It looks like a boy to me, girl parts wouldn't stick out that far in my opinion. Did they say it was a boy? I would go with the professional opinion, we don't know any more than you do...
Looks like a boy to me, but then again, I have no experience when it comes to ultrasounds. If the doctor said that it was a boy and they were positive of it, then I would trust their opinion.
Girl parts don't poke out ! Boys can have 3 lines also, penis and 2 testicles, girls can have anywhere from 3-5 ! Boys are not easily mistaken for girls, however girls can be easily mistaken for boys !
How many more of these types of threads must we endure???
And the reason I keep opening them is because I have to see it with my own eyes. I can't believe that people are still asking strangers to peek at their child's genitals.
Please, for the love of God, can we stop with the ultrasound posts? @BumpAdmin can we get a sticky post that we are NOT ultrasound techs and 5-10 of these posts a day are clogging the boards? It's getting ridiculous.

I was hoping it was going to be another "just kidding" one like the other day. So we could talk about dino, alien, and robot babies.
Definitely boy... I'm so sick of these rude people! Insensitive jerks. If you don't like it, then don't look. It's really not that hard.
There's no need for name calling. It gets old seeing the same posts take over the board. It feels like the "gender" posts (I use quotes because technically the term is being used incorrectly, something members are sensitive to) do little to contribute to our community and they might be better received in a private group or among the mother-to-be's friends and family. We're all strangers here.
I agree. So sick of how rude people are.this is a woman's baby and has every right to ask any opinion, question or query she may have! And every right to be just as excited as the first person in this group to get a scan. So back off and just be nice. It's not that hard and it's just so damn degrading and rude!

Actually I think it's more rude to put your kid's genitals on display for everyone.
The general consensus in this community is it's frowned upon. What's so hard to understand about that?

So what happens when you tell her "definitely a boy", and she takes your word for it and starts buying blue? What if it's a girl? How can you say "definitely" to a stranger's ultrasound pic?

Now this has to be one of the most absurd things I’ve read
to date. Those of us who have
REPEATEDLY asked women to stop posting one off “lets analyze the undeveloped
genitals of my baby” threads are rude? Those of us who have requested
that these women share a common thread so valuable posts aren’t pushed down the
page or to subsequent pages are insensitive?
OK…
They only insensitive people here are those indulging these
women. “Oh you’re DEFINITELY having a
girl” or “Oh for sure a boy. Looks just
like my son’s US pic”. Oh really??? So all of these laymen strangers can definitively
tell these women the sex of the baby when an educated, medical professional has
said it is too early or tough to say for sure?
OK…
Let me tell you why the aforementioned responses are
insensitive. None of us know what the OP
is going through. For a decade I watched
my SIL endure years of disappointment in her effort to have a daughter. I watched her go through fad “gender diets”,
more money than one would care to imagine in embryo sex selection procedures
and painful miscarriages. Every time she
came to me with a blurry crotch shot on an early US and said “Doesn’t this look
like a girl” or “Based on the nub theory this is definitely a girl… right?” or “According
to the skull theory I can total start buying pink”. I’ve heard it all. You know what I told her every time? “Sorry… I honestly don’t know. I hope it is that girl you so desperately
want, but time will tell”. Twice I
watched her go out and buy tons of pink and lilac clothing. Twice I watched her finalize girl names and
pick up nursery room themes. She had
friends who indulged this behavior by saying “oh yeah that totally is a girl. It’s just for fun anyway… so why not”. Guess what… 4 boys later and now with a physical
inability to carry another child, I hardly feel insensitive for not indulging
her in over analyzing every blurry line of her early US results. It was hard enough offering my shoulder to
cry on and watching her sink into a depression when a medical professional gave
her the news “it’s a healthy boy”. By
the way.. this all went down as my husband and I endured years of infertility
treatments and she had 3 before we even got pregnant with our first.
I’m team green and always will be because the equipment
between my baby’s legs means nothing to me.
I just want a healthy baby and I don’t understand this need women feel
to have a certain sex or to HAVE to know at the moment of conception what sex the
baby is in order to bond. I don’t get
it, but I respect that other women have different needs/desires. That excitement does not however entitle
women to ruin a board experience for others who want to have genuine dialogue
about pregnancy. If you posted a thread
titled “Any tips for dealing with MS?”.
I wouldn’t start the same thread 5 minutes later about my morning
sickness and asking for advice. I would comment
on yours because that is what a community does.
We discuss and support one other on topics we are collectively going
through or can share some insight on. We
support and encourage one another. I am
not here to provide US analysis to impatient women. I know how that game ends…
Sadly this board is looking more and more like a FB newsfeed
where all these women feel entitled to post AW threads. Again… you want to playing guessing games on
what many of us consider an inappropriate topic… fine. All we’re asking is that it be done on a
shared thread. Not doing so is what is rude and insensitive.
