dc.description.abstract Introduction: One such study was conducted by Saad Ramzi Ismail in 2011. We intend to apply the same study among pregnant women in Moldova, to compare the results obtained by Dr. S. Ramzi with ours. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between placental /chorionic villi laterality and fetal genders early in pregnancy using 2-D ultrasonography and color flow Doppler. Material and Method: Cohort study was conducted on 41 pregnant women who have undergone a Trans-Vaginal sonograms at 6 weeks pregnant, and Trans-abdominal sonograms were used at 18-20 weeks gestation, at this time the fetal gender were confirmed in 98-99%. The fetal sex will be confirmed 100% after birth. The result was tabulated according to gender and placenta / chorionic villi location. Result: Dramatic differences were detected in chorionic villi / placental location according to gender. 83.3% of the male fetuses had a chorionic villi/placenta location on the right side of the uterus whereas, 16.7% had a chorionic villi/placenta location to the left of the uterus. On the other hand 91.3% of female fetuses had a chorionic villi/placenta location to the left of the uterus whereas, 8.7% had their chorionic villi/placenta location to the right side of the uterus. Same results received Dr. S. Ramzi, but with greater precision, 97.2% of the male fetuses had a chorionic villi/placenta location on the right side of the uterus whereas, and 97.5% of female fetuses had a chorionic villi/placenta location to the left of the uterus whereas. Conclusion: This method is using placenta /chorionic villi location as a marker for fetal gender detection at 6 weeks gestation was found to be highly reliable. This method correctly predicts the fetus gender in average 90% early in the first trimester. This study may help parents to decide and choose the type of medical management available in case of inherited genetic problem such as in X-linked genetic disorder. en_US
