You may want to edit your photo, it has all your personal info on it. (Sorry, no guess based on the photo. I'm no good at those. But I'd say it's probably one or the other . )
There is absolutely NO WAY to determine sex on a 10 weeks u/s Furthermore there are 2-5 of these posts a day. Even if this u/s was further along, we are not trained u/s techs. I understand this is an exciting time for you and your family, but complete stranger have little to no desire to look at a u/s and tell you what they think the sex. Again, this is the 3rd post today like this. Do it with your family, not a forum full of strangers.
As the pp stated I'd suggest getting rid of your personal info.
@ash413 there is no reason for you to be rude. This is my first ever post that I have done. Purely for entertainment. If you did not want to answer then you had no business even commenting. It was all in good fun. I realize NONE of you are trained techs I was just looking for someone to communicate with. So thank you for making me feel worthless. I hope that makes you feel great.
If you want someone to communicate with then participate in an existing thread. Nobody is being rude. Asking random people to guess the sex of your baby with 10 week ultrasound picture is impossible.

I don't think she was rude at all. You're asking an impossible question and there are literally 3-5 posts a day about this. It's like walking up to a group of strangers and shouting "HEY LOOK AT MY ULTRASOUND"

No one is being rude. If this is your first ever post I suggest you read around a little and get to know the community and how it works.
There are way too many of these every day. No need for your own post.
If you know none of us here can tell. Why bother asking?

So much this. I don't understand how people don't see this is like walking up to a group of moms chatting at the park or preschool and saying "Hey! Touch my belly and see if you think it's a boy or a girl!" Mommas be like...

I was not rude at all. If you want to communicate and be involved in the community by all means do so, however, making your first post a AW post is not the way to do. These forums have etiquette, you don't just post whatever entertains you. If you want to be involved I would suggest posting on some GTKY threats like FFFC, and UO. Read posts and get to know the feel of the community.
Ppl are really rude these days stand selfish. Have u not ever been taught that if u don't have anything nice to say, then don't say it. Sarcastic narcissists. But no we can't guess the gender especially without nub showing. For those who follow nub theory.
@lexismith91 I think it's pretty narcissistic of someone who has contributed zilch to the community and board to expect everyone to gush all over her U/S.

This. Notice how only one person has given a 1 word guess?. Know why?
I also didn't see it mentioned here by pp's, but even the best doctor and ultrasound tech can not tell you the gender of your child. Gender is a sociological and cultural construct and does not necessarily correlate to the biological sex of your child. What you are trying to get us to guess is the sex of your child.
I don't really see the need to chide someone over posting their ultrasound picture. If is not your kind of thread then just ignore it. I don't read every thread on this board and I don't comment on every thread that I do read. This is a place for people to express themselves and connect. We don't all have to do it the same way or all value the same types of threads the same. I would really like for this board to remain a welcoming place for all, provided they are harmless and respectful. The original poster seems that to me regardless of whether I saw value to myself in her ultrasound post.

Making your own post, when there are several of the same topic on the first page, clutters up the board. It also can push threads from people who are seeking advice for issues/scares and such back so that they aren't seen.

If your post gets pushed to bottom ppl obv don't care about it either. Just sayin... I don't care either way, I wouldn't have guessed but I also don't care to be snarky to a new member just asking a question she prob saw others ask. Treat others how you want to be treated.
Thank you @christina4436 and @veckia someone finally understands. I wasn't meaning to have "people gush over my ultrasound". I didn't see anybody with the similar question on the first page as others apparently have. I've never even posted before. The first time I did, and BAM everyone is jumping down my throat because i posted something that annoys them. I don't get why they couldn't just ignore the post if it was something they didn't want to comment on. I didn't realize grown women could be so rude and nit-picky but I guess I was wrong.
Yikes!! Looks like the hormones are flowing on this thread lol!
I obviously don't have a clue and I'm terrible at guessing these things anyway. There are so many different ways to guess a gender these days that I don't feel it's appropriate for anyone to jump down someone else's throat because they are excited to share their first U/S pic. If you're a repeat momma, just remember the first time you saw your peanut and how badly you wanted to share it.
As stated, this is a COMMUNITY, which are generally friendly. There are so many posts about everything that it's not fair to rip someone down over an U/S post. Go pick on someone who has a craving, or nausea, or sore boobs. People post about what's happening currently, and currently a lot of us are getting ultrasounds. Next week it'll be diabetes tests!
Sheesh... There's my rant! Check your hormone levels ladies!

