HopingForSaskia's 12 week nub

[hopingforsaskia]

Hey guys... Here's the only shot I have of the nub. It's rather forked in the negatives I have, and this was the best I could do to get a pic of it. :)

I'm 12 weeks according to my dates but bub is measuring 12w 6d.

Be gentle. ;)

Leaning boy.

[Thorz300]

Slight boy lean but the spine is a little curled

[Nursee]

Slight boy lean.

[black&gold]

I'd say boy based on the angle - I'm not pro though so don't trust my opinion! Congrats on a healthy babe! xx

[Wanting-a-girl]

I would lean boy based n angle Cause it's def not parallel to the spine... Are you able to get any of the negs up? I think there is still hope for this to be a girl

[Maple]

Hi Hoping!

The spine does seem to have a slight curl, so that may distort the upwards angle? I am not an expert. I know your wanting pink, so I have my fingers crossed for you.

XX

[Jadis]

I'm just not sure, Hoping. I'm wishing you luck though.

[Bimby]

Im sitting on the fence with this one - hoping its a pink bundle for you :) Measuring 12+6 I would have thought it would be angled more??

[The Anchor]

Gosh tough one...guessing boy.

[Lassie1982]

I'm really 50/50 on this one.
It doesn't scream boy to me, so hoping and wishing and crossing everything for you that it's a girl xo

I'm leaning girl. Spine isn't straight and the nub has the shape of a girl nub. I think it would be angled up more if it were a boy.

[hopingforsaskia]

Are you able to get any of the negs up? I think there is still hope for this to be a girl

This is a pic I took of the negs.. I didn't get any hard copies unfortunately. :(

[hopingforsaskia]

... It was almost impossible to get a clear shot of the fork, but it's absolutely forked (very clear in the negs)

[love-my-kids]

im going with boy.

[Cinss]

Im thinking boy, but if the angle comes down it could totally be a girl.

[Rainbow baby]

I am leaning boy but only by a little bit!! I think it could go either way! Considering your dates is why I lean boy! See if you said 12 weeks I would say boy but 12+6 is nearly 13 and I can usually see more of a lean by 13 weeks than that I would guess girl! I am no expert though just my thoughts!

[secretly sad]

I'm thinking boy too

[AndreaOD]

Looks boy to be but it could be due to the curve in the spine, the shape of the nub looks girly, so it could go either way. Hope you hear pink at your next scan! fx

[wilma_five]

Boys and girls ca hae forked nubs.
Hard to be sure with this one. For a boy a would have expected a bigger angle at this stage, for a girl I would have expected it to be flatter at this stage.

I'm guessing it's a boy! But......a nub is not ever 100% and this one gives much room for error guessing so it really might just be a tricky girl. Maybe look at in-gender at the "confirmed girl nubs" and then you will find nubs just like yours.

[Lolly55]

Maybe boy (am new at guessing though) but I think it would be helpful if you had other pictures? Did you get a glimpse through the scan, if so was it generally sticking up? I think it's so hard to guess from one shot in isolation. I had a couple of shots that looked kinda angled but the majority of the time it was pretty flat.

I did see it during the scan and I was sure it was really flat.. But it wasn't a big look, more like a few glimpses. When I saw the pic I was a tiny bit surprised by the angle.. But I wasn't worried about getting more looks because I saw her take the screen shot of the nub! Bummer huh. ;)

[Lolly55]

See what lovemy4 says, she's the guru! Good luck.

[Mum23boys]

I think boy hunny . Congrats on a good scan and bubs being healthy. x

[Wanting-a-girl]

When is ur next scan? 19 weeks?

[NearlyDone]

blue guess x

[Babymozart]

Looks like a boy to me, but I am definitely an amateur!

