I have a very silly question though.. Is it possible that the tech/sono alter or edit the pics for our ultrasound report so that we don't get any gender clues??
Just asking coz here we don't get any clue regarding gender...

It's not a silly question, many people have wondered that.
And the answer is (this comes right from an ultrasound tech we used to have on the site!) is that the techs actually really resent issues of gender and are so overworked they would never have time to worry about it anyway. They are trained to care for one thing, and that is the baby's health. They get very irritated with people asking about gender, and they would very much prefer not to have to even deal with it. They have no interest and no time in editing anyone's ultrasound photos to look any different than they do, and additionally they would be of no use to the doctors (who get copies of these pictures) because the sole point of ultrasounds is to judge a baby's health and development. Giving a doctor a photo of a baby that has been altered would not allow the doctor the ability to judge the baby's health accurately.

Oh now I understand. Thank you atomic..
I thought maybe it happened in my case coz I don't see those 3 lines in the pic which points girl nor anything boyish..

It's actually a lot harder than you might think to capture pictures on ultrasounds. They often just snap shots very quickly as you would do if you were busy at your own job during your work day - most of the time you'd just get a pic (or whatever your job entials) that was good enough and give it to the person!
We think the techs think about gender the way we do, but 99.9% of them don't care at all and are actually pretty annoyed with us when we ask a lot about it!

Thank you atomic. You explain everything so well...
I did see how quickly the sono snapped pics. She was so busy that she can't even think of editing a pic lol.. We are not supposed to ask the gender here, so they are only focused on seeing if the baby is healthy...
Hope all the guesses are right and it's my little girl...

Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
