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.

I'm really worried because I had unprotected sex during my ovulation period and my boyfriend ejaculated a little inside me. I took an emergency contraceptive (Unwanted 72) within 6 hours after that. I'm concerned about the possibility of getting pregnant. Can you tell me what are the chances of pregnancy in this situation? Also, if I'm not pregnant, when should I expect my next period?

You can expect some changes in your menstrual cycle after taking Unwanted 72. Your period may come earlier or later than usual, and it may be heavier or lighter than normal. It is difficult to predict the exact timing of your next period, but it is common for women to experience a delay of a few days to a week. To help ease your concerns, you can take a pregnancy test if your period is delayed by more than a week.

I'm 31 weeks pregnant and just got some blood work back. My SGOT is at 35, SGPT is 65, and alkaline phosphatase (AP) is at 167. Plus, my platelet count is 110. Should I be concerned about these results?

Your elevated SGPT (65) and low platelet count (110) may indicate a potential liver issue, such as preeclampsia or HELLP syndrome, which can be concerning during pregnancy, so it's essential to discuss these results with your obstetrician and closely monitor your condition to ensure the health and safety of both you and your baby.
