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.
Obstetric ultrasound is primarily used to: 1  Date the pregnancy (gestational age) 2  Confirm fetal viability. 3  Determine location of fetus, intrauterine vs ectopic. 4  Check the location of the placenta in relation to the cervix. 5  Check for the number of fetuses (multiple pregnancy) 6  Check for major physical abnormalities.