[hopingforsaskia]

Next scan is 16 weeks. :)

[Wanting-a-girl]

O good so you won't have to wait too much longer! I really think it could go either way... Don't lose hope :)

[OneLastDream]

Good luck xx I am not sure but hope you hear pink - I know what it's like so do feel for you. X

[Mrs_P]

How sure of your dates are you? 6 days is a big difference at this stage, if it is nearly 13 weeks i would expect it to be more angled, if you are only 12 weeks it could be rising (although hopefully won't). All of my u/s with the kids have moved my dates forward and i've always been late delivering (but only a day or so out if they'd left my dates alone!). Point is i have been more accurate at dating at least two of my babes as i used ovulation digi sticks (there's no way they could be a week out unless you had a fake o first but then most girls on here watch their cycles for that long they know a fake o when they get one)

[luckylass]

I am no good at this so won't even guess but just wanted to say that I got a nub shot that looked like a perfect boy nub and I would have put money on it we were having a boy but after standard and 3d/4d scans on 4 different machines all have confirmed my little one is a girl. Your little one may well be too.

Sorry to butt in did you post your nub shot lucky, i would be interested to see them but don't remember you posting

This is a shot of the legs, bent up, feet at top left.. I've circled something in one of them that I'm curious about.. Anyone think it could be nub?

[lovemy4]

Tricky one! I could honestly see this going either way.

I'm pretty certain of my dates.

[Mrs_P]

can you put the full shot on so we can see it in relation to the babies body?

[hopingforsaskia]

That's the shot I have.. It's just of the legs. :)

[hopingforsaskia]

8573

... and I think this is a potty shot (legs straight up)

[hopingforsaskia]

I'd really appreciate more guesses.. Especially girl guesses... ;) hehe

[Sway&Wish]

I think it could be a girl - not sure that angle is 30 degrees. My understanding is that the studies classify angles < 10 degrees as girls, and > 30 degrees as boys. Anything in between is not classified at this stage :) fingers crossed for you.

[rainbowflower]

I think girl!

[Wantabelly]

I know you want to hear girl but I think its a lil Boy...... I will send all of my pink dust your way though in hopes you get what you want

[hopingforsaskia]

I appreciate all the guesses. You want to know something funny (read: stooopid..) I still have almost no doubt in my mind it's a girl.. Am I insane???

[suregena]

You're not insane! My husband was sure this bub was a girl from the word "I'm pregnant" and I was the one not convinced! He was right, though. Why don't they give you actual photos? And just negatives? I've never heard of that!

I say it can go either way.

[jark22]

I'm leaning boy- but hoping you get your little girl

[heidih1977]

don't know much at all about nubs...but I have everything crossed that it is your little girl!!!

[dloui128]

I'm 50/50, I think it would be angled up more if it was a boy

[hopingforsaskia]

In the actual hard copy (a big X-ray sheet...) I can see the spine starting to curl at the bottom -- can anyone tell from the pic I posted? I know I'm grasping at straws, but I don't for one second believe this is a boy. I tried to convince myself it is, for my mental health.. ;) but it hasn't worked, and this nub hasn't changed that gut feeling I have about this being a girl. I'm crazy for sure I think.. ;) hehe.

[hopingforsaskia]

Btw, thanks heaps for all the guesses! :) xx

[Mrs_P]

Some times moms know best, look at Violet she was sure hers was a girl and she was right, even with the best nub its never 100%. I am sure mine is a boy, have been from the word go, was sure ds3 was a boy to as soon as i pee'd on the ovulation stick i knew i was pregnant and he was a boy (he was a cut off). I let others convince me otherwise but i should have stuck to my guns!

I hope your right and you get your little girl

[Mrs_P]

ps are you going to find out?

[hopingforsaskia]

Didn't you get an amnio though babe? I guess that would feel conflicting! :hug2:

I will find out in another 3.5 weeks. Not long to wait, but anyway.. ;)

I don't know if it's wishful thinking, but I have almost no doubt in my mind. Sigh. Hope I'm right too.. :HH:

[wilma_five]

I was sure nr. 2 was a girl. Well......my mother instinct played tricks on me because he was all boy! After that one I never trusted my feelings with gender again.

