Moms, pregnancy is a moment full of surprises and wonders, including guessing the sex of the baby. While nothing is certain until the ultrasound results come out, there are some signs that are often associated with being pregnant with a girl.
While it's not an exact science, many believe that certain traits can indicate that you might be carrying a little princess. Let's discuss together what these signs are!
Traits of Being Pregnant with a Girl
1. Severe Morning Nausea
Moms, morning sickness is one of the common signs of pregnancy. However, if you are experiencing nausea that is more severe than usual, this could be a sign of being pregnant with a girl. Some studies show that higher levels of the hCG hormone in pregnant girls can cause more intense nausea, especially in the first trimester.
2. Mood Swings
If you feel that your mood changes easily, from happy to sad or angry in an instant, this may be a sign that you are pregnant with a girl. More significant hormonal changes in girl pregnancy are often associated with more intense mood swings. So, if you're feeling more emotional than usual, it's possible that a baby girl is growing in your womb.
3. Higher Heart Rate
Myth or fact, you may have heard that a baby's heartbeat higher than 140 beats per minute is a sign that you are pregnant with a girl. Although there is no solid scientific evidence, many Moms believe that this is an accurate sign. So, if you're curious, try checking your little one's heart rate during a routine checkup.
4. Higher Stress Levels
Stress is often an integral part of pregnancy. However, some studies suggest that Moms who are carrying a girl may experience higher levels of stress. This could be due to more drastic hormonal changes compared to a boy's pregnancy.
5. Oilier Skin
Many Moms say that when they are pregnant with a girl, their skin tends to become more oily and prone to acne. This is believed to be an effect of the higher surge of estrogen hormones in girls' pregnancies. So, if you feel your skin turning more oily, it might be a sign that your little one is a princess!
Frequently Believed Myths of Being Pregnant with a Girl
In addition to the characteristics we have discussed, there are many myths about being pregnant with a girl that are often believed. For example, a wider belly, craving for sweets, or even preferring to sleep on the left side. Although interesting, it is important to remember that all of these are just myths and there is no scientific evidence to support them. So, Moms don't get too hung up on myths, because the most accurate result is still the ultrasound result.
How to Find Out Baby's Sex?
The most accurate way to find out the baby's gender is of course by ultrasound. Usually, the sex of the baby can be known when the gestational age reaches 18-20 weeks. In addition to ultrasound, there are also non-invasive tests such as NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing) that can provide information about the baby's sex earlier. However, if you want to keep the element of surprise, there's nothing wrong with waiting until your little one is born to find out.
Moms, every pregnancy is unique and no two are exactly alike. While these signs are often associated with a girl's pregnancy, they are not entirely reliable. The most important thing is to take care of your health during pregnancy.
