I know this has probably been answered somewhere, but I was wondering if clear girl nubs can end up being boys? My nub is pretty girlie it was long and flat through the scan and nothing between the legs - I got a couple of good potty shots but I know unreliable at this stage. I was 12+5. I have just been on-line looking for chances of this happening but can't find definitive answers. Anyone experienced this or can shed any light? What are the chances I will hear boy at my 20 week scan? I was on-line last night looking at baby girl clothes and then thought I shouldn't get my hopes up!! This waiting is really hard. Some days I dont even think about it and other days it seems all consuming.

Thanks for listening.

DS3 had a flat girl nub, tech said girl, so did on line forum with techs !!! His a boy!! Its fine with me though! I wouldn't buy any cloths and wait for the 20 week scan <3 A girl nub is a better starting point then a boy nub!!! Hope you hear Girl!!

Rainbow baby that scares me! Even the tech guessed girl? What a roller-coaster for you. Was your scan at 12 weeks or later? Was the nub forked?
I guess I have to hope that I am in the majority that this doesn't happen to but another boy would be just as welcome (I just love 'em!) it's just your hopes get raised for a daughter when you see such a girlie nub.

Lolly55 Im exactly in the same boat as you! My 12 week scan looks very girly got 100% girl guesses, they say its classic girl nub, its so hard not to give up hopes just yet! Nubsessing nearly every day, just cant help it lol I have seen a few very girly looking nub confirmed boy, so it can happen but very rare! Lets just hope that we are not the rare ones! :) This waiting is just so frustrating and long. My next scan is 27th Feb. Ill be 19 weeks, another long 4 weeks! When is your next scan?

Andrea OD my scan is not until 11 March! I feel for you, it's torture - I think it would be better not to have the hope sometimes. I have looked through my scan vid so many times and can't see anything that would indicate boy but intellectually I know that 12.5 weeks is just so early and anything can happen. I hope you hear girl and that I follow suit after that. Just have to keep thinking the odds are def in our favour for pink :)

After 12 in half weeks you don't see too many opposites, but yes, they do happen.

I wish I knew the odds too by looks like nub opposites are less common the closer to 13 weeks you are.
