
Does the gender of the fetus appear in the third month?
The sex of the fetus can be determined in several ways, most notably through doctor examinations that occur at the end of the third month and the beginning of the fourth month. At this stage, it is easy to determine the sex of the fetus if it is female, thanks to the clarity of the physical developments.
Mothers have some signs that may indicate the gender of the baby. For example, it is thought that pain and intense movement on the right side may indicate that the fetus is male. It is also noted that male growth may be faster than female growth in the early stages of pregnancy.
In some cases, the doctor may find it difficult to determine the sex of the fetus if the reproductive features are not clear by the fourth month, and this is often considered an indication that the fetus is female.
Some beliefs indicate that the mother's desire to eat foods rich in sugar may indicate that the fetus is male.
Fetal growth in the third month of pregnancy
The fetus's limbs, such as hands, feet, and fingers, are fully formed, nails and fingerprints begin to appear, and the fetus's external ear is formed. The fetus can begin to open and close its hands and mouth, and learn the skill of swallowing. Also at this stage, the first beginnings of tooth growth appear. The reproductive organs are being formed, and despite their appearance, determining sex by ultrasound can be complicated.
The fetus's heart rate reaches 170 beats per minute and begins to move at the end of this month, when all the basic organs and limbs have been formed and continue to develop. The pancreas secretes insulin at this time, while the kidneys produce urine and the liver secretes bile. During the third month, the size of the fetus is similar to a small lemon.
Signs that appear when pregnant to determine the sex of the fetus in the third month
During the first months of pregnancy, women often experience different noticeable changes that can indicate possible characteristics of the fetus. The pregnant woman senses fetal movements in certain places inside the uterus. For example, movement on the right side indicates that the fetus is male, while movement on the left side indicates that it is female.
Also, differences appear in the nutritional desires of pregnant women depending on the type of fetus. A pregnant woman with a male tends to prefer sugary foods, while a pregnant woman with a female tends to prefer salty foods.
As for morning sickness, it also provides some indications, as the pregnant woman suffers from it extensively, and she may also experience some vaginal infections. From a medical standpoint, it is easy to determine the presence of a male fetus if some sexual signs are clearly observed, knowing that the absence of these signs may indicate that the fetus is female.
Pregnant women experience strong mood swings as a result of changes in the levels of hormones such as estrogen in their body. In addition, chest size can reveal the gender of the fetus; The truth about the mother’s body is that the right side is larger if the fetus is male and the left side is larger if it is female.
Finally, the mother feels changes in the position of the stomach, as the stomach rises when carrying a girl and lowers when carrying a boy, providing an additional physical signal about the pregnancy.
Ways to know the sex of the fetus through tests
The goal of performing these medical tests is to detect genetic diseases that may affect the fetus, and through them the sex of the fetus can be determined in the early stages of pregnancy.
A blood test is performed in the tenth week of pregnancy, especially if the mother has a history of miscarriage or if the pregnancy occurred at an advanced age (35 years and older). This examination can detect chromosomes and gives the possibility of knowing the sex of the fetus before the end of the third month of pregnancy.
As for the amniotic fluid analysis, doctors request it in special cases, such as having previously given birth to a child with deformities. This examination works to ensure that the fetus is safe from various deformities and determines its sex before completing the third month of pregnancy.
Regarding chorionic villus biopsy, it is recommended in special cases, such as having a child with autism previously. This analysis searches for specific abnormalities and chromosomes, and also makes it possible to identify the sex of the fetus at the beginning of the third month.
Does the gender of the fetus appear male before female on the ultrasound?
When performing an ultrasound examination to determine the sex of the baby, there is no difference in appearance between the male and female fetus in the early stages of pregnancy. The reproductive organs are often indistinguishable during the first trimester, making sex determination at this time inaccurate and fraught with errors.
From the fifth month of pregnancy, i.e. beginning from the eighteenth week, the accuracy of the ultrasound examination to determine the sex of the fetus increases. At this stage, the examination is more accurate, but there is still a possibility that it cannot be confirmed if the fetus is in a position that obscures a clear view of the genitals.
