I always sucked at them and I am hopeless with ultrasounds, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placenta-placement-as-gender-predictor#post-562796 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 21:03:37 +0000 marionberry 562796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It sounds like we're debunking this. We need a bee who is an ultrasound tech to give us the answers. I read your placenta is a big grey blob, lol. Isn't everything some version of black, grey or white on an ultrasound haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placenta-placement-as-gender-predictor#post-562685 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 19:48:34 +0000 yellowbird 562685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you tell from this?</p> <p>This was transvaginal at 12 weeks and I had a girl! </p> [attach=1925/13/mi4vky.320x480.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placenta-placement-as-gender-predictor#post-562677 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 19:41:49 +0000 ladyfingers 562677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was on the left and we had a boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placenta-placement-as-gender-predictor#post-562084 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 13:02:30 +0000 marionberry 562084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: I would presume so, but honestly, I'm no doctor. I'm going to ask our RE about this when I go in for my 10w ultrasound on the 20th. I would assume of all people, REs would be a good point of reference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placenta-placement-as-gender-predictor#post-561762 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 10:43:21 +0000 Pepper 561762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The tech told me mine is on the back left, and I'm having a boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placenta-placement-as-gender-predictor#post-561755 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 10:40:48 +0000 kjpugs 561755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh Jeez! I will have to pay attention! Is this your left (like same side as your left hand) or the technician's left (like left when looking at you.?) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placenta-placement-as-gender-predictor#post-561751 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 10:38:42 +0000 Foodnerd81 561751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I asked at my 12 weeks scan where the placenta was and she showed me, but said it moves around a lot-- or rather, as the uterus grows, the relative position changes. I just wanted to know if it was anterior and I'd have to wait longer to feel the baby kick, but she seemed like she couldn't really tell me anything. So, I have no idea where it was, and the only picture I have it just the head and shoulders. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placenta-placement-as-gender-predictor#post-561689 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 10:17:51 +0000 twinmama 561689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have twins, and the entire pregnancy my son was on my right side and my daughter was on my left. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placenta-placement-as-gender-predictor#post-561639 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 09:59:00 +0000 blackbird 561639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I *just* asked my nurse practitioner about it. She basically said it's bunk because the placenta moves around too much. They only had mine listed as anterior/posterior and whether it was previa. Nothing about left or right. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placenta-placement-as-gender-predictor#post-561627 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 09:55:30 +0000 lawbee11 561627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@marionberry: Can you tell where your placenta is attached without asking the tech? Here is my 8w u/s picture (it was transvaginal). The baby looks like it's attached on the right, but does that automatically mean the placenta is attached on the right? </p> [attach=1395/13/mi444j.600x438.BF.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placenta-placement-as-gender-predictor#post-561365 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 04:45:39 +0000 Honeybee 561365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember with DD but my placenta was on the right with DS. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placenta-placement-as-gender-predictor#post-561186 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 21:48:11 +0000 Mrs squirreld 561186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@marionberry: oooohh I'm keeping this in mind for my next scan! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/placenta-placement-as-gender-predictor#post-561182 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 21:46:39 +0000 marionberry 561182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read an article (and subsequent study) which says that if your placenta is on the left, it's a girl and if it's on the right, it's a boy (almost 98% accurate supposedly). They also say that you can tell this as early as 5 weeks. Was this right for you? I'm curious if this is really a feasible way of gender prediction.</p> <p>FYI: In a transvaginal ultrasound, left is left and right is right. However in a transabdominal ultrasound it would be the opposite, if you're wanting to take a look. Oh and the yolk sac is not the placenta (I had to google this myself, lol). </p>
