could you tell boy/girl before sonographer announced?

famba · March 2013

Were you able to tell BOY/GIRL before the sonographer let you know? I wasn't sure if you had to be really experienced with ultrasounds to know or not. We find out tomorrow but am planning on asking them to write on a piece of paper and doing a gender reveal later that night. I don't know why, but I really don't want to find out that way. Our plan is that my husband and I am finding out together, just me and him, on a date later that night! I don't like the idea of someone we don't know in the room sharing that news with us...it feels intimate in a way. Maybe I am an odd one!

Dh is very observant and was able to tell before the tech did. I on the other hand just saw a baby. Good luck!

lkobriant · March 2013

We decided to not find out and although the tech dust turn the screen away DH and I weren't able to tell. Even when she said she knew. I really think that unless you know what to look for its hard to tell

Laurakat81 · March 2013

Only when she focused in on it. But not during the rest of the scan. So it shouldn't be too hard for the tech to keep you in the dark about it. But then again we're having a girl....I suppose it would be much easier to see a boy but I imagine if you just

I could tell, but I think it's easier with boys. His penis was really obvious.

laceyesmith · March 2013

My husband did. Our LO was kinda funny though, he was laying on his side and the tech was talking about how she was going to have to push on him to try to get him to move so she could get a crotch shot. So I started to brace myself for her to push on m

DH pointed it out! But, it was a boy and very obvious, at 16w. We go today to confirm (but have bought tons of blue)

SO and I could both tell before the ultrasound tech told us, but we've both got experience with reading ultrasounds (no, neither of us are actually in the medical profession, just lots of ultrasounds between both of us, plus family) and it was pretty obvi

amarissa85 · March 2013

When they found the placenta previa the tech told me to look away when she was looking down there and such and told me when it was safe but as she was going back and forth I caught a glimpse of his boy parts. It was obvious and I never told DH just in cas

kajordan09 · March 2013

DH could. He knew instantly. The U/S tech was so sad she didn't get to be the one to tell us..haha (she was kidding of course!). DH and I are both in the medical field, but not trained in radiology, so I don't know if that helped or not. I agree with P

mamainseptember · March 2013

We did a gender reveal at home as well. When they did the u/s, I was 100 percent sure it was a boy. When we got home, we found out it was a girl. I would have bet money I saw a penis!

magdalina.h · March 2013

I didn't with Aidan, but I did with Lucas. I didn't know what I was looking at in the u/s with Aidan.

MrsDiff22 · March 2013

We could tell with DS but he was spread eagle and at the perfect angle, with our DD the tech told us and then showed us the lines.

V&G101808 · March 2013

Our u/s tech announced it after a very quick glance - from that quick view I had no idea. It wasn't until she got a better shot and pointed out his boy parts that I could see it clearly. It's a good thing I'm not in that field!

jennme · March 2013

My Husband could tell right away..He's like "do I see something?" (we are having a boy lol) the tech said "no mistaking it, it's a boy"

JGM281207 · March 2013

I had no idea either time! lol

AlexKate45 · March 2013

They aren't allowed to tell us here. However, my DH asked if she was able to get a gender image for the radiologist and she said something like, "I got a very good image and the radiologist should have no problem including the gender in the repor

catskitch · March 2013

DH and I looked at sonogram pics online beforehand. Ours ended up looking totally different, but it was obvious.

we told the tech that we didn't want to know, but when I looked at the pic, it was pretty clear. she then proceeded to write xx/xy on

tokenhoser · March 2013

Last time it was OBVIOUS. Like, sitting on the camera no mistakes about it.

This time, baby didn't cooperate so we didn't get a chance to find out. The sonographer kind of sucked and didn't try, though.

ChestyLaRoo · March 2013

I just had mine today and I couldn't tell what I was looking at at all, but I guess a lot of other people are much more observant than I, lol. My little boy was being sort of modest too, so the sonographer had to get a look between his crossed legs.

This.

bhostmeyer · March 2013

It was pretty obvious for us it was a boy at the 16 week scan. When the tech started looking in that area, I said "Is that what I think it is??" She just smiled and said yep, it's a boy!

mommabmb · March 2013

Me too! I could tell right away but he has a lot of junk to see :

Mrs.KMid · March 2013

I searched for sonogram pictures of girls and boys before my appt so when I saw the three lines, I said "we are having a girl" and the sonographer confirmed. This time we are team green so I am going to have my eyes closed.

marinlove0528 · March 2013

My hubby says he knew before she said anything that it was a boy. He said he KNEW he saw something between his legs! lol

When she first put the probe on my stomach, no although DH did mistake the umbilical cord for boy parts! As the sonogram went on DH, my parents and I all noticed that there didn't seem like there was anything between the legs. Then as we were about t
