Are you guys still up for a turtle vs. hamburger debate?

Then go ahead and take a guess. These were taken at 16 weeks, but not by an experienced tech.

If you think is it a dinosaur (any kind will do), DS will be so excited!

Sorry they uploaded sideways, mobile bumping over here.

I see nothing, can't even identify what end I'm looking at

I don't see anything to guess with. I can tell they're both between the leg shots but I just see nothing.

Maybe you're having a kitty?

The first picture is the only one I can kinda see anything....boy...ish? Not a great shot   I'll vote boy for fun though!

Hamburger vs taco? really? Are we 5 years old? Was it too hard to type boy or girl? Yeesh.

I really hate hamburger or turtle thing, it was meant to be funny. Apparently I suck at the funny.

I see the three lines on the left side and if that is right between the legs it looks like a girl.

Based on the amount of fast food I have been craving, it's safe to say I will birth both a hamburger AND a taco.

They are between the legs shots, you can see the femurs better in the second pic.

I'd say it's a girl, but those are pretty crummy pictures to be sure.

Its not meant to be funny, it legit what sonographers use to determine sex. The vagina is swollen so it can be mistaken for a penis, and the penis isn't overly distinct so its easy to mistake as a swollen vagina.

So, they're taught 'turtle' vs 'hamburger'... because that's what they look like at that point.

Edit: I'm usually pretty good at these, but its too blurry for me. I'd guess girl, but I really don't know.

Yes, I know this, I work in an OB/GYN office. I still hate when they call it hamburger or turtle. Idk why, it's like the word moist, I get the heebies ftom it.

Ha! I first learned it from a sonographer, but she didn't say it was part of her formal training.

I also first heard "hamburger" or "turtle" from a sonographer. I feel like it must be pretty common.

Girl

We thought we had a girl too. At 16 weeks, we thought for sure. 20 week anatomy scan today, a boy. Here's the comparison:
First one is 16, second one is 20.

Turtle!

The pics aren't the clearest of shots, but I would say a girl. And I've heard docs and technicians call it "hamburger and turtle" quite a few times before.

That sentence just rubbed me the wrong way, because no one at my work ever uses "turtle" or "hamburger" as our terms.  Neither did my school.  Moving on though

My guess is a girl but not clear enough to really know for sure.

I suck at these. A baby.
