Sonographer dropping a hint at scan today?!

Hi ladies, we had our 20 week scan today and made it clear to the sonographer we do NOT want to find out the gender - so want a surprise. At the end, she handed our sweet scan pic and said "and I've made sure you can't tell what it is on these pics". To me, that feels an untactful hint that it's a boy, not that we'd mind of course, but we so wanted a surprise and no hints! I suppose I think this as you wouldn't be able to tell it's a girl from the scan picture. Saying that, perhaps it wouldn't be possible to see boy bits on there anyway - am I overthinking this??! Was she just being kind and reassuring or has she dropped a MASSIVE hint?

Why would she be invested enough to drop a “massive hint”??
She literally does this all day long, she couldn’t care less what you’re having 😬

But it will be the same ‘surprise’ whenever you find out, whether at a scan or at the birth, surely?

Completely agree. I really don’t understand this need to be ‘surprised’. It’s a boy or girl.

And even if someone doesn’t want to know (fine) stop making such a big deal about it.

Overthinking it - you can tell if it’s a girl just as easily if it’s a boy with the right angle on the scan pictures. Sounds like they have taken another angle for you to obscure the view.
