Penis or labia on an ultrasound?

I found out the sex yesterday, and was told we're having a baby girl! I swore he was going to say boy because I thought I saw a penis, but he said it's the labia. Does it stick out like that on anyone else's ultrasounds? I want a girl so bad, but I keep second guessing! I'm a first time mom.

  • If your tech said it's a girl, it probably is. The female sex organs look a little different still than they will at birth.

  • I read online somewhere that male genitals look like a turtle and female genitals look like a hamburger. Pretty weird IMHO but whatever. Trust your ultrasound tech. They wouldn't tell you at all if they thought they were wrong because they know it affects your life if they get it wrong. My 19 week ultrasound ended in the tech not telling us what he thought baby was because he didn't want to be wrong (baby crossed his legs so the view was pretty bad), but later at 22 weeks they were able to tell us definitively.

    If they told you it's a girl, they have a reason. Remember that they're trained and you're not, so my inclination would be to trust what they have to say.
  • My sons ultrasound his penis came out a bit from his body, it was clear they was a ball sac, and his penis.
    If they told you girl then your more then likely having a girl.
