Can the shape of the pregnant woman's belly indicate the sex of the baby?

By Sarai Arrones BSc, MSc (embryologist on Next Fertility Sevilla).
Last Update: 04/04/2023

It is often said that if the belly is round, it will be a girl and if it is rounder, it will be a boy, but this is just a myth. There is no relationship between the shape of the abdomen and the sex of the fetus.

The appearance will depend on whether the woman is primiparous or multiparous, the constitution of her body, the shape of her uterus and the size of the fetus.
