Hi to all mums! Smile

I am writing to you from Italy, I'm Paola and I am in my 15th week of pregnancy. Today I had ultrasound and I was anxious to know if I am expecting a boy or a girl. Razz

The doctor told me and my husband that probably is a girl because she couldn't see any appendix that could make think otherwise. But coming home we saw some still images that we took of the baby and we doubt that it could be also a boy. Shocked

Here are the images:

Thanks to all of you that can givr me an advice and hope to talk to you soon! Laughing

I think that it is a girl from the first pic. If it was a boy you would see he little thingy sticking up, but to me it looks like the lips of the vagina. (sorry if that is too graphic) That is what my aunt's ultrasound pic looked like and she had a girl.

Anyways congrats on your beautiful baby. Keep us posted and let us know what you have!!

In those pictures, it is really hard to tell. My doctor told me that girls look like they have little "hot dog buns" and boys look like "turtles."

It def looks like a hamburger...lol. 2 buns and the meat in the middle.

I'd say GIRL. SO don't get your hopes up for a boy!!

But it's still to early to say FOR SURE...ya know?
