Two questions: 1. Who are you? Most of us have been here for the better part of 2-3 months getting to know each other. Without even an intro you come in to ask a question because it'll be fun for us? Nah, not really. 2. What about this side view of a head and torso do you think would indicate sex?
@amberpike I know you're getting picked on and that sucks... But you really should consider changing your screen name from your actual name, this may seem private but it's accessible to anyone with internet. Good luck with your little squish :-)
Lol these people got too much time on their hands. It was just supposed to be for fun, as a first time mom. Who can blame me for being excited. You guys are just ridiculous.
@amberpike I think it’s pretty ridiculous to think we can tell anything from your ultrasound. Except I’m pretty sure it has at least one ear. Congrats?

@dobby0824 Feel free to introduce yourself in the introductions thread and read the rules and then join in on the regular threads. One off threads are generally discouraged. People really are nice here, though sometimes a bit snarky ;-) (We also all tend to be more evidence based, so randomly guessing from a too early ultrasound pushes some buttons)

Well that’s not going to help you make friends around here.
I think @molecularmolly gave you some pretty sound advice. I’d also suggest lurking a bit to get the feel of the board. You’ll find April is very tame compared to other BMBs.
@dobby0824 I get you're excited and congrats being a first time mom.
But we've all been together building relationships and supporting each other from almost the beginning. Guessing the sex of a totally random person's ultra sound who has not contributed to our community is not fun. I don't know you so I'm not invested at all.

We have too much time on our hands yet you're asking internet strangers to guess the sex of your baby
If we're snarky it's because we don't know you. Like @mermaidca said, we've all been here, most of us for at least a trimester now, building relationships and offering support to one another. Why would I care about the sex of your baby when I don't know you?
I'll stay happily in my ridiculous lane, thank you very much.
Wow ! @MRDCle@sheknows6@mermaidca Okay, that was literally my first time using this app, i didn't really know what I was doing. So my bad for posting a picture like that without introducing myself. I'm a newbie. I'd like to apologize for anyone I offended as I was not expecting these types of comments. I belong to another app where this type of post was acceptable. So my apologies everyone! That post really was pure excitement/completely new to this app and community. I think it is great that you April moms are helping each other. I'm sorry i reacted the way I did, I felt attacked and did not understand why.

Read the pinned threads at the top of the board, introduce yourself, and join in on our weekly's like @molecularmolly said- stay, we're really not mean if you take the time to get to know us. And congrats on your pregnancy.
I never get why these type of posts fall back on ‘well *I* was excited!’. Do you think we’re not excited about our babies, OP? Many of us are FTMs, some of us even tried for years or went through IVF or surgeries to get our babies. Some are STM+ who are thrilled to be growing their families closer to how they dreamed it would be. It’s a little unfair to imply we’re not as excited, and it stings a little.
I do understand you didn’t mean to offend, and we are happy to have you here if you want to be part of the community. The bump can get a bit snarky and protective of its board structure, but it can be a really nice source of support in rough times because people are invested in each other.
@sheknows6 thank you so much!! I'm going through everything on here now. Should have done my research first on the app before posting away. I really appreciate the support! Congrats to you too !!
@dobby0824 one more piece of advice- don't delete your posts once they've been made. We don't do Dirty Delete's (DD's) around here either. The goal is for other posters to learn from these kinds of posts and hopefully avoid them.
@lin0442 never did I ever want anyone to think that I was more excited than they were. Of course you're all excited and I'm happy for all of you! I'm sorry if it came off that way, that is not at all what I meant. My apologies
