Ultrasound is the best technique to know how your baby is developing inside your womb. With this simple test even you can determine what the sex of your baby may be. For many parents it is necessary and vital to know the sex of the baby, since it is a true and crucial illusion, although other parents prefer to feel on the sidelines and take their unknown until delivery.
Are there differences between boy and girl ultrasounds? Well, there are, although the ultrasound performed itself is the same, each one will reveal individually and independently what the sex of your baby is. For this there are ways to get to a viewing point that the experts can reveal you at that moment. Here we reveal what those points are.
Differences between a boy's and a girl's ultrasounds
During an ultrasound can be diagnosed many relevant data about the intrauterine growth of the baby. Along with the exposure that shows an image you can also explore your baby's heartbeat, and it really is a wonderful thing to hear and see that there is life inside you.
When can I do this type of ultrasound?
To make an exact examination and determine the sex of your baby it is necessary wait with greater certainty about the 20th week of gestation. Although there are already ultrasounds that can determine your sex around the end of the first trimester.
The exact probability of reaching this week of gestation is because it can be observed that the embryo it already molds a prominent shape or the "genital tubercle."
How to differentiate the sex of a boy and a girl?
There could be various cases in which it is not possible to make an accurate diagnosis. Arriving at the precise moment of the ultrasound many babies fail to maintain a correct position for exposure. They may be on their back, or their extremities make it impossible so they can be like this throughout the pregnancy and not allow a specific data to be viewed.
On the other hand, reaching the 20th week of gestation, members of both sexes they can be almost the same and have the same sizeTherefore, many doctors do not dare to give an accurate diagnosis due to their doubts. The absence of a penis does not mean that it has to be a girl, so the specialists they will look for other ways or elements to determine sex.
With the presence of the “genital tubercle” and the experience of an expert eye the shape of a boy's penis and scrotum can be interpreted, and in the case of a girl if the clitoris and labia have formed.
The inclination of this tuber will determine the sex: if its inclination with respect to the spine It is higher than 30 degrees, it will indicate that it is a child but yes her inclination is lower the answer is girl.
To know that it is a girl, It will be valued with the hamburger sign or the one with the 3 lines. It will be possible to determine if there are three lines that are concerned with the female genitalia: lips and clitoris. That is why it is called the hamburger sign.
To know what a boy is, will be valued with the sign of the turtle or the two lines. In this visualization you will see the shape of two lines that will represent the tip of the penis together with the two testicles. To assess with much greater precision, especially in children, it is more occasional to use the ultrasound method.
However, ultrasound is not the most accurate and safe method that can be found to diagnose the sex of the baby. We can always resort to a blood test around the eighth week of gestation, where the sex of the baby will be determined by the presence of the embryo's DNA in the mother's blood.
When my doctor did the echo he told me that he looked like a boy who still could not see well to wait for the next echo. It was almost 20 weeks. Why is it that he seems to be male, and is he, or does he think he is? Why did the genital see something or why could it be?
