Had An Ultrasound, Found Out The Gender Of The Baby. Can It Be Confirmed Again?

Many thanks
thanks for the query.
you didn't mention what is the gestational age,
anyhow just by one or two pictures it is difficult to say the sex of the baby.
with first picture it can be said that,
the skull development of the baby is good,
mouth opening is present,
there is no abdominal wall anomaly.
with second picture it can be said that,
there is no deformity in limb development,
umbilical cord is having three blood vessels, which is normal,
the part which you are thinking may be cut section view of one of the lower limb, as I told with one picture in one direction we cannot judge the gender.
so if discloser of gender is allowed in your country you can ask your doctor who performed the scan, she can tell you correctly.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer your follow up queries. If you are satisfied with all my answer, please rate the answer after closing the discussion.
take care.


I don't understand what you mean by the skull development as picture 1 resembles two legs and what looks like male genitals
Picture 2 seems to be the left leg with the right tucked behind and again an image of what appears to be a penis directly between the legs?
I have checked the photos that I have sent you an they are the correct ones I chose to send so I am actually more confused now.
in your first picture:
- baby is lifting both lower limbs flexed at the level of knees, but the structure you are telling is not appearing exactly in the middle,
for example,
You can see the pictures in this link: WWW.WWWW.WW Where genitalia is present clearly in between the limbs.
-and behind the right leg you can see blurred image resembling facial profile.
in second picture the left leg is not appearing completely means it is appearing as flexed, if sound waves passed when baby is moving the limbs it could be tibial cross section.
I don't meant to disappoint you, your findings may also be correct but what I want to tell is as testes will not descent in to scrotum in 70% of cases by 25 weeks, there is possibility of misinterpreting other structures as genitalia.
you can clarify with your doctor.
Wish you Good Health, If you are satisfied with my response please rate the answer after closing the discussion.
take care.
