Does posterior placenta mean boy?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
No, the position of placenta doesn't determine gender of a baby.

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.
-
Placental Position:
- Placental location (anterior, posterior, fundal, etc.) varies naturally among pregnancies.
- It is influenced by factors related to implantation and uterine anatomy.
-
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.

View allI'm 38 weeks pregnant and I've noticed a watery discharge with some white in it since this morning. Could this mean my water is breaking? I'm really worried and would love some advice on what steps to take next.
It sounds like you may be experiencing a watery discharge, which could be a sign of your water breaking, but it can also be normal pregnancy discharge. Its important to check if the fluid is clear, odorless, and continues to flow, which may indicate your water has broken. I recommend calling your doctor or going to the hospital to get checked for peace of mind.

My right ovary is bulky measuring 4.5x2.8x1.7 cm with a small functional cyst and the right tube is edematous with mild fluid around it but the left ovary is normal. Should I consider surgery or would medication be better for this?
It's best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice, but generally, surgery for ovarian cysts and related issues is not always the first choice, especially when the cyst is small and functional. Medication or a wait-and-see approach might be recommended first

I'm really worried and I hope you can help me. I just found out I'm pregnant, about 6 weeks along, but I started having brown spotting, which really freaked me out. So I went to see my doctor, and they did a TVS. They found a single intrauterine gestational sac, but no yolk sac or heartbeat yet, and the sac looked irregular in the report. My doctor said the fetus seems weak right now and wants me to come back for another scan in two weeks. They've put me on a weekly Susten 200 injection. Not seeing the yolk sac or heartbeat at this stage, does it mean it could be a nonviable pregnancy? Is there a chance the yolk sac might appear by the time I go for the next scan? I'm trying to prepare myself mentally just in case things dont turn out well, but I really dont know what to expect. What are the chances things could improve in these two weeks?
