An expectant mother was left mortified after discovering her unborn baby appeared to resemble a penis in her scan photo.
Jade Heapes, 28 from Welling in Kent, was horrified when she realised that her 16-week baby scan emerged to be phallic shaped.
The mother-of-one, who is expecting her second child, says she did not realise her unborn baby looked like a giant penis until she left the private clinic.
At the scan, the ambulance controller was told that her baby was likely to be a baby girl, but after asking other expectant mum’s on a Facebook group for confirmation, she was inundated with comments about the shape of her baby.
After numerous comments stating that her baby scan ‘looked like a penis’ she finally saw the humour in her scan.

Jade, an ambulance controller, said: ‘I didn’t notice that my scan looked like a penis until it was pointed out to me online.
‘And as soon as my partner saw the photograph of the scan he kept asking me, ‘are you sure it’s a girl?’
‘But I really didn’t see it until everyone started finding it funny and telling me I had a giant penis baby – it was such a shock to me as I’d not noticed.
‘I was just posting the photograph in the advice group to genuinely see what people thought, and whether they thought it was a boy or a girl.

‘But then I was flooded with comments of people saying that they couldn’t help think that my baby looked like a penis – it was shocking!’
Despite being told at her 16-week scan, Jade, who is now 19-weeks pregnant, is set to find out the definite gender of her baby next week.
Speaking about the sex of her unborn child, Jade said: ‘I thought we would be having a boy, because I already have a daughter and my pregnancies have been completely different.

‘So when I saw the photo of the scan, and the nurse told me it was a girl, I was very surprised.’
But not everyone agrees with the nurse’s theory, with Jade adding: ‘Everyone on the Facebook group, and even my own partner, told me there was no way it was a girl, I was just even more confused.
And the expectant mother is looking forward to finding out the baby’s gender, adding: ‘I’m excited to find out next week if it is a girl, or whether it is a boy like we all assume.’
