2nd Trimester

XP from Aug: Does this look like a boy?

I was so happy to see my LO moving around at my anatomy scan this morning, but I was bummed when the tech couldn't figure out the sex. She *thinks* it is a boy but isn't sure. 

What do you think? It's not a very good picture and it was hard to visualize what was what until she pointed it out to me. This is looking up at the underside of the baby's bum and legs and she thinks the little bump under the question mark is a penis. I've been comparing to ultrasound pictures online, and I'm leaning towards boy too -- I certainly don't see three white lines.

I was so excited to tell people 'we're having a ... !' and now it is more like 'we're having a .... , maybe.'

  • It could be or it could be the cord.  Did she turn on the color detect thing to see if there was blood flow?  My tech did that bc my baby's cord was between her legs and that helped her determine that it was just the cord and not a penis.  On our u/s she gave us 80% probability, but the 3 white lines were pretty obvious even to us.

  • I'm pregnant with dd#2 and neither of their buns looked like that.   But then again, I haven't seen boy parts on ultrasound either.

  • To my untrained eye it looks like he has a set of boy parts :)

  • As others stated if the U/S tech could not tell you we can't either, but I've had 2 boy ultrasounds and it looks like a boy to me.

  • Maybe  you could go for another u/s?  I've considered paying for one of the 3D ones just for extra reassurance.
