Dr says its a boy?

Question

Question 1: We're trying not to get our hopes up because it was difficult with the ultrasound. The baby has the cord in between the legs. The dr stated that the child had more tissue near in between the legs, so he's assuming its a little boy. Does anyone know what he means by *extra tissue*? Is he referring to penis, balls, fluid in the balls or what? He also stated that little girls DO NOT have this. So for now, we're going with a boy.

Question 2: Toward the beginning of pregnancy, it was very disappointing since I wasn't gaining any weight. I kept eating, taking vitamins, and all that. All what the dr told me to do. I'm 5 months (20 weeks as of Sept 12) and the last appointment I gained 2 lbs. Within 20 weeks of pregnancy, I've only gained 2 lbs! My stomach is flat, doesn't puff out or look like a watermelon (like my sisters did with two girls), so did any of you have a flat effect when having your little boy? No stomach sticking out or little sticking out? Is this just generally a stated give away its a boy like the dr is saying?

Answer 1

Yes, the extra tissue is the baby's genitals, we would assume. But since the cord's between the legs--you just can't predict with accuracy.

I had a friend who, at 5 months pregnant, wore a cat suit to a Halloween party, and no one knew she was pregnant. Some people show early and some don't. Don't worry about the weight. You'll start gaining in the weeks to come, and you'll be able to fit in your regular clothes with minimal time, too. I envy you.

Best wishes for your family!

Answer 3

everypregnancy is different, and as long as the doctor says you and the baby are ok, i wouldnt stress too much about the weight gain. if this is your first baby, you wont always show quickly. every woman carries their babies differently. i had aboy the first time around and with this one im carrying the same way and we think its a girl! i would ask for another ultrasound later on to try and get a better look.