[hopingforsaskia]

I'm sure I'm probably headed for a fall..

[mummypink]

I'm rubbish with nub guesses but really hope this is your little girl.

Try and be prepared just in case though, I was totally convinced I was having a girl this time. I'm even struggling to believe it isn't now and have hardly bought any new boys clothes (even though I could really do with a fair amount of stuff). I have another scan coming up where I'm hoping I can just accept it and get over my gd so I can enjoy my last pregnancy.

Lots of luck! xxx

I had a CVS test done so similar to an amnio but its not always right, they told me it is wrong for 2 out of every 100 moms as they can get the moms dna not the babes (so false result) so although they told me the gender as i asked its not guaranteed and i'm sure this babe is a boy (no idea why pregnancy is completely different but have just been sure from the beginning so never really believed its a girl, and the boys and everyone just refer to babe as a him to)

[Cinss]

I believe mothers intuition is real and if you are really in tune with it you can know. I knew DD was a girl from the get go, no shock when i was told her sex, and then with this one i just knew he was a boy, i kept having doubts but in my heart and soul i just knew it was a boy and it is. So i wouldn't be surprised at all if you indeed do have your girl and we are all wrong with our boy guesses from nub shot.

I was completely convinced that this one was my girl too. It was to the point that I was actually shocked when they pointed out the penis on the ultrasound. And then I spent weeks searching ultrasound photos because I figured the tech had to have made a mistake. I have since come to terms that I am having another little boy- and I'm actually really excited about it now! But it would have been much easier if I hadn't felt so sure that it was a girl. My mother's intuition is broken.....

[pebmcpd7]

I am thinking boy too, sorry hoping!!!! I am sure he will be loved!!!!

[fish2012]

hey you, i'm rubbish with these things, keeping all crossed that it's a bad pick and you hear pink at next scan.......3 boys thou princess among lovely princes!

[hopingforsaskia]

You're all so lovely. :)

Thanks for the honest guesses.. Even though I dislike them .. Hehe.

I am looking at the slight angle of the nub as being in line with the curl up of the spine, so I can write off the nub.. This is a dangerous game, but I can't help but play it. I know the risks, and I have tried hard not to allow myself to indulge in the thought that this is a girl. ....... I would honestly be SHOCKED to the core if this is a boy. I've never felt like this in all my pregnancies. Even though all I have ever wanted was a girl. Ahhh well. We'll see. :) I do believe that there's a difference between feeling something deeply and convincing yourself of something.

MrsP.. I hope your result was right, and that your intuition is wrong.. :(

Jark, you made me laugh. Maybe my intuition is broken too. ;)

[Sway&Wish]

I think if there is even a bit of a curl we aren't seeing, then the lines would be parallel.

Why not assume girl? if it is a boy, you will never get these few weeks back.

[hopingforsaskia]

Very good point... Hehe. Might as well revel in it while I can so that at least I know what it feels like to think I have a girl.. ;)

[hopingforsaskia]

A friend put this pic on IG an it's got 100% boy guesses so far........ :( this is not looking good.

[lisvna]

My husband thinks its a girl because of the curled spine and the nub not 30 degrees. :fingers:

[Kiesse]

Hunny, everything about my last pregnancy was different. It was the worst ever! Everything, the old wives tales, psychics, gender charts everything pointed to girl except a couple of my nub pics and the old wives tale about the line under my eye, they were the only two things that were right. Now fast forward and as you know, i have my special little man and couldnt be happier. So all the symptoms, oldwives tales etc i now do not believe! They are rubbish lol.
Whatever baby is, i know you will be over the moon and i cant wait to be able to get clucky over your photos!

