    First photo is clearly a side profile so you can't tell gender. Second photo is harder to make out... Just head maybe. So I don't think these photos show. They probably based 'girl' on other images that were not printed out.

    Agree you do not have the correct image to tell.

    I'd ask for clarification from your doctor if you are feeling unsure. I could barely tell what I was looking at most of the time during my 20 week ultrasound but trust that the tech and my doctor do.

    It is nearly impossible to be able to tell the baby's sex by looking at the face.

    I can tell your baby has a head. That's about it. I would trust the medical professional who told you it was a girl. 

    Next time you have an appointment, make sure to ask them questions so you don't leave feeling unsure.

    I agree with above posters, it's best to ask before you leave your appointment if you have any questions!  For my anatomy scan they only printed out 2 cute pictures, but also gave me a whole disc with a bunch of other images.  So if you have a disc, or some other version of additional images, this is what you're looking for if you want to see for yourself.

    The image you want is essentially as if your baby is sitting on a chair, and you're looking directly up from the floor.  You will see the two big leg bones (femurs) on each side, which should be pretty bright.  And in between those, if the image is focused correctly, is where you see the genitals and sex determination.

    Girls have a "hamburger sign" or "3 line sign" that is the ultrasound appearance of the labia.  Boys, obviously, have a penis sticking out.  Sometimes these are hard to see on printed or saved images, but are super clear when the pictures are in motion as they do the scan, so don't be scared to speak up!
