13+6, can you see the genitals?

[3bumpbump]

Been studying this picture so hard. At first I thought the white circle next to the baby's leg was the 'bits', but I'm pretty convinced now that it's cord, and a penis surely couldn't be that big at 13 weeks?!

I see 3 white lines at the bottom in between the legs, with the middle one slightly longer than the other two? but I'm not sure if I'm just seeing that because it's what I want to see. Any ideas? Would hugely appreciate it :)

[3bumpbump]

No one?

[Abifasc]

If I'm looking at the nub, it looks like a boy. You can see the cord further to the left in the middle of the belly. Not sure what that bright round dot is above the nub...probably leg.

[3bumpbump]

Which bit are you looking at as a nub?

[kaseybaby]

maybe boy

[3bumpbump]

Which bit is everyone seeing as being a boy?

[3bumpbump]

Not one person thinks it could be a girl?

[Abifasc]

Here's what I see. I tried to show where the cord is and the nub. http://i57.tinypic.com/2hdv9ds.jpg}

Oh I see, is that because it's not inline with the spine? The nub you've highlighted I see a white line on either side of that though :S

Right, it's at a definite angle. You would be looking for three lines on a potty shot if you were hoping for a girl, not a profile shot. Sorry if this isn't what you were hoping for but boys are such a blessing!

[3bumpbump]

Oh I see.

It will be my 3rd boy.

Did you get any other pics? It is tricky nub, I wouldn't give up hope for a girl just yet

I got this one, but the image cuts off right around the bum.

[Laurie1161]

Can't see a nub in any of them I'm saying complete 50/50 and hope you get your girl x

[3bumpbump]

Thanks Laurie!

[3bumpbump]

Bumping for more opinions

[nuthinbutpink]

Looks like a boy.

[3bumpbump]

I'm probably just in total denial considering everyone thinks it's another boy

[nuthinbutpink]

At 13+6, did they not look between the legs? With that bump, you would have seen boy parts I believe. That white bulb is the penis so it does look like a boy. I'm sorry it's not more girly looking.

[3bumpbump]

No they won't look that early. I've read in multiple places that boys and girls look the same at 14 weeks and that's why gender scans can be so risky at that stage so I was having some hope that it could still be a girl. :(

[maidentomother]

I think it looks boyish, too.

[3bumpbump]

Given up hope for a girl :(

[Laurie1161]

It does look boyish the more I look but it is a tricky one and it's not clear , are you going to get a private gender scan? X

[3bumpbump]

No We didn't want to know, but someone looked at my scan and said boy and I'm really struggling with it, hence me asking here.

[Hopingforaprincess]

Did you sway for a girl?

[3bumpbump]

We were, then took a break from actually TTC and got pregnant. Should have conceived a few days before O though. Not even sure whether there's a nub or penis or what, so many conflicting opinions!

[Hopingforaprincess]

I'm no good at these things but I hope you get your girl!

[kaseybaby]

I am not 100% that is a nub, but if it is that is a pretty defined boy nub. I would prep yourself to hear boy again and get a wonderful, amazing surprise if it is a girl. It does happen when nubs turn out to be the opposite. Thats why it isn't 100% :)

[Hopeful someday]

It's actually a really clear nub shot and is all boy, the bulb on top is as previously mentioned the developing penis, I'm sorry it isn't the gender you desired.

[3bumpbump]

Is it possible to get this thread removed? I seriously need to stop looking at the responses.

[Nahri]

It does look boyish and in the skull as well. But don't give up hope yet hun but prepare for a boy. I was disappointed when my first was a boy and we are trying very hard for a girl since it will be the last child my health will handle. Never give up hope until you have a confirmed ultrasound. I wish you the best

[Laurie1161]

I don't know if you've seen any of my posts but I was praying for a girl , got told girl at a private 16 week scan then told boy at 18 and 19 weeks, this is my 3rd son, I totally understand how you are feeling. After seeing him again on scan last night though moving around and stretching out I've fell in love with him already and all those negative feelings I had went away . I hope you are okay x

[3bumpbump]

I'm torn on whether to find out or not. I didn't want to know, but what's the point I'm already sure it's a boy. All this pregnancy from everyone around me are comments about how they hope it's a girl, hopefully it's a girl, poor you if you have 3 sons etc. I'm just up and down at the moment and it's really getting to me.