I do know how in love you are.. I'm so very happy for you too. :) if my lo is like Liam I will be smitten too.... xx

[hopingforsaskia]

Anyone else -- who are the techs in here? I know lovemy4 is a pro, but is there any others that want to have a stab? ;)

[prettyinpink18]

My dd had a very similar looking nub. It was not completely flat and had a forked end. I think you still have hope for a girl. :)

[fish2012]

Hoping for good news in four weeks time! I booked my 16week gender scan today I might bypass the whole nub thing...... I'm convinced this a girl thou spect I might be disappointed! Xx

[hopingforsaskia]

Probably not a bad plan to skip the nub.. I totally didn't expect to get such a tricky one.. I figured it would be completely obvious one way or the other. Trust this baby to try and confuse me..... Hahah. Bet she's gonna be cheeky... ;)

[Wanting-a-girl]

I'm gonna skip the nub... I think I would obsess too much... I really think it could go either way for you so don't lose hope

[Adia]

Not a clue, I can't figure this u/s predicting to save my life!
But you have a sweet little baby in there! Makes my baby fever rage!
I'm praying you have a pinky in there!! Keep us posted!

[Tree]

It does look a bit boy but I'm no expert and as others, and you have said there is a curve in the end of the spine which if lined up would def be girl. I don't know how much curve is needed to impact the nub. Really really hope there is a little girl in there! But if not maybe you'll go for number four and be forever grateful you got an extra little person to love!

Hehe I used to think I could go for #4.. But I seriously don't think I can do another pregnancy... This is it for me. ;)

[wannagirl21]

Hi don't know if you remember me but we had similar sway's, we'll I got a bfp and due october 19th hope this is your girl. GL.

Huge congrats on your bfp! Hope we both get what we're after! ;) xx

[kaseybaby]

It looks like a boy nub to me, but I am not a pro at all. I am like you, I have a girl nub,but I am 100% convinced I am having another boy.

[lisvna]

When do you have your next scan? I'm really curious if you get want you hoped for and if my husband was right.....

[hopingforsaskia]

I'm going for a scan on March 1st. I can't wait...! :)

[lisvna]

Neither do I hihihihi

[lindi]

you know what? I'm going to say GIRL. It reminds me of my girl's nub shot where I got a few boys guesses. Here she was: http://genderdreaming.com/forum/ht-pregnancies-ht-baby-talk/4639-heres-my-almost-12-week-baby.html

[Wanting-a-girl]

14 more SLEEPS!!!! anticipation is killing me on this one lol cant wait for the update

i go for my 12 week on the 25th... I will only be 12 1 so i dont know if i want the nub...

GOOD LUCK!!!!!

[lisvna]

Me too can't wait t hear what it is!

[WantingPink]

This is a really tough one!! It doesn't look boy or girl to me. Could go either way. Can't wait for the update and I really hope you hear girl!!

[Wanting-a-girl]

I totally agree ^

[queen-bee]

I know you want a girl, hon, but my guess is a boy. It looks
very much like my ds3's nub, Same shape but slightly less angled.
I do hope though that in your case this nub theory is wrong.

[hopingforsaskia]

14 more SLEEPS!!!! anticipation is killing me on this one lol cant wait for the update

You guys are gorgeous!! I am wishing this next 2 weeks away..... Ugh! Feels like forever til I can CONFIRM (fxd!) what my gut is telling me. ;) I still strongly feel girl.... But time will tell. :)

[Falling2Grace]

This is a tough one. In one way i could see why this baby would be girl, but in another it looks boy. Im leaning boy. However, i can't say that i think that for certain. I hope you get your girl.

[hopingforsaskia]

Im seriously excited for you to get your scan.

I've only ever seen one neg us and that was from a friend over east ( NSW) but all the us i have ever seen was all proper pictures. Now I understand why I couldn't really see a thing and wondering why you only got one picture LOL!!!
Honestly I have left trying to guess nubs for months so I really can't guess.
However my gut says girl. Even before you got pregnant I guessed girl.

