I guess it was just - I was more in denial that baby was a girl - it was a quick "it's a girl" let's move on discussion --- we have one of each already... My girl, the oldest I felt great the whole pregnancy! Never felt like I was pregnant until month 7! My son I was sick from day 1- and although I know every pregnancy is different after being sick for 18 weeks and having the same exact cravings I had for him I assumed we would have another boy! But big sister is ecstatic as are we! We just wanted healthy
It's kind of bad form to shove pictures of your fetus' genitals in our face without having built up any kind of prior relationship on the board. Drive by randos aren't really our thing. Congrats on the baby, hope the MS goes away. I've had it this whole pregnancy too so I can sympathize on that at least.
@jkgudorf2010 My apologies, your profile says you joined a week ago and you never bothered to introduce yourself or build any other rapport with the board.
@ashleaf2018, @Neikoda, @dmontgo, @cjt121413, @Fauxpa, @R0824H, @sourlemon, @slartybartfast I love you guys!!! @jkgudorf2010 it looks very similar to the shots we have of L at his 21w AS. He is definitely all boy. BUT I'm also not trained to read these things. Considering that you just popped into an established community, without even a 'Hello', with a pic of your baby's genitals, you received a very laid back response. No one really wants to see that, and no person really wants to ever know that a group of internet strangers saw their junk. The READ ME FIRST, INTRODUCTION, and The Bump Guidelines can really help you get a feel for how The Bump works, and a decent perspective of how our particular board works.

I understand, I wanted a boy the entire time and when the tech said "definitely a boy!" I asked her to check like 5 times, and then a lot of rude ass people kept saying "watch it be a girl when it's born", not that a girl would be bad I just like to be prepared and have a name picked out and all that. So at every U/S i'm asking them to double check. It definitely looks like a girl to my untrained eye, my boy's US looked completely different.

You know sometimes I worry when I create my own posts, because maybe you guys think I don't post enough, and am a random...but then I see posts like this, and I feel so much better about posting lol.
@brittnic86 There is a distinct difference between you and the randos. I can remember Tagging you multiple times, when I check your user account you have many replies compared to your threads, and you are around enough that people can remember you. The randos are new/never posted/posted 2-5 times then disappeared. They don't contribute on other threads, they don't (usually) follow the rules, they flip out when they are corrected, and they ask for help before ever helping someone else.

Well, since it pretty clearly says girl to the left...yeah. PS, I'm sure your daughter will love knowing you blasted her labia all over the internet while she was still in utero

Call it my Flame Free Confession Friday...or flame away....yeah rando posts are annoying but all these comments being high and mighty about posting baby genitals on the internet are pretty hypocritical considering we have a huge U/S thread full of baby genitals. Just saying, you cant have a thread full of those pics and then try to be all "snarky" about it. Anyway, carry on....

Not every US pic in that is of genital. And I have never posted either LO's genitals online. Profile, yeah def did with L, but not potty shots.

@juliehollz13 - I had that same thought. The anatomy scan thread too. Being weird about ultrasound pics being inappropriate is odd to me. Whatever angle. Asking internet strangers to verify your ultrasound tech, ha! I'll try my best for you! I do think I read this one very accurately though.
I've never posted a baby upskirt online and don't condone it. But if you're going to do it, stick it in the US threads so it can be buried amongst the other pictures. Creating an AW thread just to have strangers double check your US tech's professional judgment? I think some playful snark is warranted. If you don't agree, then don't snark. Win win win.
Exactly what @LinziLoo09 said. I've never posted my baby's vag, and I've never asked y'all to second-guess medical professionals either.
I've also never randomly posted in an Internet forum I've never used before and asked people to pay attention to me and my needs without reading the Intro or Read Me First threads and at least trying to follow the expectations of the board.
That'd be like going up to a group of women I've never met before and inserting myself into the conversation to ask for advice from people I don't even know and haven't even introduced myself to. That would be weird and inappropriate.
If you don't like snark, don't snark. But don't tell people who are here almost every day giving support what they can and can't say.
What do ya'll think - Girl!?
Re: Definitely girl?!
I don't know. Might be an alien. I definitely see a resemblance.
