Need help figuring out if boy or girl

melyann1000

I went yesterday to get a ultrasound and was told it was a lil girl but you can’t really tell if it a lil girl or a lil boy I like to know if anyone thinks it’s a boy or a girl my profile picture is the ultrasound picture I’m need help with

I can't really tell from the pic, but I would trust the US tech since they've been trained to read them

Um, so you don't trust a trained ultrasound tech who does this for a living, yet you trust untrained internet strangers?  If you don't trust what they said then just believe what you want to believe, I guess 🤷‍♂️

If you were told girl, it’s probably a girl. If you’re not also an u/s tech, I would let the lady do her job. 

Fwiw, your picture is .25in x.25in on my screen and looks like some smoke on a black background.

Lol. Love how supportive these comments are! Smh. Im sure they'll do a follow up US if you ask just to confirm gender if youre still questioning. You might have to pay out of pocket though.

@pharmtechbaby ok here is being supportive: awe its ok not to believe the ultrasound tech, here i don't know what I'm looking at but it sounds like you want a boy, so yeah I think its a boy! Congrats! Buy all blue now! 

Seriously?  I don't know what else to say.  Sorry being blundt and truthful hurts! Unfortunately that is the issue w/ today's society!

Don’t mind @harpseal135 , she’s been all over the Bump message boards from Day 1, shaming and being mean to Moms re: gender testing and questions. She’s also been asked multiple times to stop, and yet, persists. Harpseal: you aren’t being blunt, you’re being rude and unsupportive. Stop it. I will not stop calling you out every time you do it. Deal with your hang ups, and stop taking them out on the Moms on these threads. It’s unproductive and rude.

Thank you,  she is very rude.

@bustabucket sorry, but not rude.  What is not cool is ladies that come on here and whine because they don't think that health care professionals that they see are correct.  They always want to second guess and have internet strangers with no ultrasound training to tell them what they want to hear. 

As for "gender" testing sorry but all the "methods" are a 50/50 chance of being right.  The blood tests can be wrong also.  Sorry that the truth hurts.  Sorry you think its rude, but in reality I'm not going to sugar coat reality.

This is the internet, people are allowed to respond to a post any way that they want.

What you're saying might not be rude,  it's the way you say it.  Kinda like when you acted like i was stupid for worrying about my bump shifting. This is a forum to go to for advice. Not everyone is as educated as you and might have a question or concern you think is silly or they just should take what their provider is telling them and feel a okay. Not everyone works likes that.

You can you can respond how you want, but there are community agreements and guidelines to be followed. Being dismissive, haughty, negative, and downright rude violates community guidelines. If you can’t be kind and respectful, moderators will get involved. Bullying and rudeness is neither welcome, nor will be tolerated.

I would maybe ask your obgyn what he or she thinks, I know I just got an anatomy scan where the tech seemed new, was having a hard time with the machine and whatnot, and didn’t want to give me an answer on boy or girl as she wasn’t sure, however baby wasn’t moving around too much . Unfortunately I didn’t get any copies of the US but if I had I would’ve definitely asked my obgyn for his input.

@piscesmoon, that’s a totally different scenario from OP. You were not told one way or the other because they weren’t sure. It makes perfect sense to ask your OB. The OP was told for sure, and she’s now asking internet strangers who aren’t ultrasound techs to decipher an US. Certainly, she can ask her providers to clarify if she wants.
