3 dots for genitals on ultrasound

by trinitytx22, Nov 09, 2009 07:45PM
i posted this on the maternal forum but thought i could get some input here too my baby in the picture is upside down and facing forward so its a frontal view not a toilet seat view and all you can see is 3 little dots does anybody know what this is?? ultrasound lady said boy at first at different angle then said girl on this picture so has me doubting her ability plus i asked if i bought clothes should i keep the reciept and she said yes so she didnt know for sure i think she was looking for the turtle or the taco.

three lines means a girl, generally with a boy you see nothing or you see what looks like an opaque bubble....did she say three lines or dots? if it's a clear three lines that you can see in the picture (maybe post it?) then it's a girl. Since it's from the front the lines may appear as dots, so she's probably right. That stinks that she couldn't get you a "toilet-seat" view, because they're usually clearer, but not everyone's baby is an exhibitionist :D.

That is a really little baby- how far along are you? Hard to tell but I'm leaning more toward girl than boy. Don't buy any gender specific stuff just yet!

ahhh... key word is Hamburger (three lines) its a girl, Hot dog (one line) its a boy

I'm still on the fence about the picture because it *could* be a little boy hiding his winky or it could be a girl and the angle is just weird (giving the appearance of three dots as opposed to lines).
