my daughter is 19 weeks pregnant. when she
was 16 weeks preg a friend at a hospital
did her a favor and gave her a sono
because she couldn't wait 4 more weeks to
find out what she was having. They told
her it was a girl and gave her pics. on
one of the pics there is three little
stripes and they told her that makes it a
girl. THEN she started spotting on the
17th week and it scared her because she
lost her fist baby at 5 months, so she
went to the nearest hospital and they did
a sono and said the baby is doing good and
that it's a girl. she didn't get pics so i
didn't see those. then she went on the
19th week to her reg doctors appt. and
they did a sono and said IT'S A BOY! they
put it on dvd for her and the baby had
what kind of looked like a penis but no
three stripes. the dr. said he has never
been wrong. NOW with my daughters first
preg we looked at all kinds of books and
saw that baby's at around 6 to 10 or so
weeks boy or girl they both have what
looks like a penis and as they develope
the boy's stays and the girl's goes in. if
it was to early wouldn't the first 2 sonos
of come closer to saying it's a boy than
its a girl? NOW she had 3 sonos if there
were twins wouldn't they have already seen
two by now at 19 weeks?

While it is possible to not get the gender
correct on a sonogram. It is impossible to
miss a second baby. Especially with her
having repeated sonograms done. While I
can't tell you one way or the other if it
is a boy or a girl. I can tell you that it
is not twins.

They would have seen twins if it were
twins.
Sonograms are not always accurate in
reading the sex.
Congrats on your grandson.

you can not see a baby's external
genitalia at 10 weeks.
the baby is simply not far enough
developed.
The "groove" that may be visible at this
time is the urogenital groove (what will
become the urethra).

this is why some sonographers will not
tell the parents the sex because they can
never be 100%
