2 parallel white lines? Boy or girl??

[chubbychipmonk]

Had a scan yesterday (am 17 weeks) didnt get a 'through the legs' shot but really clear pictures of baby from side on (like you see in most scans). There were 2 very obvious parallel bright white lines = at the genital area. Any idea what they were or if that indicates boy or girl?

Girl? Wait! Could be a boy though. I'm definitely sure it's one or the other :o

Lol!! I know. . I'm driving myself insane over the whole boy/ girl thing when really its 50/50 either way!!

I have been shown two white lines on three scans so far this pg indicating..........girl!!!!! :)

Oh crap...or was it three?? There were definitely lines.

I thought it was three lines for a girl?

Not relevant for me - we clearly saw a willie!

OP, are you going to have a gender scan?

This is the issue. . I already have a boy so would love a gender scan to find out what this one is but hubby is dead set against it (to the point we fell out over it) he says it's the only real surprise in life blah blah blah! I couldnt go & find out myself without him knowing coz I'd end up letting it slip so we're not finding out. . But I am now literally driving myself insane trying to work it out!!

Yes girls are meant to look like burgers, so I'd say GIRL.

Am I not right in thinking though that you only get the burger image if it's taken from the 'potty shot' right between the legs. This image was side on. . . I already have a hot dog so would love a hamburger!

I had this - GIRL!!!

2 very obvious parallel bright white lines it sounds more like the umbilical cord, especially from the side view.

OP, remind your DH that it's still a surprise whether you find out now or at the birth!

Laura I've tried that! He's not budging!!

Our sonographer said 'there's 3 lines so I'd say that's a girl' in fact he checked twice and said the same thing :)

Is it always 3 lines for a girl or can you get 2???

I don't think you wield see it properly from the side, this indicating noting sorry
It is the potty shot that shows the girls " burger" (|) and yes always 3 lines, I don't think you'd be able to work anything out from the side

Why not pay for a sex scan on your own, not tell dh and if you refer he/she at times just say slip of the tongue or it feels like a ....

back2two is right they do call them burgers. They were correct with my DD!

Joint bank account . . Hubby would want to know where £100 disappeared to!!

When I was pg with my dd the sonographer showed me 3 white lines. Can you upload the picture for us to have a guess at?

Didn't get a picture. It was an unplanned scan due to a small bleed ( scary bit everything fine) . It was during the course of her scanning me that my eyes kept getting drawn to these 2 bright white parallel lines at genital area! But like I said it wasn't a potty shot it was side on

I think it sounds like the umbilical cord too.

When I was pregnant with DS I convinced myself that I'd seen he was a girl at the 20 week scan. But despite this I still 'felt' like I was having a boy and (obviously) I was right! I think unless you really understand what you're looking at it can be really hard to work it out xx

I saw unmistakable boy bits at my 20week scan with ds, I didn't want to find out the sex but it was so obviously a willy

With dd it was definitely 3 lines but I had asked to see so she had zoomed in and was really looking. I would guess you're having a girl based on my experiences, if they weren't really looking at that area I would imagine its easy to miss one of the lines but a willy will look like a willy!

I'm confused, does your DH not want to find out at the 20 week scan either?

If not you could get the sonographer to write the sex on a piece of paper for you to read later.
