First, it's a boy...
Second, during the ultrasound when we first thought we saw the penis the technician said she'd like to get a better look at it because sometimes the clitoris can be swollen and look like a penis. After getting a better look, the technician said it was clearly a boy. I never knew that the clitoris could look like a tiny penis in the beginning. Is this common knowledge?
Re: It's a..../Learned something odd
Yes, boys and girls start out looking the same. Check out this website...
https://www.baby2see.com/gender/external_genitals.htmlWow. That's crazy. Cool website, thanks!
oh yeah, in fact a lot of women have a clitoris that still looks like a small penis when they're adults.
it's really not uncommon. the structure in the two organs are the same, just some clits are bigger and look more penis-like

No problem! I try to pull that out for 1st tri every once in a while when I see them post that they had an u/s at 10 or 12 weeks and the tech guessed that they were having a boy. It sounds like you had a good u/s tech that was extra careful even though you should be able to tell at 18w.
