Yes. Also heard you can tell by the side the placenta sits. My placenta was correct. But not sure.

I just was just pregnant 3 years ago, and I had never heard such a thing. My dd said her friend told her they should have told her whether or not she was pregnant with twins at her appt today. She is only

8 weeks, it just sounded off, and my dd looked it up online and could only find information about ultrasounds. Thank you momtofamilyof5. We will have to ask about that

altruismworks: my nurse and doctor hadn't heard a thing about it and I showed them the article I'd read. I said I would take it with a grain of salt but they still checked the placenta. Let me find

The link.

Know the Sex of Your Baby at the FIRST Ultrasound! There are other articles out there but they all reference the same study.

I know about the ultra sounds, it is just that the girl said her dr. office said that normal blood work could show the gender and number of fetuses. that is what I am questioning

altruismworks: that article was about the placenta. As far as blood work goes I have never heard it determining twins but maybe rumor about sex.

yeah the girl was pretty positive that was the case. She told my dd that her ob/gyn told her that the sex of the child can be determined through blood test and claimed they told her she only had 1 fetus due to

the blood test.

youngshepard, that is the same thing I said. I have had 5 children and as far as I knew the possibility of double heartbeats and ultrasounds were the only ways, but this girl was getting defensive about it.

I know things change, but I wouldn't think technology advanced that much in 3 years. lol
