AW Great AS/Targeted Scan

MrsL2B · May 2014

Everything looked great at my scan today (18w5d). I was a little nervous since I haven't felt a thing from the boy, but it turns out I have an anterior placenta. I was beginning to suspect as much, but no one mentioned it at my prior ultrasounds, and I didn't think to ask. It was great that my husband could make this appointment and watch his kid kicking and waving his hands around. And it was also good for him to meet with the MFM and hear a summary of diabetes management in pregnancy from someone who really knows what he's talking about.

Now can anybody actually make out anything in this picture? It doesn't look a thing like a penis to me!

Congrats on a great scan!

Just so you know, your full name can be viewed on the pic. You may want to take it down, crop it and repost!

ETA: Also, I would trust your MFM re: sex. I don't see three lines, and there is a nub; you aren't going to see something that we would easily identify as a penis this early!

Congrats on the great scan! I am sorry I can't make anything out. I barely understand my own and I was there while the tech explained to me she saw!

Congrats! I love when DH can come to my appts...I mess everything up trying to explain stuff after the fact, and end up just confusing DH. Much better when the doc explains.

I have no idea what I'm looking at in that u/s. Lol I mean, maybe those are legs, but I'm so so bad at deciphering those things!!!

congratulations! i think i see it...? my tech put an arrow pointing to the penis on our ultrasound pic so you know where to look, ha ha. unfortunately our pics are so dark compared to what was showing on the screen so it's still hard to make out.

@VCGolfNYC‌ Thanks for the heads up. I must be tired or pregnant or something!

Congrats on the great scan! Trying to figure out ultrasound pictures always makes me think of that Friends scene where Rachel can't see her baby. I swear that's always me.

Congrats on a great scan!

I think the penis is right below "boy!" - the whiter part is the tip I think. And I think that's a leg right above it

Ok so the 3 lines you see is most likely the femur that the ultrasound got a slice of.

The white tip is indeed the penis head and if you look sideways attached to the tip is testes. This is from what I can tell but I wasn't there and this is just a small portion of what your tech saw.
