Today our medical system is dependent on science. In today's era, there is no other way apart from ultrasound that can give accurate information about which gender the womb is. Some people start finding the signs of having a boy in their womb as soon as they become pregnant. Today, it is a shame to keep this kind of thinking or to discriminate between girls and boys despite the awareness in society. Just keep in mind that your child is growing in your womb, whether it is a boy or a girl, it is your own blood. I am here telling you about the myths related to the signs of being a child in the womb and their truth. The symptoms of being a boy mentioned in this are only myths, do not forget to accept them as true and consider boy - girl as equal.

Myth 1: Your baby's heartbeat is lower than 140 beats per minute (1)

This is not true, the baby's heartbeat in the womb may be less or sometimes more for various reasons. Therefore, do not consider your baby's heartbeat to be less than 140 beats per minute.

Myth 2: Increased weight of the pregnant women.

It is not true. It is normal for a pregnant woman to gain weight due to diet during pregnancy and the development of the baby in the womb. If your weight is increasing rapidly, then it may be a rather than a symptom of having a boy in the womb. So if you are gaining more weight, then consult a doctor about it.

Myth 3: Feel like eating sour and piquant(chatpatta)

It is normal for a pregnant woman to have food cravings in pregnancy (2), it has nothing to do with having a boy in the womb. This myth is not true, so eat healthy food during pregnancy, it will be better for your child.

Myth 4: Low Vomiting

It is not true. During pregnancy, morning sickness and vomiting are very common. But some women have more or less this problem, so it has nothing to do with being a boy in the womb.

Myth 5: Pregnant woman's right breast is bigger than your left

According to this myth, if the size of a pregnant woman's right breast is larger than her left breast, then it is a symptom of having a boy in her womb. This myth is not true and it is normal for the breasts to increase in size as the milk starts brewing in pregnancy. If you see a difference in the size of your breasts, then you may have a serious problem like breast cancer or breast problems in your breasts. Therefore, if this happens, consult a doctor.

Myth 6: Changes in Skin

Skin changes are normal (3). Hormonal changes during pregnancy can cause many changes on a woman's skin. There are two conditions of skin change - one when the pregnant woman's skin starts glowing during pregnancy and the other when the pregnant woman starts having skin related problems. In such a situation, people believe that if the rash, pimples and stains are seen on the face of a pregnant woman, then these are signs of getting pregnant in the womb.

Myth 7: Pregnant woman's is more prone to headaches

It is not true. Headache of a pregnant woman can occur due to many reasons like pregnancy me tanav, fatigue, lack of water during pregnancy. Pregnant headache problem is not related to having a boy in the womb. It is better to believe such myths that you do some exercise during pregnancy, so that you can have an easy delivery.

Myth 8: Morning Sickness

During pregnancy, it is normal for women to have nausea, that is, morning sickness. However, one of the symptoms of pregnancy is morning sickness, which can be different in every pregnant woman. This condition is also associated with the sign of being a boy in the womb. It is believed that women who have low morning sickness are more likely to have a boy in their womb.

Recent studies have debunked this myth, stating that 80 percent of women experience some amount of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, regardless of baby's sex. (4)

Myth 9: Pregnant woman's belly grow down

The stomach of a pregnant woman grows according to the position and development of the baby in the womb, therefore, increasing the belly of the pregnant from the bottom is not a symptom of having a boy in the womb. Do not believe such myths.

Myth 10: Pregnant woman have acne on the face

According to this myth, if a pregnant woman has acne on the face, then it is a symptom of having a boy in her womb. it is not true. Actually, due to fluctuations in the level of hormones during pregnancy, the pregnant woman has skin problems in pregnancy, but it has nothing to do with being a boy in the womb. So do not believe such things.

During pregnancy, it is mostly wrong to guess the sex of the child by looking at the signs of pregnancy. Science has mostly associated the symptoms of pregnancy with the sex of the child. Some appear with a symptom proof, but science has not commented on it concretely yet. However, if you are pregnant, instead of thinking that the child is a boy or a girl, just try to think that the child is physically and mentally healthy. Therefore neither believe in these myths yourself nor let anyone else fall into such superstition. If any of your friends, family etc. believe in such things, then tell them the truth and make them aware.

Note: The Pre-conception and Prenatal Diagnostic Techniques (PCPNDT) Act, 1994 is a federal law passed by the Parliament of India to prevent female feticide in India, and prevent falling sex ratios. Under this act, the determination of pre-natal sex (PNDT) has been banned.
