I am 100% sure that posting a money shot of your unborn baby is going to go over like a sack of hammers.

ETA: all your personal info is on those pics.

celainev

Ugh. I can tell you've never contributed much to these boards.

1. There is personal information on those photos.

2. How would we know if that's right? Most of us are not ultrasound technicians or doctors.

3. It's not really polite to post photos of your baby's genitalia on a public forum.

Looks like a girl to me I'm about 50% sure.

Girl....congratulations!!

It's a boy. I can tell.

I would say girl...

I say this with concern for your safety: your identifying information is visible. I've blurred it for you below. Please consider saving this version & replacing the photo in your OP. Creepers & sickos be lurking!

tripledaggerWed95976

Just out of curiosity, how did she land on being "85% sure"? I'm 91.256% sure the ultrasound tech is better equipped to make that guess that us internet strangers. Congrats on having a healthy baby :-)

DrillSergeantCat

Would you post pictures of your child's genitals online after birth? Probably not. So why do it before birth? It's still your child!

satuttle1014

That looks like a girl to me but why would your technician only say 85%? Did they tell you come back another day to see if they can get a better look to be 100% sure?

As PP have said these posts never go over well. Probably lurk more to get a better feel for the community. I have no idea because I am not an ultrasound tech or doctor. 

paytonpedro

Alright is this a joke? It's literally everyday! Come on people!

We do not want to see crotch shots of your child, ever, under any circumstance.

None of us, or nearly none of us, are trained to identify this. So, stop asking us!

There are probably 5 other threads on the first page alone asking this same exact question.

Really right now!? This is just getting old.

Wow. I can't believe how rude this thread has become. She asked a question. You are not obligated to answer. Yes, I'm also tired of these threads but for goodness sake, people don't have to be so completely rude about a question. The whole point of this app is for SUPPORT. Not to make you feel bad for posting.

tripledaggerWed95976

if no one said anything there would be 1000 of these a day. How is it wrong to point out the fact that we can't decode her ultrasound any better than an ultrasound tech can? Also no, we're not obligated to answer, but this is an online forum in which the poster was asking a question so it's all of our right to answer. Plus, who said this forum is specifically for support? It's first and foremost an online community where people come for information, not to be lied to (hopefully). People DO get support here, so u might want to lurk a bit more before u come in and make that judgement. Lastly, um Wouldn't it be more rude to just lie to the OP and say "omg, it's totes a girl"??

I feel the need to post this for a second time in this thread.

Who is being rude? If anything OP is rude for posting a photo of genitals on a public forum. If I posted a crotch shot and asked someone's opinion on something, and people responded with "take down that photo it's not dignified," would I be the rude one or they? Obviously me. Genitalia does not belong in public forums, no matter if the baby is in utero or not.

She should feel bad about posting this. But she could come back and remove the photo and contribute to the boards. I wouldn't hold it against her then.

I've said stupid stuff on this board before, but I learn to apologize, come back and contribute.

And how, exactly, have YOU contributed any support or advice to the OP? If you're going to lecture people on how they respond, might want to take your own advice.

This is ironic considering  you didn't even take a guess or provide anything helpful...

I think telling her that she should watch out for internet creepers and mind her internet safety is very helpful. I can't help with the sex (not gender) guess. I can, however, offer my sincere wish that she look out for the safety of her family by editing her photo. I simply do not see how that is rude?

lilly668

I don't think Knottie meant it was rude that people were looking out for safety reasons.' It was more to do with not wanting to see the baby's genatalia. Who made the moral authority on whether or not it was okay to show baby's sex in an ultrasound picture? Obviously Jennya1214 doesn't think it's wrong or else she wouldn't have posted it. Let's keep personal prefences to ourselves she only asked for the gender.

And no one on here can answer that for her.

Also, this is a public forum.  Whether or not anyone likes it, if someone doesn't like what someone posts, they are allowed to say that.  They COULD choose to ignore it, but then other posters may get the idea that posts like this are welcomed on this board when they CLEARLY aren't.

jonesl12

I'm 85% sure that Internet safety is important and crotch shots are weird.
I'm also 85% sure that @PrimRoseMama gives solid advice and more OPs should listen to what she has to say .