Im looking forward to next friday as if this was my own scan hahaha

You are so funny!!! I heart you... ;) you should fb me your phone number and I'll just text you when I do the announcement texts to my friends! ;)

It's funny you say your gut says girl.. I went into this pregnancy expecting it to be different in all the ways that make it a "girly" pregnancy. And so far it's been on par with what I've expected. Very strange... :) I hope we are both right.. Hehe xx

[Inky]

I'm going to have to disappoint you all! She couldn't tell. There was cord wrapped all over its nether bits, and then when we tried to get the cord away, it jammed its butt down deep in my pelvis... Wouldn't budge. Plus crossed its legs and refused to even give us a hint. I have never known a BOY to be so coy.. Maybe it's a sign.. ;) she did however say that there was nothing obviously boy that she could see. I'm so devastated that I have to wait 3 more weeks to know.......

:(

Major bummer for you! On the plus side, I've know 4 different people that this has happen to and they ALL had GIRLS!!! Best of luck to you:)

The two people I know this happened to (baby kept their legs closed) were also girls so maybe it is a good sign!! :fingers:

[kaseybaby]

Gah!!!!!!! I am hoping it is a sign and the next 3 weeks fly.

[LO123]

Oh no, bring on three weeks...

[Butterfly Spirit]

Well, my daughter gave the U/S tech a VERY hard time at 14 wk 4 days..but there was a nub shot.. but she couldn't get proper pics. That's why I had to go back a week later to confirm.
The OB said to me before he began the scan "it is in my experience that when the baby won't show it's parts, it usually indicates it's a girl"

I think it's your DD, but we'll have to wait to find out!

[wilma_five]

Well.......team green....for the next 3 weeks then but if she didn't see boy bits I have good hope!!

[Tree]

No way! How are you going to wait another 3 weeks!!?

[pebmcpd7]

3 weeks!!! Takes my mind off my wait though!! LOL

[Salsa]

OH NO!!!! You poor thing!! But I agree, boys wouldnt possibly be so cheeky??!! I think its a good sign!! Hope the next 3 weeks fly by, and will be looking forward to hearing about it after your anatomy scan!! x

[hopingforsaskia]

Thanks everyone. Sadly now I'm back to obsessing over the nub. I've done some fiddling, maybe you can tell me what you think.. hehehe

9311

The red writing says "curve in spine" .. I don't know why it's so small... hope you can make out what I've done! :)

[Butterfly Spirit]

So was today an elective scan? Why won't they do another one to confirm gender? :(

[hopingforsaskia]

So was today an elective scan? Why won't they do another one to confirm gender? :(

Yeah, it was in a private non diagnostic centre. They won't redo the scan because they don't actually recommend gender scanning prior to 18 weeks. If it had been the same situation but I was 18 weeks, they would have let me come back free of charge. Just one of those risks I took... :(

Those jerks. Mine was private too and they did a rescan.

[lisvna]

Go to an other clinic! Really I mean this! Here in Holland they can confirm gender at 14 weeks. So im pretty sure in an other clinic they can tell you and confirm gender at this stage if the baby want to hahahahaha .
Good luck!

[jark22]

That is a bummer! Did you have to pay for the private scan? If so then you should definitely get a rescan free of charge!

I'm not sure you drew your line in the right place. I've never seen a line drawn in the middle of the body- it's always on the bottom. I drew the line in green:

I know it sounds bogus, but yeah. Anyway. :)

The lines I drew were on the actual spine... Or at least I think it's the actual spine...?

[Adia]

AHH! I rushed home from work and logged on to see what you found out!!

I had an uncooperative baby at 18 weeks and it turned out to be DD2...

Since it takes more effort to really confirm girl, have to be sure their is no winky, I think you have a good chance of a girl!!

I'll have to put my stalking on hold!!!

[Thorz300]

I don't think the spine is where you drew the red line. I could be wrong but I think the green line more accurately shows where the spine is.......at least that's where I always assumed it was.

