can someone help me tell what his/her gender is? My wife had an ultrasound but there was no official reading of the sonographer. My younger brother (an xray tech) took this ultrasound and he can’t tell if its a boy or a girl. Anyone help me please!

This is really not a shot where you can tell. Plus, more information is necessary – I’m guessing that since the ultrasound tech was unwilling to make a guess, your wife is around 12 weeks. Some people believe you can make a guess at that point based on the “nub theory,” but realistically you cannot find out until around 20 weeks. I’m thinking your best bet is to just be patient for a couple more months.

My wife is on her 20th week already. 5months pregnant. the ultrasound shows left leg and the Right knee. so at the center must be her genitals.
The ultrasound tech is my brother, he guessed its a girl. but he is really not sure about it since he is unexperienced in reading ultrasound results. he’s an xray tech.

Is your wife not going to have the scan at her OB? I’m certainly no expert but I don’t think this pic is the correct view to determine gender.

yeah i think this is not the right view too. but i think the 1st photo is. We had our check up last thursday but we missed our OB appoinment and she went on an emergency leave. So i asked my brother -not an expert- to scan her. :)<br />Anyway, does the 1st photo helps??

You really need to ask your doctor, but as a previous poster mentioned, that’s right where the umbilical cord is.

Why didn’t the sonographer tell you the gender? Are you in an area where it’s illegal to reveal the sex at an ultrasound?

KatieBklyn: nope, not illegal. The one who did the ultrasound was not a sonographer. he was my brother that has the machine in his office. but he does not know how to read it.
