Confusing Potty Shot

Hi all. I’m currently 18+5 and had a gender scan at exactly 15 weeks. I was told that the baby is a girl, and without second thought spent a fortune preparing for a girl.

I’m now so worried that it’s actually a boy? Can someone please bring me back to reality. I suffer with ridiculous anxiety and have spent the last 3 hours staring at this potty shot.

I have my 20 week scan on Monday, but I just need some reassurance or opinions for now!

100%, mine was titled “ Gender Scan “, too. I am really shocked at how this has been twisted, especially in regards to the parts between an unborn little persons legs.

my mind is baffled at the fact that people want to put transgender and baby in the same sentence.

I have nothing against it, one of my close friends is male but identifies as female, however my child will be born male or female and therefore will be referred to as such whether these people like it or not!😊

OP my partner is a trans man and we are both sitting here perplexed why any one is attacking you. Your baby will be male or female and likely not be trans given how low the percentages are.

People are being ridiculous on here.

congratulations on your baby girl!

its absolutely bizarre!
one of my good friends is trans, heck - my best friend is gay!

I’ve no idea why people have chosen to attack this post, and argue every single thing that I say. Trans babies, gender stereotyping, pedophilia - it’s absolutely shocking!!!

i only made my account today, but had heard previously that there was an abundance of bullies on here, that wasn’t wrong!

Thank you!🩷

Pretty sure girl. My son was very obvious at 20 weeks.

Potty shot.

yuck, do people in the UK actually say this?! Revolting.

I've never heard this in my life. I assumed that it was an Americanism.

You are totally derailing the thread with information which is irrelevant to the ops query . There are several several posts already highlighting that the term “gender “ is incorrect so everyone on this thread has already been told. That’s what I find boring. Start your own thread about gender if you are so passionate about it .

Pinkbirds · 13/03/2025 19:48

I’m sorry OP what an awful thread for no reason.

i actually think MN is an awful place and I rarely come on here but I thought at least the pregnancy forum would be nice and supportive.

TinkerbellStarbright · 13/03/2025 21:31

This thread is AWFUL! Here’s a pregnant mum to be excited for her new baby and as usual it’s a pile on. OP it’s best to completely blank the snarky replies, don’t give them any response and they’ll give up and go away.
this looked like my girl’s scans and she is definitely a girl!
congrats on your pregnancy and don’t let anyone take away any of your joy.

Pinkelephant66 · 13/03/2025 21:36

Sex and gender are often used interchangeably. So what?

I’ve also heard of the term potty shot. So what?

the internet can be an awful place sometimes. Have people forgotten there is an actual woman sitting behind a screen reading all this abuse? It’s shameful.

no idea if it’s a boy or girl though! Sorry!

MelainesLaugh · 14/03/2025 10:35

Jeez I feel sorry for the OP. What a horrible derailed thread.

congratulations OP on your pregnancy

And herein lies the issue.

it’s not “so what?”

if I go to the doctor saying I have a broken leg but mean my arm, it has consequences.

when women (sex) say they are men (gender) they don’t get called for smears and can die. When men (sex) say they are women (gender), it risks women (sex)’s safety.

if your “so what?” extends to people not getting the right medical care and women and girls being run out of sports and losing the safety of female only spaces, then I’m not sure what else to say to you.

Wow. How have you jumped to that conclusion. I don’t believe people ‘feel’ that they are a different gender to how they are born. You’re either male or female. I don’t give a shite about gender.

What on earth has this got to do with what’s between the legs of my unborn baby?

take your pissing debate off of my thread & make your own post seen as you’re so passionate on this topic.

100% agree.
really getting irritated that this troll keeps repeating their argument on a post regarding MY unborn baby who’s GENDER was confirmed female at a GENDER scan.

SHE is a GIRL and therefore I will dress HER in DRESSES, BOWS & PINK even though this means I am “ stereotyping genders “. Absolutely ridiculous, this was the same person that stated all of these things are the start of the issues.

Pmsl, I’ll just dress my first and only baby in GENDER neutral clothes to satisfy these insane people.

its absolutely disgusting and bloody rude.

Can anyone help me understand my 16 week scan? Says boy but there’s 3 very obvious lines and I’m second guessing it

It def looks like a boy to me, yes there is 3 lines, but there often is on boy parts, the length to me seems like a penis. Congratulations x
