The sonographer got a very clear shot today at 12 week scan. I know it's early (and I don't mind what gender either way) but she said she knew the gender of the baby from this picture.

Any guesses as to the gender please? ❤️❤️❤️

Thankyou, from one excited Mamma xx

Potty shot 🤢

absolutely revolting term to use for an unborn child.

if it’s “very clear” surely you know already?

Do you mean what is the sex of your baby OP? No idea.

Gender refers to the socially constructed roles, behaviors, expressions, and identities of girls, women, boys, men, and gender-diverse people. It is a broad sociocultural concept that influences how people perceive themselves and interact with others, differing from biological sex, which focuses strictly on physical and genetic traits.

No idea OP but congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳

I've no idea the sex of the baby as I'm not skilled like the sonographer is, nor am I familiar with scan pictures as some Mum's might be on here.

I'm just an excited Mum just looking for any guidance that people have had from previous scans please ❤️❤️❤️

I’m going for girl , but I don’t have a clue

MammaFit.. just ignore the 2 posts that are being mean. Potty shot has become an acceptable term.. meaning a shot taken as if looking up from inside the potty.. and whilst we know we are talking about sex (XX or XY) we all know what posters mean when they say gender! There's a Pendants Corner topic if people want to be pedantic .
Congratulations OP.. I'm not an expert but there's no sticky out bit so girl?
Here's obvious boy POTTY SHOT..

She is a girl 😁

Francine84 · 09/07/2026 16:03

As far as I understood the baby’s genitals don’t develop until week 14. So it’s very unlikely that anyone, even a sonographer, could tell you the sex of your baby from a 12-week scan.

Unless you’re talking about nub theory which is incredibly unreliable.

Starsnrainbows · 09/07/2026 17:24

Based on the pic and yes they call it a 'potty shot' I'd say you have a little girl there. Congratulations !

Thankyou for your reply ❤️

I'm not sure what I'm looking out for but I know other Mums know a lot about this ❤️
I'm glad you know 'potty shot' too as it was what the lady who scanned me called it ☺️ xx

Red is thigh bones..
Blue is the bottom
And pink or green is the genitals. Boys generally have a sticky out bit (the penis) and girls look 😉 more like a hamburger..(the labia)
But it's not always accurate as a poster up thread said.
This is a stock photo about 12weeks.

In ops defense she didn't exactly come up with that terminology it's commonly used so you're being a knob.

namechange62 · 09/07/2026 20:25

So this is your scan.
Red is your babies legs, blue is their back/bottom and pink is their genitals.

namechange62 · 09/07/2026 20:26

This is your scan

Looks like it could possibly be a girl

ThatMintMember · 10/07/2026 19:37

I didn't think potty shots were accurate that early. I'd be trying to use nub theory if you've got any other photos from the scan as the nub is only just recognisable at 12 weeks but it's usually from a side angle that you can see it.

I wouldn't assume it's a girl even though there's no boy parts showing yet.
