Hi,
my wife had an amniocentesis performed around 16 weeks which showed our baby was XY, that is, a boy. When the amnio was performed, the doctor told us the baby was 95% a girl according to what she was seeing on the ultrasound. When we received the results of the amnio the doctor told us she wanted to see us again because she was very surprised it was a boy. We did another ultrasound at 18 weeks and she saw a scrotum and a penis, although 'smaller and wider' than usual. She said that usually at this stage the penis should be 'floating' around but here it was a bit curved instead. She told us maybe the baby had hypospadias where the urethra does not go all the way to the head of the penis. She also showed us 3 lines that did look like female genitalia. I'm so scared my baby will be born with a penis and a vagina now, I'm scared maybe he has hypospadias... She did say she could not confirm anything at this time though. Has anyone been in a similar situation?
Thanks!
H.

an ultrasound is not 100% accurate, so don't go panicking before you have to. Hypospadias is not a very bad thing to have wrong, some surgery early on will take care of it, they will probably use his foreskin to make it normal.
but don't skin the bear before you shoot him!

I am not familiar with your issue but I do understand the fear you feel while waiting for answers about your baby.
I will say a prayer for you and your little one.
I cant say i've been in that type of situation.
I would see what your doctor wants to do. Im sure they will do more ultrasounds. Just have faith that everything is going to be OK in the end.
Best of luck to you, your wife, and baby
Babies develop and change so quickly while in utero, things may appear perfectly normal at next scan. Say lots of prayers and don't worry until you have something definite to worry about. My thoughts are with you!
