14wk 3D image

[littlebean]

Hi everyone :)

I am PG with my 2nd baby and at 14wks exactly I had an appointment with my Obs who has a scanning machine in her office. She tried to do a potty shot but we only saw a bit of swelling in that area which she said could be boy or girl at this gestation. Then she switched it to 3D and took a photo. I instantly thought what I was looking at was a pair of testicles hanging below the baby's bottom, but since then I have been researching and have found it to be unlikely that testes have descended this early. I have also been trying to find out more about the 'nub' theory.

Would anyone else out there have a better idea about whether this is in fact a 'nub' under my baby's bottom? I understand that 3D is not ideal for a gender prediction and that 14wks is considered too early to give an accurate guess, but I was hoping someone may have come across a similar 'nub' photo in 3D before and may be able to share their experiences?

Thank you in advance for any help you can give :) I have included an arrow to point at it which I hope helps?

I am having trouble identifying anything in that pic, do you have any others?

[littlebean]

Thank you I have this one but it's quite similar, does this one help? :)1683

Really need 2D for gender determination.

Oh now i can see what is where... There is a bump down there but it is hard to say what it is. When i had a 3D scan with my DD it looked like 2 testies, but was actually her labia, just swollen.

OH THANK YOU CINSS :bighug: :running:

I was thinking that about the 2nd photo too! I thought, surely this little 7cm baby can't have big bulging testicles, already???

I found a video on Youtube that shows one of the only similar shots of a 3D nub sticking out of the bottom the way mine is. If you go to 0:50 they show it clearly, in a similar angle to mine. That bub was exactly 14wks too and ended up being a girl :DD:

I don't want to get my hopes up too much, but I'm so glad to have a bit of light shed on a nub showing up under the bottom like that possibly being a girl? Did your DD look a bit like this Youtube video too? :)

3D is useless for gender determination at this stage. You need a 2D image. My 4th DD had "testicles" in the 3D pics at 16 weeks, but she's all girl.

Yes my DDs bits looked even more like 2 testies than that video, my DP swore black and blue he saw boy parts.

It can be both really so 50/50 for now.
