I need a favor from mothers with boys....ladies.. with any of your sons around the 13 week mark do you feel their junk was still easily hidden without the right view? like could legs obstruct it so you couldnt even see the boy parts until you were given a better angle?
I had an emergency ultrasound when i was 13+2 because of some bleeding. Baby measured closer to 13+6 from what the tech told me. You know how they are in those situations though and not only are they not supposed to say the sex but they are supposed to avoid the area at all costs if they can so nobody knows yet basically. I looked and looked and i'll be damned but that tech did not get me any angles where the legs or leg bones were out of the way..i swear i watched that screen like a hawk for girl or boy nub or parts and saw nothing. That would normally make me think girl anyways since i would think if baby measured far enough ahead i would have seen SOMETHING if it was a boy, yeah? Does anyone have any pictures of confirmed boys between 13-14 weeks that are side profiles? i am wanting to see how often those parts can still be hidden or if they would be quite obvious by that point. I have been looking through the confirmed boy galleries but alot of those are potty shots much further along or really good nub shots that clearly show the boy parts and i am looking for boys that would still be able to 'hide' their bits between those weeks specifically not more and not less..
I dont know if i brought this up. The whole situation has been really bothering me though and making my heart skip a beat for obvious reasons. The techs arent supposed to refer to baby as anything other than baby or it..and with 3 other pregnancies i can confirm they absolutely never said anything related to gender until 20 weeks..but this wasnt a 'regular' tech either...and he kept refering to the baby as 'he' 'him' and the doctor that came in to check on me did as well. Which floors me because with my pregnancy records they would see where verifi said girl.

I wish I could help you Burakoam, but with my other 2 boys I didn't get a sono until 20 weeks. So did you not see a potty shot or a nub shot at that U/S? I can tell you that at my NT scan last week there were a couple views where there was nothing between the legs! It just depended on the angle/view. So you never know!! Sometimes I think people also don't think about what they are saying when they say "him" and "her". When I was pregnant with DS2 we didn't find out the gender and one of the nurses referred to him as "she" after she had looked at my chart. It gave me hope that he was a girl...but nope lol!! When will you have your anatomy scan to find out the gender for sure?

Interesting burakoam, I have none of ds2, we had a scan at 15 weeks and you could clearly see the meat and two veg at that stage. I have a poor quality scan of ds1 at 12 w 4 days I could try and share but it shows nothing that I can see! X

I have my booking scan next Tuesday, am paranoid about having a mmc, I feel pretty rubbish so that is a good sign isn't? Despite an increase in my thyroid medication my tsh has increased to nearly 9 so that is a worry also. I feel like I have been pregnant for an eternity and yet am only 10 weeks. Funny the closer the scan gets, the more I want it to be further away, ignorance is bliss sort of thing.timing will be rubbish as the weekend after the scan we are having a birthday party for my 6 year old, 30 children and parents! Aaagggghhhh x

Purple, that is fantastic news... congratulations!!! We have a midwife here that offers a program and I have been dying to take her course... maybe someday!!!!
Magical, Oh nooooo... that is horrible, I'm sorry you're in so much pain. When I was working for an OB we had a pregnant patient that needed an emergency appendectomy (appendix removal) and she was fine... I can't remember how far along she was though.
Burakoam, Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I have a video of my ds3 at 13+4 weeks when the tech told me I was having a girl and even pointed out several things to support her theory. One shot in the video is a nub shot and knowing what I know today it was clearly a boy, but the other shot in the video is between the legs and she was very adamant that seeing nothing between the legs at this stage was definitely a girl... and the fact there was a solid white line- again- the line was in the direction that supports boy, but I didn't know any better back then. Then at a 15/16 week ultrasound they confirmed girl again, but at 20 weeks he was clearly all boy.

I have a scan from my DS1. He measured 13w6d at 13w1d. You can't see a damn thing, but he looked like a boy to me! I can't find my other scan pics of him that show his boy parts in all their glory, haha! But my side profile pic didn't show anything.
Now off to find which box it is in to post it for you....

Girlie, Hugs for you... I have had three mmc's and that is a fear that I carry with me until I reach the 20th week... but even then I don't think that fear ever really goes away. Praying for good news at your scan and that your birthday party for our son is uneventful and fun for all!!

Burakoam, Here is the scan from ds3... you can see how the tech takes the cursor and explains her girl theory to me when in fact she was totally wrong and it was indeed a boy.

JDD- because it was an emergency scan I got nothing but the briefness I could see and a huge part of me agrees some don't even realize they are doing it and it probably meant nothing... but it's frustrating :(
But my elective scan where I'll get gender is this Saturday.. 5 days..
Girlie- I am so sorry you aren't feeling well but yes that can be a very good sign! Doctors still tend to agree that in moms who get sick that the sicker they are the healthier the pregnancy!
Brandles I really would appreciate if you would share the video with me.. that may even help more since you were right around where I was and the video will show me as the tech moves in and out to point things out to you! Edit: took me forever to write this post so i posted AFTER you posted the video..thank you!!!!!
XX- waiting as patiently as I can! LOL

Out of my 4 (including this one) I had an us with 3 of them before the 20 week mark. Only ds2 was very clearly a boy. Even at 17 wks with this baby he was not clearly a boy (it was on a crappy machine) last week when my midwife did it she said I think it is a boy. Then at the end she said maybe not...could be girl.... it actually just made me upset because I know it is a boy. I wish she would have said nothing at all. We had a very hard time getting in between the legs though. For ds2 my 13 week scan was very very clear. No doubt a boy
