The sonogram tech was 100% it's a girl. This is the same women who could pick out parts of the brain, kidneys, chambers of the heart, and the cord!
I see girl parts based on what I've learned from the bump!
DH is worried the sonogram tech was wrong, and that the penis is just hiding? Vote for me please!!!!

Re: I trust sonogram tech, but I trust you girls more-ish?(Clicky Poll)
If it was a case of not being able to see the boy parts, that would be one thing, but you can clearly see the girl parts.. those three bright white lines next to where the Sonographer typed in "Girl".
Is your husband seriously going to take our word for it over the professional?? lmao
haha, Probably not, it's just another Ace in my Pocket! Plus now he put doubt into my head, so it's nice to hear!!
I'll apologize now if this sounds rude, but wth? Trust your u/s tech over a bunch of internet strangers!
Nothing is 100% until the baby is actually born, but it looks like a girl to me.
Why don't you have an option for "Yes, I'm an idiot... but please don't tell me that."
Your subject lline makes you look like an idiot.

One sure way to make people think you are dumb is to ask internet strangers over the advice of a medical professional.
Way to go May Mamas... always full of gems!
Emjay, thank you for your ever so helpful reply....again!!
Some people like to be snarky just to be snarky, at least Carrie had an actual response (which I agree with Carrie, it's more for reasurance than actual fact)
Because it's fun!! and this:

I will have you know I find your "trust" comment completely insulting. I have been a Sonographer for 6 years now. Do you realize how difficult ultrasound school is? Minimum grade to PASS ultrasound school is 80% and we have to do a YEAR internship (work for 40 hours a week without getting paid) before we can even graduate! I am not saying we are all perfect by any means, but we are TRAINED to know what we are looking at. We are TRAINED to know and identify normal and abnormal anatomy. There is no other position in the medical field out there today that basically has to diagnose what they are looking at. We are as close to a physician assistant as you can get. We CAN get sued just as easily as a Doctor.
I have always commented that I would answer any questions about ultrasound I could on this website, but I am getting really fed up with comments like this... Sonographer's get pregnant too, maybe some of you should think about that before you post sh!t like this.
You and your husband are idiots if you trust non professionals on the internet over a Sonographer.
so ... is that a girl she's having then?
Our tech couldn't get a good shot and said, "If I had to take a guess I'd say girl" and we didn't get nearly as good of a picture as you got. Putting any trust in TB is foolish.
If your DH really doesn't believe then cough up the cash to go to a 3d/4d place for gender confirmation.
Just use this as a guide... right before you post... read it over, and use common sense. That might help. But we know I'm asking for too much. Me and my "sky is the limit" ideas.
So you're going to ask me that after you read my post? OK I will humor you, yes it looks like girl parts plus cord running between the legs.
It doesn't take more than a little tiny angle to make a boy look like a girl. Also, I don't see color doppler on the cord I see, to prove or disprove it is cord. But if the Sonographer said she was 100% sure, I would have to say she was feeling very confident on what she was looking at. Seeing a still image versus seeing it live is very different.
And I just laugh at all of you who look at these pictures others post and are so confident that you know what your looking at. Ultrasound isn't that simple, sorry. To act as if any of you are qualified to make this type of judgement call is insulting.
LMAO!
yeah, so what is it then?
Just makes her look even more like an idiot in my opinion.
I wasn't being snarky! I made a promise to only say nice things this week!
It was more tongue in cheek than anything else.
:shrug:
I've had 7 Sonograms so far in this pregnancy. I am in complete awe of the skill of the Sonographers I've seen. Their ability to see what's going on in there is just amazing. No one with half a brain could possibly believe that without any training, you could look at a picture and say ANYTHING constructive. It's ridiculous.
Are you sure you didn't miss and slip that tongue up your rectum?
I laughed.
I laughed.
I get that a sonographer is going to be very skilled and trained at what they are looking at. I have mad respect for jmcdow and others in her line of work. However, some of us have had babies before. While that doesn't make me an expert, I certainly feel like I can at least give my opinion (from my experience) on what I think the picture looks like. I can for sure say that IMO, that doesn't look a thing like any boy u/s I've ever seen.
I'm a CPA. I don't get my panties in a wad when someone comes on here giving advice for a question that "only a trained CPA must know the answer to." People have past experiences and learn from those. Just because they aren't trained, doesn't mean they are all clueless idiots. Personally, I don't see any reason why giving an OPINION on the matter is a big deal.
Do I think her OP is worded douche-ely? Yep. I also think the OP is kind of a douche in general, but that's a whole different topic. lol
see? Now you've gone and lost all credibility.
I realize we all have hot button issues and this is yours, but honestly you are all worked up over nothing. She wasn't criticizing you. She wasn't even criticizing her sonographer. She just wanted to show off her AW and get some opinions; nothing more, nothing less.
Jenerally was 100% joking. WTF.
There is a lot of idiocy in this post but it sure isn't coming from Jenerally or you.