Sadly, this is not how a public message board works, dear. The whole point of interacting with the community at large is to express our preferences, opinions and feelings. How we choose to do that is variable, but as long as it doesn't violate TOU, its permissible. Just because OP asked for one thing does not mean that is all she will get. Internet 101, yo.

If enough people express dislike of a thing then its less about moral authority (because who has that really?) and more about the general tone of the message board. Sex (not gender-- gender is between the ears and sex between the legs) guessing is just not fun in a general sense here on TB. These posts will persists because folks think that we know better than their trained techs or OB. Or they think its fun for public posters to look at grainy ultrasounds. I've seen it for years. It doesn't mean that its not met with this reception every. single. time.

Its not rude to point out that any google search could save you a lot of frustration with this. Some websites LOVE this type of thing. TB isn't, generally, one of them. That could change, but I don't see it happening anytime soon. It is what it is. What are you gonna do, but I have to disagree with you that its rude to advocate some sensibility when posting these things.

lilly668

I don't think I was disagreeing with anything PrimeRoseMama said Jonesl12. I understand the frustration of replying to ultrasound pictures and the issue with safety concerns. I was only talking about the crotch shot some people seem to have a problem with. If you think crotch shots are weird that's up to you. To each their own, I mean we are allowed to voice our opinions on a public forum right? Even if the majority of the people don't agree or "welcome it". I just said some may not agree that those kinds of shots are weird that's all.

Ok, sure....but I think that goes without saying.  If the majority of users on here don't appreciate those posts, why post them?  Maybe find a different board with similar views?

I don't know.  I feel like conversations like this don't go anywhere.  Anyone ever see PeeWee's Big Adventure, because I feel like this part is relevant?:

Would you post crotch shots of your born child? Not naked baby. Not baby bottom. Just a picture of their crotch.

Bigboobsmcgee

OP I like your nails.

lilly668

DrillSergeantCat generally I don't think anything is wrong with posting an Ultrasound pic which is black and white and fuzzy and most people can't even tell the difference between a finger, umbilical cord or anything! Which is why I understand the frustration of answering these posts.

And nlwz123, I know I get these convos really don't go anywhere.

I just think of all the sickos out there who don't need more than a grainy image of tiny parts to get excited. The unfortunate truth is that we don't know who we're talking to on here. I could very well be a 50 year old man who just likes to jerk around pregnant women. BigBoobsMcGee could really be Big Ang! We don't know and that's why it's important to protect stuff like crotch shots. 

Oh and my son's US, you can definitely tell it's a penis.

Very true.....

Just weighing in on this debate- there are sickos that could be doing god knows what with your profile picture too- @DrillSergeantCat ! I personally this internet saftey is important also so I've not shared an ultrasound picture myself , and I hate guess the sex threads, but- i personally don't care much about a crutch ultrasound shot- it doesn't look like anything much to me, It doesn't seem the same in my mind as posting a picture of a born baby's genitalia. Obviously not everyone agrees- that's cool, just throwing it out there that not everyone sees it as morally wrong.

I'm well aware that I'm someone's reason to masturbate, but I'm a grown woman. I feel a duty to protect my unborn child who has no other source of protection than me.

This.

And no need to even go so far as to refer to pedophiles etc.

It is just basic decency to think of your baby as someone whose privacy and dignity is something worth protecting.

The crotch shots come off as shallow. Bait used to satisfy the mother's idle look-at-me-and-pay-me-attention.

blessedwtwins

^^^ this.
Myself, my husband and the u/s tech are the only people who have seen our children's u/s crotch shots. Why would I go around showing close family and friends my children's bits now or later in their life? And why on earth would I show strangers?
It's weird. It's even more weird to show it off not even knowing what it is.

tripledaggerWed95976

Do u guys remember the girl who posted a pic of her unborn son's ultrasound and wanted to talk about how big his penis was when compared to other fetuses? That chick was the best. Dick/vagina ultrasound pics are never cool...we don't know you so we definitely don't wanna see your unborn child's genitals.

There was a similar one in Jan16 I think that wanted to compare her son's penis to other's via ultrasound.

That is one of the sickest things I've ever heard of. And you know darn well she'll try to compare it to other's boys after he's born too.
What is wrong with people?
