OK so this might be a realllly ridiculous question but we had our elective 3D ultrasound of our little man on Thursday. I didn't really think to much about this while we were there because I was so focused on his cute face and being over joyed that he was in fact 100% all boy. Now that I am home and looking at his pictures .. are his nuts too big? Like should I be concerned? DH is patting himself on the back but I am a little concerned .. I know when little boys are born their sacs are very large and swollen ... is that what I am seeing here? Or does my son have abnormally large balls?! So sorry if this is a really stupid question but this is my first boy and vagina's are just so much easier.

With our 5th and 6th sons they did seem to have big boy bits too! Especially when the ultrasound lady took a close up pic just to prove to me they were boys (cause with the twins I used to ask her to check double every ultrasound to make sure they hadn't gotten it wrong, which was weekly cause they were high risk)
I'm sure it's all ok.

Don't worry even if he is born with swollen bits; it's very common. My sons were not but my nephews were and they went down over a few weeks after birth xxx

Totally normal, as others have said! That pic looks quite average to me, too. What gestation is that ultrasound?

if there were anything amiss the tech would have caught it. The only things that techs do miss are things that are too subtle for laymen to catch off a grainy ultrasound pic.
!!! Questions??
