When looking at gender of baby during U/S.....What did they look for when you asked? Was it 3 lines boy, 2 lines girl? There seems to be so many ways of telling, from what I have heard. Which would be the most accurate way of telling?
We were told the gender at the 20 week scan, but I am not convinced LOL!
Lets just say if it's a boy, we saw no lines at all, just huge balls. A girl is 3 lines though. They say it looks like a hamburger. LOL. I know on Tehya's scan it did.
If your still not 100% sure and want to be why not go for another scan later on in your pregnancy. I had a 4d scan done at 31 weeks with Tehya, even though we were very certain with the earlier ones.
Trish.....Now I am even more confused LMAO....We did find out but It doesnt match what you are saying....(without me giving away too much, as I want to keep the gender a suprise)
It be interesting to hear how others were told too!!
Sorry for confusing you hun.
No that's cool!!! Its quite funny he he. I was told 3 lines boy, 2 lines girl? We are happy either way, i just cant wait to find out LOL :D
Never heard about lines for a boy, we just couldn't miss the fact that Noah was a he ;)
I was shown the lines with Eleanor but never shown anything with Alexander.
Do you remember how many lines there were Michelle?
Hey Ally, I hadn't heard that about the lines. All I remember seeing (and it was very obvious to all) was the enormous pair of testicles so no mistaking it.
elly, thety dont say "lines" with boys...by 18 week u/s you can clearly see the testicles and penis.
with girls, some have been known to say 4 or 5 lines as well, including the labia and clitoris.
if you really want to know, you should get another scan :)
Because if its a boy, you would definitely have seen the "bits"! good luck
We were 3 lines for girl and I saw it every time (4 u/s) even though each time they still said they can't be 100% sure (don't know why not....) anyway, got the impression boys have no lines...
xo
With boys there is a clear shape of the penis and testes once it had been pointed out to you.
Our sonographer zoomed in on Calebs bits and let me guess and there was no denying what was there. I'd already seen 2 others on an u/s so I knew it was boy bits there.
A 4D u/s leaves absolutley no doubt. If they are able to do a combined scan ask them to check out the bits once you've seen your babys beautiful face.
I've got a pic of Calebs in 3D!
The only pregnancy I found out the gender was Violets, and the ultrasonographer pointed out two coffee beans. But i have seen lots of u/s pics that show lines for girls. Maybe you could have a look at the FF preg website. They have a u/s gallery and you can search for whatever you want.

Tanya what is the FF Preg Website? Can you post a link for it plz?
Don't think I am allowed to post links but if you go to Fertility friend and then in the menu on the left right down the bottom there is a link to the pregnancy site...
HTH's

Never heard of lines for boys either.
With DD we were shown the three lines and it was pretty clear she was a girl.
With DS we were shown what was very clearly a scrotum and penis :lol:
I was told 3 lines for a girl. *LOL* @ the 'coffee beans'....were they the ovaries?
i saw 3 lines with sophie - i knew it was a girl even before i got told......
thnx tanya
Wow thats wierd!!! We were shown 3 lines with DS. The sonographer said girl then...Evidently it was a boy! Its so confusing....I think it all comes down to the skill of the sonographer, and dont trust anything til baby is born!!!
I saw 3 lines (the labia) and have been told it's a girl
well you guys are much cleverer than me....we were told definitely a boy at both scans (12 and 19 weeks) and they said - see, here is the penis, but i couldnt see it for the life of me! mind you, at another point, i was looking at what i thought was the head and the guy told me it was actually the stomach. i could barely recognise what was baby and what was me! my visual spatial skills are obviously crap!
My 20 week ultrasound the sonographer was scanning the stomach and just moved the thing slightly and I saw the turtle shape and screamed out Oh look a turtle! It's a boy hun! The sonographer asked did you not want to know and I said yeah I want to know and she said that I was right it is a boy. I spent weeks studying ultrasound pics so that I would know what to look for. 'About' have a great test that you can do to test your ultrasound skills but you may have to do a google search for it maybe ultrasound gender test?
I just seen mine again today. On Thursday it was 60% girl with 3 faint lines showing. Today it jumped to 80% as they were more prominent.
It looked like 3 bright dashes/lines. Focused between the legs I think.
I have done the online test where you see various ultrasounds and guess the body part or gender. Lots of fun.
Google for a link to it