For someone who is preaching friendliness, this is a very rude post. To blame anyone's actions or comments on hormones is a cop-out. We are all adults here and should take responsibility for our actions and not blame things we say or do on being pregnant.
That said. I'm totally in agreement with you that this is a community. A place where you are given a wait period before you can even post so you can read up on threads, understand the board culture, and see what is/is not appropriate to post. Doing otherwise is going against the already established community here. If that had been done, both you & OP would have seen other threads of this topic, and known that they are frowned upon in this community.
Guessing the sex of a child based on an ultrasound makes a lot of folks here uncomfortable. No one here is a trained specialist. If a doctor or tech can't tell you, then we can't either. Some people say it's all in fun, but when you've read the number of "sex disappointment" threads that I and others have, there's nothing fun about it. I'm not saying OP falls in this category, but there are people on here who go into depression if they have a preferred sex and are told their baby is the other. It's truly sad to read these women's reactions and I'm not going to feed into anyone's assumptions when it could possibly be feeding into an unhealthy obsession. Also, I prefer to be honest to people and if telling them the truth (it's impossible to tell the sex of a baby from a 10w profile ultrasound screen cap) is rude, well then, I don't understand how anyone here operates in the real world.
And with that, this is my last post on this thread. #letitdie

This a million times over.
And stop throwing around the word "rude."
This is a community and it has to have an order to be successful. Read around and you'll see how it works, otherwise you are the "rude" one.
This happens without fail every couple of days and it is so disappointing to see. Someone makes a post, someone comments that the post is redundant, yet another person admonishes the other to stop being "rude". Someone else brings out the big guns (GIFs abound!), someone's feelings are hurt, and bump admin gets involved. Someone gets banned. All for what? We end up making that post more popular than it needed to be simply because we are obsessively compelled to prefect other people. If no one comments on these kind of "what sex is my baby" posts, they eventually disappear. If you don't want to guess or you think the question is stupid or you're sick of seeing it in your feed: don't say anything. We all spend a lot of time on the bump, I'm sure it's not difficult for us to scroll down the list of topics to find something we are happy to offer constructive advice and support on. And yes I realise the irony: I'm giving this post more attention than it needs.
If your post gets pushed to bottom ppl obv don't care about it either. Just sayin... I don't care either way, I wouldn't have guessed but I also don't care to be snarky to a new member just asking a question she prob saw others ask. Treat others how you want to be treated.
If I knew how to delete this post I would. Such a mistake to try and be apart of this awful community.
My apologies, but what exactly is so awful about a stranger declining to examine your child's genitalia?
But it's totes just for funzies guise.
The worst part of all of this is what social media has done to our society. Randomly approaching strangers and asking them to pay attention to your ultrasound without any prior intro is now considered "Trying TO be apart (sic) of a community". Social skills and interacting with others have gone completely to s*it. Twitter and FB have made us into people who shout our business out to anyone and no one, then expect a response.
For those who will come back with "well you mean girls wouldn't do that to a persons face": yes. In normal functioning society if a random lady came up to my friends and I and first thing out of her mouth was "look at my sonogram!", we might all give a polite smile. Then walk away from the crazy lady. Because it's weird.
@Peony1982 I'm always glad to see you on the crazy train threads you have THE BEST responses.
I don't care if it makes me a mean Poopy-head- it's tiring to constantly see the same crapola with the guise that we something is fun and/or we are not a "supportive community". Yes we are- just not for drive by aw-ing.
There are so many solid regs in this board that give a variety of opinions and answer so many questions that are pertinent whether anyone's baby has innie or outie genetalia does not fall under that category.
