Saturated fat guidelines. Most people in the UK eat too much saturated fats. The population on average gets 12.6% of their energy (kJ/kcal) from saturated fats, which is slightly above the 11% maximum recommended by the government. The average man should aim to have no more than 30g of saturated fat a day.
The ultrasound at 20 weeks may be inaccurate if the technician is not able to get a good picture of the baby. Also, the baby's legs may get in the way of determining the sex, however, it is usually possible to get him or her to move. The earliest an ultrasound can possibly determine the gender of a fetus is 12 weeks. Most doctors won't attempt to determine the gender until 16-20 weeks. Unlike amniocentesis, ultrasound genderizing isn't an exact science. Depending on the way the baby lays, it can be difficult to see the genitals.
Most pregnant receive this ultrasound as standard practice. A Level 3 ultrasound, done by perinatologists, can usually call the gender at 12 to 14 weeks, but this is a much more detailed exam done only when there is suspicion of problemsânot just for a gender check.