[Justjessica]

Oh nooooo! Can't believe it. Hope this is a good sign and you hear pink next time!

[fish2012]

Oh no that is so annoying

[Sway&Wish]

so unlucky!

Most new studies draw the line starting at the base of the neck.

[WantingPink]

Well that is a bummer they won't redo it. I am going in for a 15 week scan tomorrow (elective) and I asked if I would get a redo if I don't see gender and they said YES!! The first type of scan they offer is "gender determination" at 15 weeks. Sorry you don't get a redo. Will be waiting for your update!!

[Mrs_P]

Turned in for an update and we're still guessing - come on baby!

Hope its not going to be as awkward as mine -i've had two scans a week and a bit apart with babe in different positions and both times the tech said (different one) baby has its legs closed but if i had to guess i'd say girl - typical - i'd been dreaming of hearing its a girl at my scan for 8 years and i've still not experienced that moment! - fingers crossed you do

I'm not sure either line is in the right place and its tricky if baby is curled up but the green line looks more in the right place to me but hopefully love my four will chirp in and tell you for sure

[hopingforsaskia]

Thanks peeps ;) Where I drew the line there are actual vertebrae. Maybe baby isn't completely on it's back, I'm not sure, but yeah, the reason I drew the lines there is because when I have it blown up on my computer screen I can see the spine clearly. I don't know though -- I'm certainly not an US expert.

I really hope that at 19 weeks my scan is conclusive and I no longer have to ponder the question. I'm sick of trying to guess and wonder what it is I'm going to have to deal with this time around. :( I won't tell you all what date or time it is so that I don't have a big build up and let down if baby is difficult again! ;)

Hopingforsaska the sonographer sounded very unhelpful, but if they cant tell they cant tell. With my DS1 they didn't want to confirm the gender at 20wks. Useless.

WantingPink good luck tomorrow and don't forget to update us! :fx:

Monumental bummer, Hoping. Here's hoping the time flies until your next scan. The wait is just torture! Can't wait for your update!

[Falling2Grace]

So sorry you still dont know HUGS.
hope you find out for sure at your 20 week one.

& good idea not telling us. Im sure that will help, less pressure.

[Falling2Grace]

did you get any pictures at this most recent u/s?

[hopingforsaskia]

did you get any pictures at this most recent u/s?

Sadly no. There was no shots at all without cord tangled through it's legs. If only I had the DVD that she'd made... :o

[Inky]

My tech told me it's always the girls that have been shy, that she's only seen 1 shy boy before and it was because his hand was down there, the really shy ones (legs squeezed shut) have always been girls in her experience.

[love-my-kids]

when is your next scan?

[Wanting-a-girl]

Should be sometime this week... She said three more weeks after her last scan . This babe better show it's bits!

[CherryBlossom]

From memory all the babies that have been shy or real little 'buggers' they have all been girls!!! So here's hoping!!!
Bring on the U/S. wish our country were like the others. It's so hard to find a place that will do early predictions!!!
I found a place that will do a scan at 16 weeks however was told they will not guess the sex of the baby at all!!!
Thought us Aussies were meant to be more 'chiller' than that ugh.
Not long to go now babes!!!!

[Butterfly Spirit]

Here's hoping we hear an update soon!!!!!

My scan is first thing Saturday 23rd, and it's Monday here. So 5 full days and one sleep and it'll be my turn. I hope. ;)

Cant wait!

Have my fingers and toes crossed for you

I have everything crossed for you as well :fx:

[Tree]

I so hope you get your girl, you really deserve her!! And remember even if it is a boy - as soon as he arrives you'll think 'I wouldn't trade you for the world'. Things sound positive on the girl front though. Keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you!

OMG you look amazing I cannot believe this is your 3rd!

[fish2012]

Ahhh my bump is bigger than that already ;-0

good luck chick hope it's a pinky in there

[hopingforsaskia]

OMG you look amazing I cannot believe this is your 3rd!

