Is the Baby Girl or Boy????

For centuries, expectant parents had to wait until the moment of birth to learn the sex of their babies. Of course there have always been old wives' tales and superstitions about figuring out baby gender. Below are a few examples of old wives' tales that I know;

1. Ancient Chinese Pregnancy Calendar

2. Wedding Ring Gender Prediction

Take off your wedding ring and put a thread thru the wedding ring. Dangle the wedding ring over the mom's pregnant belly while lying down. If the wedding ring swings in a circle motion then it's a GIRL! If it moves back and forth like a pendulum then it's a BOY!

3. Your Eyeballs Knows!

Look in the mirror and pull down the skin under your LEFT eye. Look at the white part of your eyeball. Do you see a vein that looks like a 'V' or branches? If so then it's a GIRL!

4. The way you carrying your baby

Look at yourself in the mirror, full length - wow you are beautiful (^_^). Now turn to the side and see whether your tummy is high or lowered? If it's high then congratulation! It COULD BE a GIRL! If your tummy is lowered then congratulation! It COULD BE a BOY!

Did any of the above old wives' tales prove your baby's sex correctly?

In modern days, you don't need to be puzzled and wait till your baby delivered to prove all these old wives' tales. Thanks to the wonders of modern technology, moms and dads these days are able to find out their baby's gender with ultrasound months before delivery. Ultrasound don't just reveal the baby's gender; the procedure is done mainly to take an early look at the fetus to make sure it's developing properly. 

The male and female sex organs can appear similar at 4th to 6th weeks and start to differentiate at 10th weeks for male and 20 weeks for females. The majority of couples find out their baby's gender during 2nd trimester ultrasound (18th-26th weeks of pregnancy). For some newer and advanced ultrasound technology, the baby's gender can be determined as early as 12th or 13th weeks!

Having ultrasound to find out your baby's gender is a fairly straightforward and safe procedure, and many expectant parents want to know this before the baby is born. That way, they can settle on a name for the baby, start decorating the nursery and buy for clothing for either a girl or a boy. Baby shower gift choices are also simpler this way. Some people feel this might also strengthen the bond with the baby, who now has a specific identity.

Nuchal Translucency Screening

What is Nuchal Translucency?

 Nuchal translucency (NT) is the sonographic appearance of a collection of fluid under the skin behind the fetal neck in the first-trimester of pregnancy.

Who Nuchal Translucency screening is for?

NT screening is available for any pregnant woman. However it can be especially helpful for;

->  Older moms-to-be (>40 years old)

-> Family history of Chromosomal abnormalities

-> Mother who may be hesitant about more invasive genetic testing, like CVS and amniocentesis, because of the increased risk of miscarriage associated with them.

How accurate this Nuchal Translucency screening is?

The accuracy of the test is, however, dependent on the;

->  Skill of the sonographer performing it

-> The sensitivity of the equipment

NT measurements are not conclusive, so the NT screening test can't tell you for sure whether your child has a chromosomal disorder, but it can be combined with other data as below to provide a statistic about the likelihood of such a disorder;

-> Older pregnant woman (>40 years old)

-> Family history of Chromosomal abnormalities

-> Blood tests - beta-hCG and pregnancy associated plasma protein A (PAPPA-A)

The results of these two blood tests plus the NT screening, known as the first trimester combined screening, can be combined into one number that represents the likelihood of having a child with a genetic abnormality. This information can be helpful to parents who are trying to decide whether to have more invasive genetic tests, such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (CVS).

How Nuchal Translucency screening is done?

This procedure is done during an ultrasound. The sonographer will first move the transducer across your belly to measure your baby from crown to rump to ensure that the fetal age is accurate. The fetal crown-rump length should be between 45 and 84mm. Then he or she will locate and measure the nuchal translucency (if you're lucky your baby will cooperate by moving into a position where the measurement will be optimum).

When Nuchal Translucency screening is done?

NT screening must be done between weeks 11 and 14. That is why an accurate date of conception is important for an accurate result. Before 11 weeks, the scan is difficult to be done because your baby is still so tiny. It would also be too early to combine it with your first trimester blood test. After 14 weeks, any excess fluid may be absorbed by your baby's developing lymphatic system. 

What is the normal measurement?

An NT of less than 3 mm is considered normal when your baby measures between 45mm and 84mm. The NT normally grows in proportion with your baby.

What abnormal result mean?

An increased NT (>3 mm) means there is a greater risk of chromosomal abnormalities or cardiac defect. However, it does not tell for certain that the baby has chromosomal abnormalities.

What should I do if I’m high risk?

The only way for certain if your baby has Down’s syndrome or other chromosomal abnormality is to have a diagnostic test such as CVS or amniocentesis.
