Help!! Is my ultrasound photo a boy or girl?

kailanmarie · February 2014

At my anatomy scan, the UT looked between the legs for a whole two seconds before saying "looks like a girl!" Followed by "see those 3 lines?" And then right away moved to look at another part of baby.

Would love some other opinions on whether you think she was right or if it could be a boy before I go crazy buying girl stuff! The fact that she rushed the gender just makes me a little unsure. (I also thought, as well as my SO, that the quality was horrible of the ultrasound and the pictures we got from it. Not clear at all.)
Does three lines always indicate a girl?

(I was 18 weeks, 6 days at the appt)

It does look a little blurry, but I am not an us tech either, next time you go to your ob have them scan you again tell them you feel uncertain.

kailanmarie · February 2014

I thought the same thing!
I wonder if my ob would give me another scan..
She has a machine in her office and can do them herself, but I had to go to a different hospital to have that ultrasound because it was an anatomy scan.
I'm definitely going to ask!

It looks like a girl to me. DS's ultrasound looked nothing like that. U/s techs see a lot of babies, and can usually determine the sex of the baby quickly.

Keep in mind - this is her job. She's an expert. She doesn't necessarily need to stare for five minutes to figure out the sex; she knows what she's looking for. Personally, I'd be less sure of the ultrasound tech's "prediction" if she had to spend a really long time staring before being able to figure it out.

I say girl 100% !

WashingtonQueen · February 2014

Without a doubt, that is a girl.

I say girl too. My boy ultrasound looked nothing like this. My u/s with my daughter..I can't really remember but i do remember the three lines thing.

You should trust your u/s tech, they know what to look for.

jgilesslp · February 2014

Looks like 3 lines to me....My boys were very obviously boys.

Mztwilson · February 2014

That's defiantly not a boy.

SanRemo · February 2014

Once I figured out what I was looking at, I could see the 3 lines. That my friend, looks like a girl. Congrats!

kailanmarie · February 2014

Thanks everyone!!
Can't wait to meet my little girl

Girl. My boy looked quite different at around the same GA.

I would trust your ultrasound tech over all of us. They do this for a living and know boy vs girl parts. On another note that's all girl. DS's ultrasound was very obvious boy.

There is no question that that's a vagina.

that made me lol. Not sure why but it did. I think it's a girl. I have had both and I don't see any boy parts.

argonne · February 2014

Looks like a girl. That's what my ultrasound looks like and I'm having a girl. Sex is probably one of the easier things for a tech to determine. My tech only took a second in that area before she said it was a girl.

This was our boy at 16 weeks so I will definitely have to say girl.

sushiq83 · March 2014

Girl for sure!

I don't think she would tell you it was a girl if she wasn't sure and pretty sure she'd mention that she wasn't positive if she wasn't.

Eta: congrats on your baby girl!

It amazes me that y'all can make heads or tails of these things.

I'm just like "tell me what it is because those blurry images mean nothing to me!"

lickitysplit · April 2014

I have a boy and that looks nothing like his ultrasound did; I see the 3 lines - it's a girl! Congrats!

ConversationFear · April 2014

It looks like a hamburger on bun to me - so I would say all gir1.

haliebabyx3 · April 2014

Agree with all the others, definitely girl.

My tech on Thursday saved the sex determination for last and pointed out the three lines of my girl, but did not take a photo. I thought it was an interesting note when she said that she, 'does not take crotch shots of girls.' I didn't ask so I'm not sure but that left me with the impression that she takes crotch shots of boys...cuz you know, you wanna see that??? Either way I wouldn't post my child's crotch shot on the internet and I trust my tech's very experienced and quick determination.

You're having a girl. Congrats!

My son had 3 lines. I have a photo from the 20 week scan AND the 3d elective scan she actually circled it and wrote "it's a girl" before the flashed his junk. I would pay for an elective ultrasound for reassurance.
