What a pregnant woman’s belly looks like when she has a boy: between truth and myth

 


What does a pregnant woman's belly look like with a boy? Many mothers are eager to know the sex of the fetus early before the ultrasound date, and they may resort to some traditional methods that have not yet been proven correct, such as the Chinese table, the Mian method, the use of a ring, and other methods. 

They may also resort to determining the sex of the fetus by the shape of the abdomen, and as We mentioned all of these beliefs are nothing but myths that are not based on any valid scientific evidence.
