I heard there was an old wives tales of where the baby is positioned determines the sex. Which one am I having?
@Ciao-Bella I stand corrected its not an Old Wives Tale please google 'Ramzi Method'. He is a doctor that discovered that he could tell the sex of the baby with great accuracy depending which side the placenta is on. Very interesting.
The Ramzi's Method is original research done by Dr. Saad Ramzi Ismail. In this multi-center prospective cohort study, more than 5,000 fetuses were scanned for placental location and gender. These scans were done over a ten year period in Canada. The same sonographer did all of the exams. In the first trimester, six weeks gestation, 22% of the mothers had transvaginal ultrasounds performed. 78% of the mothers chose to have a regular transabdominal ultrasound done. They measured both gestational age as well as where the placenta was located. The mothers returned between weeks 18-20 and were rescanned using the abdominal ultrasound. 99% of the fetal genders were confirmed at this point and 100% of the results were confirmed at birth. This study did not include twins, ectopic pregnancies, and other complications.
In using this data, Dr. Ramzi Ismail concluded that at six weeks gestation, 97.2% of the male fetuses had a placenta or chorionic villi on the right side of the uterus. When it came to female fetuses, there were 97.5% of the chorionic villi or placenta on the left side of the uterus.
