At 16+3 and 20+3 I was told girl! The picture seems very obvious! But I just had a scan and there is something between the legs! This scan was done by a doctor, the first two who said girl were done by a ultrasound tech.
The buldge im pointing to is what the doctor is saying is boy parts. But she looked at my 16+3 scan and there is actually a clip where she goes over the parts and she said she sees 2 labia.
Lord help me I have another scan in a week to QUADRUPLE check!

That would make me insane! I guess I'm inclined to trust the tech because in most facilities they do a lot more ultrasounds than the Drs (if the docs are looking it's usually at other anatomical structures). I'm glad you have another scan scheduled!

Is it possible she has a fused labia or something unusual doing on???

@blackbird: I don't know what that means! I'll look it up lol. Thankfully she's scheduling me for a special scan in a week to find out becasuse im freaking out! Lol. I HATE not knowing!!! I'm happy either way. But I was happy to know we were getting s daughter! Eeeeekk!

@BabyPenguinXO: I'm just wondering if something happened! I would be more inclined to trust the techs over the dr, too, since it's what they do all day. At least you'll get another look in a week

@blackbird: right! I have a tech friend I asked but she said the boy shot is a terrible photo. The legs aren't obvious but it was an MFM who did it. She did guess wrong before though!!! Twice lol

@Danizaur: haha that's ok. The first one the girl parts are circled and the to legs are pointing to the rigjt.
The second and third photos are the same but one im pointing to the parts that appear more boy then girl!

@BabyPenguinXO: I cannot make head or tails of the "boy" photo! But your girl shot sure is convincing with the white lines!

@BabyPenguinXO: okay now that you say that I can definitely tell the first picture. But the last two I can't make out anything. 
I'm no good at this lol

The lady who did our scan said boys are a snail and girls are a hamburger.... that's totally a hamburger.

@avivoca: @loveisstrange: right!!! The girl looks obvious! IF the boy scan was first I woile be more inclined to believe it but that girl photo is sooo BAM!

Maybe there's TWO babies!! Just kidding haha, the first picture looks like a girl without a doubt and I would be more inclined to trust a tech who is specifically trained in ultrasound and practices multiple times per day.

I don't know...when we had our gender scan there were a lot of shots of the boy parts and those "boy" shots look nothing like them!

@spaniellove: that's my opinion too! My boys parts were VERY obvious and I remember thinking for some reason i expected it to be smaller!? (No creepiness intended) but it was always SO obvious!!

@BabyPenguinXO: Maybe it's just the angle, but I remember seeing butt cheeks or legs or something on either side!

@spaniellove: those parts are hard to tell in the picture! Ugh! This is gonna be such a long week!!!!

My guess is girl! But I'm sorry you are dealing with this because it would be so annoying. Luckily both girls and boys are awesome sauce!!!

@BabyPenguinXO: maybe the cord was between the legs on the boy picture? That might make it look as though there's something there that really isn't.

I am rubbish at this game (and was TG so I don't even have any shots of my own to compare it to) but even I can see three white lines clear as day in the bottom picture! I'm saying girl all the way!

I haven't taken an US course, but it's really hard to tell from these shots. There's one where I would say girl.
Without going too far down the rabbit hole, there are some conditions such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia that could make it hard to tell. But one step at a time, I think you need some better images.

The first girl image looked clear to me (and my untrained eyes) 
I don't see anything in the boy shots.
blogger / pineapple / 12381 posts
@BabyPenguinXO: much better shot. I think you are in the clear!

In all the photos you posted, I see three pretty obvious girl pictures and two photos where you can't tell much of anything. I see nothing that looks obviously boy. I think you're pretty safe to say girl!

That newest picture definitely looks girl to me. I think you're safe. I would venture to say that you're seeing the cord in the supposed boy picture but that truly is a horrible ultrasound image.

@BabyPenguinXO: Your most recent pic is exactly what my LO's girl shot looked like. Congrats on your girl!!

okay! repost cause i just realized my info was in that photo! thanks ladies!!

Wow that is hard to tell! But I agree with @spaniellove, the boy parts on our U/S were very, um, boy-ey. And that last shot you just posted looks like a girl to me!

I'd trust to the tech over the doc. Docs aren't trained to read u/s! None of those pics are clear to me though.
