PIP of NT scan gender guess

in 2nd Trimester

So, what do y'all think?  Sorry for the bad quality - it is a between the legs shot from the bottom looking up.

My Peri says girl but, the more I look at it the most confused I am.  We will verify at my next u/s in 1.5 weeks.

    Sorry it really isn't clear enough to tell:( And 12.5 weeks is reallyyy early to guess girl. But they definitely could be right I guess!

    It's really hard to tell from the picture.  Usually around this age all babies have something sticking out down there.  My u/s tech said it's the angle at which it lies.  If it sticks straight out then it may be a girl.  If it's a 30 degree angle or higher then it may be a boy.  She said she's usually right about 80% of the time.

    Honestly, the quality of that picture is so bad it's really hard to tell.

    FWIW, they didn't look for white lines at my NT scan.  They looked at a line that was straight and said we had girls.  For the boy the line had a 45 degree angle and they said it was a boy.  They were right.

    This exactly.  Boys and girls look very similar at that age; it all depends on the angle.  From what I have gathered from ingender.com, the shot has to be a profile of the baby with the spine visible to determine the angle.  It would be near impossible to tell from under the bottom like that.

    I took it with my iPhone b/c my D60 is dead.  I'll try to update again tonight.

    But, my doctor said nothing was sticking out and she wouldn't guess unless she felt fairly confident.  I guess that counts for something!

    Ditto this.

    Our tech used the pic in my siggy. She "guessed" boy for us.

    If I had to guess I would say boy.

    Yeah I agree that it is a profile shot with the spine visible.  Ours was & he compared it to a picture from a textbook in his office & it was identical.  She didn't cooperate at the 20 week u/s so I guess we'll know for sure on the March 4th.  **crosses fingers**
