Re scan done - want opinions :)

Hi,
I'm just wanting to get some opinions on my experience and if anyone else has gone through it before. Basically I had my 20 week scan last week and due to the baby being stuck in pelvis with legs closed the potty shot was not shown, I was however told there are 3 lines so it's a girl. Today I had a re-scan and to no surprise same thing happened, everything seemed fuzzy and the sonographer said can't get a clear view as legs are closed but I think it's a girl too. I don't know why but I'm still not convinced. Have any of you encountered this before? Has it turned out to be the assumed gender or not? Thank you. BTW I've attached pictures from today's scan not sure if they're helpful;L

I work looking at scans all the time. The position your baby was in would have made it difficult to say for sure what their sex is, they have guessed girl but would have said to you they couldn't have been 100 percent. Three lines usually indicates a girl but it's not unknown for girls to be boys (ive known it twice at births I've been a part of). People will tell you what they think it is but it is just guess work unless baby clearly shows you their genitals. Your only options are to get a private gender scan or the nipt but check if they do gender as the private nipt we do doesn't reveal the sex.

What does it matter what it is @Fizzymomlife? Honestly, you’ll find out when it’s born, just get some unisex baby grows and then pop into Tesco or somewhere after it’s born and enjoy picking out bits. I know you’ll say you want to prepare etc but it’s really all the same.

Aww I ask myself the same thing lol at the end of the day it'll be a boy or girl but since I'm so uncertain this time and nothing is clarified like last time I think I'm just getting more and more curious.

I instantly felt boy from the first pic too, though I have no track record for correct/incorrect guesses 😅

If you can afford it you could pay privately to do non invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), it uses maternal blood to work out gender of baby by checking for y chromosomes present in maternal blood.

It's a lot of money tbh and I don't have a job at the moment.

How are we meant to see the potty shot if you’ve put up pics of the head? I think you’ve worded your thread pretty badly and people are confused. For what it’s worth I’m completely useless at potty shots, I’ve got excellent line eyes, and though sometimes I’ll look at a baby scan and genuinely don’t get an inkling what it is so will tell the parents so, I’ve managed to correctly predict the sex of every baby scan I’ve seen and had a feeling about Barr one. I’d say yours is a boy. Please let me know if I can continue my almost unbeaten record!

Oh no I’ve zoomed in and what I thought was a body part is actually fuzzy. Can you post the 12 week scan?

I forgot to add this image of the scan. Clueless about what part it is? Anyone know?

The 3 lines referred to are the genitals. You can't tell sex from a picture of the head

Crispynoodle · 15/02/2025 00:55

So the three lines mentioned often resemble burger baps which usually indicate a girl. The sonographer is very unlikely to tell you the sex unless they're absolutely sure

JobHuntingMum · 15/02/2025 00:03

OP did you know you've posted identifying information on your scan photos? Just thought I'd say in case you want to get them taken down!

If it helps I had two 20.week scans, found out at the second it was a girl. I then had a 28 week growth scan and panicked a bit as I'd given away a load of boys clothes. She said yes definitely a girl and it's not that common to be told the wrong gender. Not born yet so can't confirm 100%.

You can always book a private scan if you want to double check? If you have a spare 50 quid.

Thanks yep for my peace of mind I might have to just book myself in for a private scan.

It's not letting me post the pictures from the previous scan keeps saying sensitive image
