Ok have any of you heard of
hermaphrodites? It is when a baby is born
with both male and female genitalia. I
was watching a show at like 1 am on
discovery health called is it a boy or is
it a girl? Anyway they said it isnt as
rare as we all think. Theysaid it happens
in like 1 of every 2,000 babies born. The
screwed up thing is that it is neccessary
to due surgery while your infant is an
infant. But as they mature and develop,
how would we really know what they were?
Would they act like a male or female?
Isnt that scary??? There is also a 30
percent higher chance of your child being
a homosexual! Yesterday the ultra sound
tech said its a boy but come back on april
26th when im like 22 weeks to be sure.
They said the reason some mistake babies
as a boy is because the clit could look
like a penis becuase it is abnormally
large. I grabed my u/s pic of his pee pee
and was staring at asking everyone " r u
sure it looks like a boy?" lol it scared
the hell out of me! ~ erica.

Lol I couldn't help but laugh at your
description of staring at your son's penis
ultrasound!!!!! It's true its not as
uncommon as people think but the
likelyhood of it happening isnt that
great! And he does have a penis so thats
a good sign!!!!!

Lol I just had to give it a better look!
Just to be sure. The recpetionists told
me that the u/s tech is excellent at
determining gender and as soon as she put
that thing on my belly within like 2
minutes she said it looked like a boy.
Although I wanted a girl, I had this gut
feeling as well as my man that it was
going to be a boy. Im sure he is a he
though. ~ erica

Me and my hubby discussed that, and what
sex would we pick. He didn't even want
to think about it and just dismissed me.
It's a scary thought.

I worried about that all the time too
erica!! And I always thought she would
turn out to be a he. I was so freaked!
I had bought all kinds of girl stuff! I
think all pregnant women go through that
and doubt the accuracy of the
determination of their baby's sex.

I watched a programme about it where they
had to do surgery & the parents chose
what sex the babies would be.They often
made mistakes & the child would be
made into a boy but feel emotionally like
a girl and vice versa.The surgery was very
graphic but the condition is a rare
one-it's also very sad because these poor
children went through a lot of trauma
& confusion in their lives
