The amount of abdominal hair during pregnancy cannot reliably determine the baby's gender. Pregnant women are advised to visit a hospital for medical examinations to accurately identify the fetus's sex. Typically, ultrasound scans can be used to assess fetal conditions, including weight, size, and position. Ultrasound technology can determine the baby's gender starting from around week 20 of pregnancy. If a pregnant woman experiences any discomfort during pregnancy, she should seek medical attention promptly so that timely treatment can be provided to ensure the health of the fetus.
