2nd Trimester

For those who already know the sex...

Were you able to see the genitals and guess the sex right away, or did you have to wait until the u/s tech told you what the baby was?

Re: For those who already know the sex...

  • I knew what to look for and yes, I did see three lines....which meant a girl!

  • I would have had no clue what we were looking at if she hadn't told us. The baby was in a weird position, though.

  • When the tech was doing some measurements of the baby's legs I saw the three little lines right away and knew it was a girl!  When she came back to the money shot and zoomed in even further, I knew I was right!

  • The testicles and penis were pretty easy to see. ?I think I'd have a harder time figuring out it was a girl with these elusive 3 lines everyone keeps talking about.

  • I think boy parts are easier to see.  Mason spread his legs and we immediately saw his parts.
  • As soon as she went "down there", I knew that second it was a boy.

    This.

  • For DH and I, it was so obvious to us that we were having a boy because our LO was showing all of his "goods" for everyone to see.  Even my Dr and the Ultrasound tech commented that they haven't seen a LO show his/her goods as clearly as our LO was showing his.

    It was quite hilarious. DH was quite proud.EmbarrassedBig Smile

  • When the tech focused on that area, I could tell immediately.  But, it wasn't obvious to us before that. 
  • I knew she was a girl the second he put the doppler on me, from every angle she was flashing us.  DH didn't know of course, so he found out when the tech told us, but it's a good thing I wasn't Team Green because I knew right away, before the tech asked if we wanted to find out or not.
  • I knew to look for the three lines, but I couldn't see them until the US Tech paused and took a still image. She was moving around so much!!

  • I knew what to look for, but I couldn't tell until the tech gave us the specific "crotch shot" and showed us that it was a little boy!
  • Right before the tech asked us if we wanted to know the sex, I saw him flash his goods--no denying he's a boy!

  • When the u/s tech was doing the measurements of the legs, I could clearly see that there was nothing dangling, so I assumed it was a girl even before she told us and pointed out the three lines.
  • I knew it was a girl right away as soon as the tech pulled up the pic...it was pretty easy to tell.
  • Very obvious!!!

  • I had no idea.  The tech had to tell me.... with all of my kids.

  • I also knew what to look for but no, I didn't see them (three lines).  They look at so much stuff...half of the time I had no idea what I was looking at...until they told me, of course.

  • My husband saw DS parts right away! I didn't realize it until the tech pointed it out 10 seconds later.

  • She told us it was a girl as soon as she put the thing on my belly!  Once she showed us, we were able to see it too.

  • I didn't know what to look for (we are having a girl) so the tech told us. Our baby was being stubborn so it took awhile to see her parts.

  • Ours was pretty apparent before the tech said anything.  There was definitely nothing hanging out between her legs.
  • I actually found out at 12 weeks when LO was hanging on to something for dear life and not letting go.  I was really funny cause the tech said she'd never seen anything like that but was 90% sure that we had determined sex 8 weeks early.

  • The tech said, "Do you want to know what you're having?"

    I said, "Yes!"

    She showed me the screen

    I said, "Holy crap it's a boy!"

    She said, "Yep, that is definitely a boy."?

  • I also saw the infamous three lines, but waited until the tech told us to let myself believe it... I wanted to be sure they were the right three lines!

  • Although I knew to look for the three lines, it was too obscure to see until the U/S tech pointed it out to us. She asked us before she even started if we wanted to know. My brother said the tech never told them and they had to ask as she was walking out the door.

  • Our little boy made it very obvious what he was before the tech said anything.
