UK SMOG Wannabes ~ December

not to butt in,

but charlie I think you should totally ask for the nub shot! It woudl be so fun for you to get one and then post it on here so all the ladies can look and guess

And I think it was deaks who said it (if I'm wrong, I'm sorry!) about finding out what side the placenta is attached on...I totally plan on asking when I get pregnant again! It is fun to see!

[charlieispy]

am scared they might look at me like i am mad!! I know this baby was on the left when i had my early scan but i dont know which side the placenta was.

Is the placenta theory only valid up to a certain number of weeks? I saw bubs nub on the screen and thought it looked like a boy.

The boys got a football table for Christmas from fil. I now have in my living room the following furniture

Two three seater sofas
Massive footstall
Tv unit
Unit with tropical fish tank
Kids ikea chair
Corner unit with phone on
Bookshelf
Dinning table
Xmas tree (normally a wine rack where that is)
Football table
A mountain of cars and lego

I NEED to move!!!!

I *think* the side the placenta is on is only valid very early on (like 6-10 weeks or something like that). I had a scan at 9 weeks and the corpus luteum was on the left ovary which means I ovulated on the left side and there are studies which say more girls are conceived with left handed ovulation - I think the side the placenta is is related to the side you ovulated from too? I'm not entirely sure about any of it!

Gosh you ladies have been busy this afternoon

Charliespy ~ I’m still full of cold, but had a midwife appointment this afternoon and my bp is still under control and i had no protein in my urine today so that’s good news Good luck tomorrow at your scan!! Can’t wait to see the scan pictures! Would be fun with a nub picture if you got one! I’ve heard 13 week is the best time for nub guesses?

Pinga ~ It is hard to know what to answer to that question! I totally agree after having had more of one gender it’s quite obvious we wouldn’t complain if we got blessed with an opposite iykwim it’s just such a stupid question IMO!
aww you must be so proud of your ds2! The first steps are sooo special! Soon he’ll be running everywhere

Chocolate ~ when is your scan? The ramzi theory is most accurate between 6-8 weeks, the sooner the better!
why don't you do the urine ph test as well for fun You test your fmu with a ph test stick and if the ph is lower than 6 it's supposed to mean girl and if it's higher than 6 that indicates boy. From what i've heard it's supposed to be quite accurate.

Deaks ~ I have no idea why they would think that :S I disagree though, you still have a great chance of pregnancy with the second batch!

Inglewood ~ yay for having had the gender confirmed! twin girlies, amazing!!!!!! xx

Hi, here is the link to where I got my left/right side theory from: Can we please test this out? Early Gender Prediction - BabyandBump

"This is a multi-center prospective cohort study of 5376 pregnant women that underwent ultrasonography from 1997 to 2007. Trans-vaginal sonograms were performed in 22% of the patients at 6 weeks gestation, and Trans-abdominal sonograms were used at 18-20 weeks gestation, at this time the fetal gender were confirmed in 98-99%. The fetal sex was confirmed 100% after delivery. The study also addressed the bicornuate uteri with single pregnancy in relation to placenta / chorionic villi location. The result was tabulated according to gender and placenta / chorionic villi location. Bicornuate uteri with single fetus in different horns were studied and tabulated

Result
Dramatic differences were detected in chorionic villi / placental location according to gender. 97.2% of the male fetuses had a chorionic villi/placenta location on the right side of the uterus whereas, 2.4% had a chorionic villi/placenta location to the left of the uterus. On the other hand 97.5% of female fetuses had a chorionic villi/placenta location to the left of the uterus whereas, 2.7% had their chorionic villi/placenta location to the right side of the uterus. 127 cases were found to involve bicornuate uteri with single foetuses, most male fetuses were located in the right horn of the uterus and showed right placental laterality (70%). Most female fetuses 59% on the other hand, were located in the left horn and showed left laterality (59%).Moreover, most of the males located in the left horn exhibited right laterality (89%). Also most females located in right horn exhibited left laterality (976.4%). In addition this research indicated that there was a possible link between renal pyelectasis and placental location, and it might be used as a genetic soft marker.

Conclusion
Ramzi’s method is using placenta /chorionic villi location as a marker for fetal gender detection at 6 weeks gestation was found to be highly reliable. This method correctly predicts the fetus gender in 97.2% of males and 97.5% of females early in the first trimester. And it might be helpful to use as a genetic soft marker in relation with fetal pyelectasis.


In simple terms-

*placenta located on right- 97.2% chance it is a boy
*placenta located on left- 97.5% chance it is a girl
*in a bicornate uterus- 70% males implanted on right with right placental laterality; 59% implanted on left were female with left laterality
*those males that implanted on the left- exhibited right laterality 89% of the time.
*those females that implanted on the right exhibited left laterality of the time.

havnt heard that one deaks - off to google i know i o'd from my right ovary as the private scan showed the cyst that side x although it felt like left to me lol. Dont know which side placenta was to baby either! FX FX i get a nub shot and its girlie of course!

[charlieispy]

tamara on IG says this is debunked - phew lol

[zanacal]

I don't think it's debunked but it's not set in stone either - of course you could have ovulated from the right / have placenta on the right and still get a girl. Don't worry!
