One look at your belly and suddenly everyone knows your baby’s gender

‘Low belly – boy.’

‘High belly – girl.’

But is that actually how pregnancy works?

Early in pregnancy, the uterus sits higher in the abdomen. As pregnancy progresses and delivery approaches, the baby’s head often moves down into the pelvis.

If belly position truly predicted gender, it would mean everyone starts by carrying girls and ends up carrying boys before birth – which obviously doesn’t make sense.

The truth is that how a pregnancy ‘carries’ depends on many factors, including:

The mother’s body structure

Muscle tone

The baby’s position

The stage of pregnancy

It has nothing to do with the baby’s sex.

So, the verdict is Fiction!

What predictions did people make about your pregnancy?

Did they get it right?