It's doing my head in (you know, with the old wives tales and stuff about carrying girls and boys differently) because I was ENORMOUS with both of my boys well and truly before this point in their pregnancies! To add insult to injury (if this is a boy) my mum carried me like I'm carrying this baby and my brother the same way I carried my boys......... Saturday cannot come soon enough! ;)

[Sway&Wish]

Good luck. Still think it is a girl with a tricky nub!

[luckylass]

Hoping and praying for pink for you on Saturday.

[Falling2Grace]

You look great!

[Tree]

Ah beautiful beautiful lovely tidy bump. Wishing you so much luck for this weekend. X

[Inky]

good luck this weekend! I hope you hear pink!

[meeks32]

I have absolutely nothing of use to add since I don't understand nub shots, but your sway was about as perfect as they get and if that's a boy there is nothing you could do differently, its just fate.

I think it's a girl though. Just from your sway, I think it's a girl.

Stalking this! When is the gender scan?

[meeks32]

Thank you all for the love!! I thought I'd post a belly shot for you all to keep you entertained while you wait for my scan in 3 days...! ;)

Why I think this could be a boy: the fork is almost like a bulb shaped thingie and the angle is defo an angle

Why I think this could be a girl: you know, everyone says potty shots at 12 weeks are no good...but ahhhh...big gigantic turtles have a way of being very obvious. I only had a nuchal scan with DS3 and DS4 and forget the nub...that turtle thing was so SCREAMING OBVIOUS, it was a no-brainer. This was my experience.

Also, at your 16 week scan, you just would think you would of seen something boyish.

Not to sound old-wives-tale-ish, but your bump is amazingly small...girl, I am 10 weeks and mine is way bigger and rounder like a basketball and its a little disconcerting to be honest! I think I have Shaq ONeill in there, seriously! And there just may be something to that girls you eat less and then are just not as large Marge as we can be with the little fellows.

This will be interesting to see, GL at your scan!!

:) thanks lovely. I know this pic it looks like that fork is bulby, but in the negatives it is really really not. It's just blurred a bit. And yeah, if it were up to the old wives I'd be sure I was having a girl. So so so many reasons. I might be grasping at straws there, but I guess it will all be clear very soon....... Please baby, play ball!! :)

Oh and scan is 23rd at 9am. I'll update a few hours after that though.. I'm going to have a mini coffee date with my man and the bump. Kid free!! ;)

[meeks32]

Oh god I'm crossing everything for you. Good luck! They don't do the gender part til right at the end, it's torture! Did you have a gender scan at 16weeks or just waited for this? I think I'll pay for one next time! But I don't know anyone in Aus that's done that. Not sure if its a thing here.

I hope your right about seeing something obvious at 16 weeks cause I had an u/s and baby measured 16 weeks the legs were close together but no boy parts but she wouldn't guess...


How many hours till ur scan?

Remember my nub shot looked so much like yours, and it was a girl. I am convinced you've got your girl!

[hopingforsaskia]

i can't believe that! Of all the times not to cooperate! Did they give you a 'feel' for gender?

Nope!! She said she couldn't see any boy bits but that they can't guess based on missing evidence .. The cord was literally wrapped around the genitals and the butt was down deep in my pelvis. She kept looking from the top to see anything sticking out, and all we could see was cord. I'm so nervous now...... :nails:

[hopingforsaskia]

How many hours till ur scan?

About 23.5!!! :)

[hopingforsaskia]

Remember my nub shot looked so much like yours, and it was a girl. I am convinced you've got your girl!

I just went and found your nub pic.. Wow yes! Similar indeed! Just goes to show that if you don't get the perfect shot of it, it may not be a terribly accurate view! Thank you... Really... :HH:

Goodluck Praying hope you hear girl. I know exactly what it's like to be nervously waiting. Hope the next 24 hours go by very fast indeed.
