A baby's movements during pregnancy cannot predict the sex of the baby. While some people believe that increased movement on one side indicates a boy, this is not supported by scientific evidence. The position of the placenta or the baby's activity level does not correlate with gender.
Several sources debunk this myth:
-
BabyCentre.co.uk: Explicitly states that fetal movements are not predictive of the baby's sex. It refutes common misconceptions, such as the belief that less activity indicates a girl, or right-sided movement indicates a boy. https://www.babycentre.co.uk/x25015785/can-my-babys-movements-predict-if-im-having-a-boy-or-a-girl
-
Other Resources: Numerous articles and medical opinions confirm that fetal movement patterns are unrelated to gender determination. These sources focus on reliable methods of sex determination, such as ultrasound.
Note: While fetal movement patterns are not indicators of sex, abnormal or concerning movement patterns warrant consultation with a healthcare professional. This could indicate underlying health issues requiring immediate attention.