Stared at that picture so long trying to convince myself that's something other than a penis.

hi!
just read your post and wanted to message you just to say dont worry what other people think wether its a beautiful boy or gorgeous girl although it is good to hear other peoples opinions!. my 16 week scan was wrong so who knows! but either way try not to worry which one baby is i was desperate for a baby girl after having my two boys was told girl at 16 weeks then boy at 20! i had my baby boy 8 weeks ago!and he is amazing and its lovely to see the bond between him and his brothers already! after my scan i felt heart broken and possibly a little resentment to the baby i was carrying but i just wanted to tell you that those feelings go away and when that baby is born its the one you want and love wether its a boy or girl ! we decided that we would have one more baby ( defo with ivf pgd)which helped me accept things and enjoy the rest of my pregnancy and be excited for his arrival ! would you consider having another one if this one does turn out to be a boy? hope you dont mind me messaging you i just know how you feel but yours still could be a girl!! but if not it will still be absolutely amazing and something to be proud of!!(i always say i scored a hatrick! 3 boys! ) xxx

[Laurie1161]

I had that too when I found out I was pregnant , both sets of grand parents saying oh how we hope you give us the first grand daughter , mil pretty disapointed as she had my dh and his brother there's no girls in their family. My brother and sil have a boy and they are trying and I just know she will get a girl , she doesn't even look after the one she's got! Even people you meet who know you have 2 boys and you tell them your having another say silly things like oh were you not wanting a girl lol ehhh well I can't freekin swap it can I lol some people just do not think . Is this your last baby bump? I know how you are feeling , the last 2 weeks I've been thinking things like will I cope as better at birth and will I give him less attention to ds2 etc but after seeing him last night and having it confirmed I feel so much better , I think if you do feel this way you would be better finding out to give yourself time to prepare ,and you might feel differently when you see him on ultrasound even get a 3d one so you can see better .

My 3 rd son was a failed sway (on IG) and after sobbing at the unfairness of it all after my 16 week gender scan, he totally had us smitten. It helped me buying really lovely bedding, new pram and cot etc, because had he been a girl I would have done all that for her. It helped finding out before birth because his birth was all about him, not about gender. Good luck xx

Thank you for all the responses. I didn't realise how hard gender disappointment would affect me, although I think a large part of this is down to all the comments I get left right and centre. It almost makes me feel a failure for having 3 boys.

I definitely think another bonding scan might help, I'm considering paying just to see him because I haven't really connected yet.

I don't think I'm sad about a son, just knowing this is my last and I have no more chances for a girl. :(

[sweetdream]

Its a process of grieve for the loss of your so desired gender. It has nothing to do with your beautifull son(s)
We know how you feel. I hope you get a Nice bonding scan! He will steal your hart the moment you lay eyes on him. And he will always have a special place.

[princess14]

Hey hunnie,don't be disappointed or feel like a failure to have 3 sons.. I have 3 beautiful boys and it's amazing the love and care they give their mammy:) I'm now pregnant again and due in 3 weeks with a baby girl. BUT still wouldn't change my three boys.. Xxxxx


Mammy to 3 beautiful boys & a princess due in July:)

[Hopingforaprincess]

I was the same way with my 3rd especially being told he was a girl then telling everyone then going back to find out he's a boy. I surely thought I was having a girl because the pregnancy was completely different (I've learned to never rely on that feeling). Congrats to you and trust me it will get better once he's here...I just love my three boys to death!

[3bumpbump]

I don't know for certain it is a boy yet but I'm pretty sure after everyone's responses.

[sweetdream]

what a big surprise if he turns out te be a girl!! don't give up hope just yet.

[Petal]

I cant tell from the pics but if it IS a boy then i'd just like to share my story...

I was devastated when I found out my dc3 was another boy, I cried and cried for days, I was heart broken, but after a while when people started saying 'I bet you want a girl' and 'I hope its a little girl' etc I became so defensive of him, how dare people wish he was someone else, what was wrong with boys? from then on I had a bond with him, I bought him clothes, a nice new pram and was happy to be having him. From the moment he was born I had this instant bond with him, more so than with my first 2 sons. He is my special little GD boy and that makes me love him so much more than I ever thought possible.
Good luck hun, GD is a nasty thing but you can overcome it (if you even have to) x x
