Years go by, times change, but the mostthe attitude and perception of the fact of pregnancy and the birth of a child in the family remains unchanged. This event in terms of emotional perception is unlikely to be compared with anything else. The birth and development of a new life is an act that has delighted and delighted even the most callous people since time immemorial. The period when your other half carries a piece of your love, what could be a more reverent and important event in life. Pregnancy is not the easiest period in the life of any woman, but certainly the happiest. Happiness fills everything around - the atmosphere, relationships, people around you. We can confidently call the period of pregnancy a period when a lot of questions, worries and, of course, hopes for a positive outcome arise - the birth of a baby. While future parents rejoice at the long-awaited event, they are haunted by the question of how to find out the sex of their future child. Many are concerned about this question literally from the first days of pregnancy, and they want to get an answer as quickly as possible. The most reliable and accurate method was and remains an ultrasound examination, but it is carried out only from the seventeenth week of pregnancy. Future parents are not always ready to wait for how long, and therefore, they look for other options for a way out of the situation. The three most popular and frequently used methods for early recognition of the sex of the child include the method of specifying the sex by the baby's heartbeat, we will talk about it in more detail.
Features of the recognition of the sex of the child by his heartbeat
This method allows you to find out the sex of the futurechild, does not claim to be professional from a medical point of view, but rather refers to folk methods, which does not prevent it from remaining popular for many years. The sex of the child by his heartbeat can be found out in several ways, taking into account some features. Let's start in order: Finding out the sex by the number of beats per minute You will not find a description of this technique in medical textbooks or on official medical resources, but it does exist, and as strange as it may seem, some doctors unofficially use it in their medical practice. There is an opinion that midwives are the best at determining the sex of a child by heartbeat, especially those with extensive experience or talent. For this reason, many resort to the help of midwives, because it is almost impossible to independently calculate the number of heartbeats of a baby without specific skills and knowledge. There are several opinions on this matter that contradict each other. Some argue that the heartbeat of boys is more rapid, while others say almost the same thing, but with the exact opposite, and regarding the opposite sex of the child. It is difficult to say who is right, because the method has no specific medical basis. Gender of the child by heart rhythm According to existing versions of this method, you can find out the gender of the child directly by the heartbeat rhythm. If the rhythm is measured, rhythmic, loud and mostly coincides with the mother's heartbeat rhythm, then you will have a boy. If the rhythm is agitated, chaotic and quiet, then a girl will be born in your family. The position of the fetus when determining the sex of the baby It is also possible to find out the sex of the baby by the intrauterine position of the fetus and the heartbeat. It has been noted that a heartbeat heard on the left side indicates the development of a male child. Well, if the heartbeat is heard on the right side, it is a girl.
Effectiveness of the methodology
Speaking about the effectiveness of this technique,I would like to note that, like any other, it has its drawbacks. But sometimes it’s not just about them, but about the fact that future parents really want to look into the future and find out the gender of their heir or heiress. They believe and trust such folk methods. And its effectiveness is 50 to 50 percent. This method does not become in its indicators and results on a par with the capabilities of a modern ultrasound machine, but it gives hope and makes the dreams of future parents come true. Although, as medical statistics show, ultrasound sometimes makes mistakes too. The most accurate way to find out the gender of a child was and remains invasive diagnostics, but not everyone decides on it. This type of diagnostics involves taking amniotic fluid or a piece of placenta, however, this method is not the most humane and painless. Relevance, demand and faith of future parents are the main indicators of the effectiveness of using this method to determine the gender of the baby. According to the unofficial statistics of the opinions of future parents, the indicators that the heartbeat gave coincided with the obtained result.
Opinions of specialists
Doctors' opinion on the use of this methodfor the purpose of determining the sex of the child, of course, is ambiguous. Doctors are quite skeptical about folk methods, signs and similar methods of forecasting. In their opinion, there are several methods that allow you to determine the sex of an unborn baby with an accuracy of 98-99%, these are:
- Research on ultrasound apparatus;
- Invasive diagnostics.
But as already mentioned, only invasivediagnostics gives a 100% result, and accurately determines the gender, and ultrasound has its own percentage of error. As for all versions of the heartbeat, from a medical point of view, there are a lot of disagreements regarding the accuracy of forecasts and their correctness. According to doctors, it is impossible to determine the gender by one heartbeat, because much depends on such factors as:
- Gestational age;
- In a state of rest or sleep, the baby is at a heartbeat reading;
- Intrauterine position of the baby;
- Pose of the future mother when taking readings;
- What time of day is chosen for the collection of heart rate;
- Are there any abnormalities in the development of the child's heart.
Despite all of the above, there isThere are many doctors and obstetricians who want to shed light on the future sex of the child, even if it is predicted by its heartbeat. This forecast is harmless, not dangerous for either the child or the expectant mother, and in no way harms the heartbeat itself. Therefore, it is up to the baby's parents to decide whether to use it or not, as well as whether to believe in this method or not. To summarize all of the above, we can say that many parents want to know the sex of their child in advance, and therefore each of them uses any method they like. But is it so important? For every parent, a newborn child is immeasurable happiness and joy, and they will love him not because he is a boy or a girl, but because he is their blood and part of their blood. The main value and importance is the health of the child, which directly depends on the condition of the expectant mother during pregnancy, it is this that needs to be taken care of from the very first days.
