this is a silly question but somehow I forgot to ask which side of baby is the head and which side are the feet! Myself and my best friend think left, boyfriend thinks right. What do you think?!

Re: Sonogram- which side is the head?
Looks like the head on the left to me. Congratulations!
Pro-tip: Things that are exciting for you are not as exciting to internet strangers. As PP said, sonogram posts don't tend to go over too well here...better to share these things with family and friends or (maybe) your birth month board.
Edited for clarity.
Kyra- well, of course it would be better to ask a technician! But I did not; so I thought, why not post in here. It was my impression that that's what these boards were for-- serious questions, silly questions (like, which side is the head?!) and sharing pregnancy experiences.
Of course I cannot control other posters. I just can't relate to being a jerk to strangers for really no good reason, that's all. If I see a post I'm not interested in, I just move on.
On the other hand, you could always opt to follow your own advice and "move on" from a post that isn't important to you.
ETA I have no idea where the head is.
We most certainly do.
Honestly, if you're that offended by her comment then you might want to check out a fluffier forum. If not, I'd highly suggest lurking a LOT more around here. Have a great day.
To reply directly to you: no, my post was not rude whatsoever. I understand a lot is going through your head during a sonogram, but your technician should have offered more information, as I said. There's nothing rude about being 'shocked' you didn't think to ask some of the most important questions during your appointment.
You are evidently far too sensitive for an online forum. I hope you're able to find more 'helpful' people elsewhere. I apologize we weren't able to answer your question in the manner in which you expected.
It's a girl! Wait, what was the question?
OP- Calm down and lurk a bit before you go getting super defensive. This is a great place for support and for connecting with other people going through what you are. The reason why these posts don't go over very well is because if you had lurked around for a bit, read a few responses and had gotten a general feel for the environment here, you'd have realized that these types of posts come off as very AW-ish and pointless as 1. WE have no idea how to read a sonogram because we're not sonographers and 2) Even if I was one and could tell you I likely wouldn't risk my medical license giving out medical information on the interwebz. Stick around for awhile, brush this off as your one faux pas and move on.
But seriously, could someone tell me how to get this thread closed? I've looked on the site but can't figure out if there's a way. My opinion is that those posts were rude; it's totally OK that people disagree-- I'd just rather end the discussion about it at this point. I will be super careful about what I post in the future. Thank you in advance if anyone can help!
As far as the simple statement goes...how would we know??? Well, factually, we are not trained professionals, and if your technician wasn't able to provide you with this information I don't know how you expect us to give you an accurate answer. That's "unreasonable".
If you're offended by an innocent comment about being shocked you didn't think to ask something that important at your appointment, well sorry, tough shit. Why are you not "shocked" your technician didn't explain it to you?
We are all really, actually, quite helpful and I've got some amazing feedback and responses from the ladies on this forum, but replying with aggression to something unwarranted doesn't usually go well.
