I just had my first ultra sound today at 10 weeks and 1 day! It was so exciting! Anyone want to help me guess what the little peanut will be?? I say boy, my husband thinks it's a girl

There is no way to tell from an ultrasound at 10 weeks. You might as well flip a coin.
And why would I want to guess the sex of a stranger's baby?
Is this like a game? Do I win something in 30 weeks if I'm right?
please spend some time lurking around TheBump. if you had, you would see that posts like this dont go over well. if your ultrasound tech couldn't tell you, then there's no way in hell that anyone here will be able to tell you. especially from that photo. sorry..
At 10 weeks the genitals arent formed yet, male and female are virtually identical. At best, we've got a 50/50 shot guessing just like your doctor, the ultrasound tech and everyone else who hasn't seen the baby's chromosomes. There was one of these literally 3 days ago that went over just as well, try lurking a bit more before posting, learn the established norms of the community before jumping in headfirst.

How is it intolerant to say that we can't tell the sex of her baby?
Dudes. Stop calling everyone mean or rude for not digging these posts. People on this site generally aren't into guessing the sex of a random person's baby. There's plenty of sites that welcome that, so you are more than welcome to them.
She knows we can't actually tell her...all she intended was for a little fun during an exciting time in her life.
Why would she assume that random internet strangers would find it fun to make a 50/50 guess based on a picture that is absolutely useless. Its not even fun if its your own relative, let alone someone you've never met or even talked to.
She knows we can't actually tell her...all she intended was for a little fun during an exciting time in her life.
And we're excited for her for having a baby, but that doesn't mean we think it's fun to guess the sex. And what are we basing those guesses on? Motherly intuition? Nope, that's only for the baby in your womb not someone else's. I mean, maybe there's a psychic in the group that can tell her, but until then no one has any idea and what she (and myriad other posters) has done is run up to a group of strangers, shove her ultrasound in their faces, and demand that they have fun telling her what they think she's having.

This is a public forum and the forum goes way beyond you so I really don't care if you don't like me it's plenty of other ladies here that I'm sure will be nicer that you

I didn't say you couldn't have an opinion, just that calling people you don't know mean and rude isn't the best way to start a relationship.

Oh my gosh, if u think everyone is so rude then why are u still here? There's lots of other sites that would probably better suit you. The general feeling here on the bump is it's not fun to guess the sex of other peoples babies. You are in the minority on this issue-- by far. So if u don't like what ur reading then there's a ton of other perfectly good sites that u would love. Sites that love putting feelings over facts, and guessing at things they have no idea about, and symptoms spotting. If that's what floats ur boat then have at it. Not trying to be rude here I just really don't understand what point u think u are making. Honestly right now YOU are the instigator in this post. Yes u are entitled to your opinion but I'm just telling u, what u are getting at is a lost cause....people on the bump will never enjoy guessing the sex of a baby no matter how much u think we should

Mean or rude could be saying something along the lines of - Your posts leave me breathless. Have you heard of punctuation? Talk about run-on sentences. I will say, you spelled correctly so that's a plus. Saying we don't want to guess what Jane, Renee or Bobbie Jean's child's sex is, isn't rude or mean. There are plenty of threads that have actual rude or mean comments. This however, isn't one of them.

Lol you guys are funny but anyways I said what I had to say so I'm done talking I really don't care how any of you feel you guys are the type to gang up on people just because they don't feel the same way you do about things all I was saying is if you don't agree with someone just don't reply to their post instead of downing people just leave them alone but trust me I'm not the type to bite my tongue just because you guys feel some type of way if you can go around stating your unwanted opinions on peoples post I can surely write my comment saying you should be nice lol anyways have a wonderful day ladies I'm not trying to argue so I'll just exit this post

Not trying to argue? Ha, that's exactly what you were doing in this post. Clearly you haven't lurked enough to know that you are not going to change these boards, especially getting people to not respond to a post when you don't think they should. #thatsnothowthisworks

I'm with you on this.
But people are genuinely confused as to how one could even attempt to guess. So is the OP expecting a thread full of people saying "boy" or "girl" for no apparent reason? She asked people's opinions... so people are going to give their opinions. Most of which being, "we can't tell you that or even attempt a guess at this point, no one can." Which isn't rude, it's just the truth.
If someone is asking "help me guess my baby's sex based on this 10 week ultrasound" there are really no other responses besides, "we can't." No one is being mean but literally no one can help guess that at this stage.

Yes, I can tell they are confused. Eye roll. They must be confused day after day after day, on each and every one of these "tell my what my baby is" threads. Yes, there are hundreds. You would think by now people wouldn't be so confused anymore and I don't know, maybe skip over these posts? No, that's not nearly as fun as breaking the OP down and making her feel bad for asking a question (regardless of whether or not it's a good question to ask).

"We can't" would have been a great response and some people did say that. Too bad the thread is littered with rude memes (funny, but not nice) and snotty comments rather than one as simple as "we can't". Hmm.

OP isn't even a part of this conversation for some reason. Who posts and runs?? ... Actually a ton of people and it's seriously pointless to post in the first place if you are going to post and run. I wish that was against TOU . We're not Google !! Nobody can tell the sex of a baby from an ultrasound pic like that anyway
