Hello ladies 💖

so I went for a gender scan at 17 weeks. But a lot of people are saying they can’t see anything to make out a gender. I was wondering if anyone can see anything at all ? And if so what would think the gender is ?

by all means I am happy with any gender as I have waited 10 years to have a miracle baby it’s just been wracking my brain lol. Thank you to anyone who takes the time to look at this post it’s really appreciated 💖

I thought you had a scan to determine the biological sex?
isn’t gender something you decide you are later?
massive congrats by the way!

sex is only assigned at birth according to some...

It's really petty when people call out an OP on the use of the word sex or gender when it's about whether they're having a boy or a girl

Shellay · 06/07/2023 17:49

@bitnervousaboutthis I agree with you , I never thought I would be pin pointed out on that. By all means I'm not here to offend anyone. Just thought there was nice people on here to help me ( I'm new here ) lol x

Exactly. It's becoming very tedious now.
Congratulations OP!

@Moomoola jesus, don’t be a dick.

Lucycmp · 06/07/2023 18:05

Yeah I've reported all them people saying strange comments!!!

PickledScrump · 06/07/2023 19:55

everytime gender is used people always make the same comments. The scans are usually called gender scans, people just like to whinge.

Anyway that looks like a girl to me

You didn’t post about the gender of your baby though, you posted about their sex 🙈🙈. People point it out because the distinction matters.

Congrats on your baby girl OP 🫶🏻

bitnervousaboutthis · 06/07/2023 20:31

@Skinthin the distinction does not matter in this context

ReadtheReviews · 06/07/2023 20:37

Sigh, gender used to mean sex, it was the 'polite' form. Now we've had to suddenly separate them because some people were being silly. We all knew what you meant op. And huge congrats!!!

In this context Gender/sex are the same thing for a mother asking about her unborn baby. You know what they’re talking about. It doesn’t even need questioning 🫠

Agreed. And it happens so often.
