Cartilage damage is a relatively common type of injury. It often involves the knees, although joints such as the hips, ankles and elbows can also be affected. Cartilage is a tough, flexible tissue found throughout the body. It covers the surface of joints, acting as a shock absorber and allowing bones to slide over one another. It can become damaged as a result of a sudden injury, such as a sports injury, or gradual wear and tear (osteoarthritis).
While it is still too early to clearly make out boy or girl parts at 12 weeks gestation, apparently the gender can be determined based on the angle of the nub (the genital tubercle). To determine gender based on a 12-14 week ultrasound, a profile view of the genital region is needed.
most pregnant women find out their baby s sex if they choose to know during their mid pregnancy ultrasound usually between 16 and 20 weeks however the technician may not be able to tell for sure if she can t get a clear view of the baby s genitalshile a baby s penis or vulva begins forming as early as 6 weeks boy and girl babies look very similar on ultrasound until about 14 weeks and it can still be hard to tell them apart for several weeks after that
