Does posterior placenta mean boy?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

No, the position of placenta doesn't determine gender of a baby.

  1. Correlation Between Placental Position and Baby's Gender:

    • There is no scientifically proven correlation between having a posterior placenta and the baby's gender being male.
    • The baby's gender is determined by chromosomes at conception.
  2. Placental Position:

    • Placental location (anterior, posterior, fundal, etc.) varies naturally among pregnancies.
    • It is influenced by factors related to implantation and uterine anatomy.
  3. Ultrasound and Gender Prediction:

    • Ultrasound can identify placental position but cannot predict gender based on it.

Recommendation:

  • If you have concerns about your pregnancy or placental position, consult your healthcare provider for personalized information and reassurance.

My wife recently had her first period after an abortion that happened due to no heartbeat detected at two months into the pregnancy. It's been quite heavy, and we're on the fourth day now. While it seems to have lightened up a tiny bit today, it's still more than what we expected. Should we be concerned about the amount of bleeding she's experiencing right now?

As she is getting her periods after 2months, it can be little heavy. But if she is having pain or if she is passing clots or fleshy mass she has to visit her doctor. If not it will stop in 2-4 days. If the bleeding doesn't stop in 2-4 days, then also she needs to visit her doctor.

I'm planning my wedding and my gynecologist recommended starting on Femovan for six months, beginning on the 5th day of my cycle. My wedding will happen before I've finished all 21 tablets. Is it still going to be effective? Also, is starting on the 5th day the right approach? I really want to be sure it's all good and if it'll work without any other protection.

Starting Femovan on the 5th day of your cycle is a common practice to ensure its effectiveness. As long as you take the pills consistently every day, even if your marriage occurs before completing the full 21 tablets, Femovan should still be effective in preventing pregnancy. It is important to follow your gynecologist's instructions for the best results. Femovan is a combined oral contraceptive pill containing ethinylestradiol and gestodene.
