How To Determine The Sex Of A Baby?
A friend of mine is pregnant and she went to the doctors today find out the sex of the baby. only she didn t have the doctor tell her, she received a disk with the pictures on it and gave the disk to me. She is doing a gender reveal party. I am looking at the pictures now and I am confused. On one of the pictures labeled genitals it has an RT and an LT labled on the picture. Then a few Pictures down it is labeled Girl with a question mark. So does that mean she is having a girl? what does RT and LT stand for?

HI and thank you so much for this query.
I am sorry this is a very sensitive question that needs the correct answer and no guesses or interpretation of non conclusive findings.
From the information you have provided, i cannot make a call on what the sex of this baby is. RT and Lt may mean right testicle and left testicle, respectively. However, the question mark on the label girl makes it further confusing.
Please, the easiest thing is to talk t the doctor who did this ultrasound or upload the images for interpretation. But best to talk to the radiologist for the definitive answer. I am sorry for this mix up.
Hope you find this helpful. Please, feel free to use our services over and over again.
I wish your friend a safe pregnancy and delivery.
