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 35 weeks pregnant and having twins, and I'm 30 years old. I've been dealing with really bad itching and redness on my belly for the past 10 days, and it's especially rough at night because I can't sleep at all. My LFT came back with high levelsAlkaline phosphatase is at 346 IUL, G.P.T. is 105.2 IUL, and another one is 101.4 IUL. I'm taking Udiliv 150 three times a day, but it's not helping. I'm worried about what's causing this and if there's any risk to my babies. What should I do?
Your symptoms and elevated liver enzymes suggest intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP), a condition that can increase the risk of preterm birth, fetal distress, and stillbirth; consult your obstetrician to discuss the best course of action, which may include switching to ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) or adding antihistamines or topical creams to alleviate itching, and closely monitoring fetal well-being and liver function to ensure the health and safety of both you and your twins.

I'm a bit worried because my wife's pregnancy test came back positive, but we weren't planning on having another baby right now since our little one is just two years old. Her period was supposed to start on the 23rd of this month. Could you give us some advice on what we should do next? We're really looking for a solution.
While the risk is extremely low, it's not impossible. Precum can contain sperm, and if it comes into contact with the vagina, pregnancy can theoretically occur. However, the chances are very slim, especially without ejaculation or penetration. According to the American Pregnancy Association, the risk of pregnancy from precum is estimated to be around 1-4%.

I'm living in the Czech Republic and recently had a laparoscopic myomectomy. It was on February 23rd, and I just got home from the hospital after 5 days. The surgery was a bit tricky because the fibroid was quite large, about 7cm, and I ended up losing 1000ml of blood. The surgeon mentioned I should wait about a year before trying to conceive so that the scar has enough time to heal. I'm curious about what I should expect post-surgery, specifically concerning my menstrual cycle. Also, my belly seems a little swollen, almost like I've gained weight, and I'm puzzled about what's causing it. Is it okay for me to start doing yoga? And should I continue taking Folic acid tablets? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
