Hey,

Has anyone ever heard of the Ramzi theory? This is my third child and I had no clue.

If you have, what is your opinion on it?

:flower:
 
Amazingly there aren't many people on here that know much about Ramzi simply because it is kind of a confusing theory. Honestly after all the pregnancies I've been through I've been studying Ramzi like crazy and I apologize ahead of time for the book. According to Ramzi if the baby implants on the left side of your uterus, it is a girl. If it implants on the right side, it is a boy. You can ask your tech which side of your uterus the baby is on but every time I asked that they looked at me funny lol. You can usually tell by ultrasound scans taken within 6-8 weeks what side it implants on if your tech doesn't give you an answer.

What throws a lot of people off is that they assume where the baby is floating at in the sac is where it implants but this isn't always true. A 6 week old baby is usually close to its placenta because the cord isn't developed yet but at 7-8 weeks the baby can float wherever it wants in the sac. You're not looking at where the baby is at in the sac... ignore the baby for now (I know... hard to do because you're so darned excited lol) but focus instead on the area surrounding the sac.

Another thing that confuses people is that a lot of ladies think that if it is abdominal scan, it is mirrored, and transvaginal it stays the same. Not always true. A transvaginal is looking at the baby from the bottom up (which is why the sac is usually flat on one side) while an abdominal is looking at the baby straight on. Mirrored means that the right side of the image is the left side of your uterus, and the left side of the image is the right side of your uterus. If you lay your scan picture on your belly with the blank side facing down and the picture side facing up, that is essentially how an ultrasound looks.

Now you must find your placenta. That is important to tell where the baby implanted. Remember... ignore the baby itself for now. Usually you can see a grey shaded area around the outside of the sac. If you look close you can see where it cuts off from the rest of the tissue in your uterus. This is your placenta. If the placenta is seen around the right side of the sac on your scan pic, you're having a girl. If the placenta is around the left side of the sac in the image, you're having a boy. If your baby implanted in the middle of the uterus and the placenta wraps around the entire top of the sac, you need to find the thickest part of the placenta and determine if it is more to the right or to the left of the image. Addominal images are almost always mirrored. Transvaginal needs to be flipped to the right to be mirrored.

I have attached a couple examples from my own pregnancies. I have included the location of the placenta (circled) and the original picture so you can kind of see where the placenta is located. The blue was a boy and the red was a girl.

HTH!

It was wrong with both of mine :) I had such a strong gut feeling that my son was a girl and that my daughter was a boy. Both times I felt vindicated by the Ramzi theory confirming my gut feelings. I was amazed at both 20 week scans that I was wrong :haha: This time we are probably staying team yellow, so I'm not going to study where it's implanted or the presence of a nub.
 
Thank you Lilmiss! I'll have to look at my 6w scan photo to see if I can tell anything. It was a transvaginal ultrasound, so if I were to look at the photo would the right of the photo be the left of the uterus?

Or - are either of your photos transvaginal? I could just compare to you.
 
Actually, I just remembered I had a photo saved on my phone. The placenta is very clearly on the left side of the photo - but I'm confused as to which side of the uterus this is.
 
A placenta on the left side of a transvaginal ultrasound meals boy, according to the theory. It's been right for me 3 of 4 times so far. The Chinese gender chart has actually been correct for me every time so far. hahah... I don't know the sex of this baby yet, but they both predict girl for me.
 
lol - I just did a TON of googling and found a bunch of posts saying a placenta on the left side of a transvaginal us means girl! :wacko:

Ah well - guess I'll just have to wait and see. Fortunately the results of my MaterniT21 scan should come back sometime this week/early next week so I don't have too long to wait!
 
Oh wow!! A lot of information to try and understand, thank you so much for that detailed comment!! :)

I found out with an early gender scan in 3 weeks, but had a private early scan at 6 weeks, so was curious! :) I didn't ask what side it was though, so too late now lol xxxx
 
I did research on this as well and could never figure it out :wacko: . I posted my US in the gender prediction section they have this discussion for people to try and guess if one of you ladies want to take a gander at it lol :haha:
