Disappointed

I had an u/s last Thursday, really so they could measure my cervix, but because I was close to the time to do all the baby measuring and such they did that. Then they looked to see what the sex was. Well, I expected that she would look for a penis or no penis, and then she would show me and be like see there's the penis, but know I think she must of looked at the internal organs because all I saw on the screen was a gray mass of stuff, I had no clue what she was looking at. At first she said she thought it was a boy, after awhile of looking around though she said but wait this looks like a labia which means it's a girl, and she spent several minutes trying to figure out what it was and of course I'm sitting there thinking OMG my baby is a hermaphrodite, poor kid. Well, I don't know what she finally decided that labia looking thing was but she finally said nope it's a boy. That was it then she had me wipe my tummy off and did the vaginal u/s to measure my cervix. She also told me later that the only way I was going to find out for sure was if I had the amnio done and my hormones measured. I was a little disappointed because if it is a boy I wanted to you know see it's thing, because most other women get to. Like over the weekend I was watching the Insider and Tori Spelling was on, and they showed a clip from her u/s, and when they told her it was a boy they let her see, all I saw was gray blobs I was so jealous.
We also found out that I'm at high risk for premature labor because my cervix is short or small or however you wanna word it. So now I have to spend at least 3 hours a day off of my feet. Also, no exercising of any kind, no power walking, no heavy lifting, and no standing or walking for long periods of time.

That sucks!!! Where are you from? You may be able to get a 3d ultrasound and they can tell you for sure.. They told me with 100% accuracy that I am having a girl   showed me what all the lines meant and everything.. It seemed to me when you go to a 3d the people are nicer and talk to you more about the baby because that is their job.. Where the ones in the dr's offfice are more serious about the measurements and stuff.. I know my frist ultrasound when we should have been able to find out the sex the tech was really quiet and just took measurements he wasn't really even trying to find out the sex until the end for a min when I asked.. And he said nope the baby was crossing its legs that maybe I could go in again..
Good Luck!!

I live in Illinois, and my friend had a 3D one done actually she had a couple because the first 2 times her daughter was sleeping or turned the wrong way. I know I'm gonna have to pay out of pocket for one of those though, so it's going to depend on the price. My other thing is I really don't want to get my hopes up and then the baby's legs be crossed or something at the 3D u/s, oh well, I'm gonna check the prices and everything just cause I do kind of want one done anyway.
