I can't see it clearly enough to tell, but if the baby was all curled up, I wouldn't take it as certain, yet. If she is telling you it's a girl based solely on the absence of a visible penis...that's just not enough to go on, because the wrong angle could have you just not able to see it - and if the baby's all curled up, it's easy to get that "wrong angle." If you won't be having another ultrasound...you may just have to wait and see. I know that's hard, when you've been planning on knowing "who" the baby is from the anatomy scan on, but that does happen sometimes. If you can figure out a way to post the pic in the message body, it might be easier to tell.

Lysana replied to Violetrevolution's response:

Oh wow...I really can't tell. That doesn't even look like the baby's bottom to me! I'm sure it is, of course, LOL, but I just can't see it from that pic. It's not an angle I'm familiar with for figuring out the gender. I'm sorry I can't be more help.

that is hard to tell, it looks like little boy dingle berries if you ask me! Around were I live they put on Maternity fairs about every 6 months where they do free ultrasounds to see sex (that's all they look for so it's really quick) maybe look around to see if there is anything like that in your area. It might even be worth it to drive an hour to one if you have to! Good luck.
