Gender clues at 11,4 weeks? Update: It's a...!

[Dana-Alicia]

Not my u/s, but my sisters. I know it's a little early and the baby doesn't seem to be straight for a good nub shot. I did see a flat forked nub during the u/s and I think the skull looks girly as well. We will know in one week, but in the meantime would love your guesses! 14934

That gestation is just too early for any kind of accurate guess!

[Dana-Alicia]

Yeah I know. She was 12 weeks at the time, baby just measured a bit smaller. But guess we have to be patient a little longer :) Any skull theories though? Boy or girl skull shape?

[Dana-Alicia]

No guesses?

Had the exactly same kind of picture whenj had my 10 week scan and at the time I was in denial as I feared it was a clear upward boy nub....turns out I was right. So I would lean very strong boy. No mistaking it....the say you cannot tell at that gestation but with some children you just can theirs is upright quite early on....

Don't want to sound insensitive......just trying to be honest but if I see a scan like this again this time round I will be convinced it's another boy for myself.....hope I am wrong if that is not what you preference is..:)

Yes, I also think this pic the nub looks boyish, no def after seeing your nubpic. i wish I could post the video, it shows a clear flat forked nub. But after seeing this pic I started to doubt. It's too early, I know, but it's fun nubsessing, especially since it's not my baby and I don't really have a preference for my first niece of nephew. I do have a strong girl feeling from the start and after her lifestyle/diet a boy seems almost impossible. But who knows! Will def post once we know the gender, so thanks!

I just want to chime in here and say it really IS impossible to tell at this stage because babies follow a timeline of development that is based on certain things developing at a certain pace and in a particular order due to instructions from the genome that control cell growth and hormones. It's tightly ordered because if it wasn't, if babies just grew whatever, whenever, then they'd grow parts in the wrong place or a baby would have something growing out of all proportion to its body (like a fully grown willy on a tiny baby). Genetic differences in sizes don't happen at this gestation, it's only once all the bits are made that the variation creeps in.

Yes, there are people whose baby looks like it has a peeper at a very early stage and turn out to be boys, there are others who look like they have VJ's who turn out to be girls, and then there are opposites going both ways. it's just that people only remember the ones that are right, KWIM??

That's true but something in me just sank when I had my very first uktrasound because I had a very very simila r pregnancy to my girl than compared to my boys. If you go back on my thread and see my earlier one I had very strong girl symptoms and in my heart I thought I knew it was a girl...then came this ultrasound and I still denied it but my eyes kept drawing to that area and I just thought this is just way too obvious. I think girl mums at this stage are upright too but just not this obvious. I think their is upright but still slightly more tucked away IYKWIM....so had mine been a girl maybe it just wouldn't have shown so much or at all. But it is true.....anything can happe this early on.....so I hope the thread starter will come back and let us know it is indeed a girl.....that would give me some hope should I see this kind of ultrasound again....:) but I am convinced this is a boy......

I do yes, that's what the ob told me with my 12 week u/s. I was def 12 weeks pregnant, on the dot. As I only had sex once that month (way to sick at the time for more) and the tech said I was 12 weeks and 5 days. Which was impossible as my hubbies seed is awesome, but they don't swim back in time, right back where I had my period lol. My eldest son always measured bigger, from the first u/s at 6 weeks (2 days ahead), 8 weeks (3 days ahead) 10 weeks ( 4 days ahead) and then at 12 weeks 5 days ahead. I don't understand how that can happen? At 16 weeks my son measured 2 weeks bigger and at 20 weeks 3 weeks. He just kept on growing bigger than other babies at the same gestation. When he was born, I was induced at 37+6 days, he weight 7 lbs and was 54 cm tall! He really always was a big baby and I just haven't found an ob to explain to me how come. His little brother was the same and at 40+5 he came out 9 lbs and 56 cm. But with him we dtd every other day so there is no way I can pinpoint when we conceived him. I just always thought it was very interesting how DS1 grew during the entire pregnancy. Anyway, enough about me ;) My sister will have her u/s on wednesday, so will report back by then :)

It's a boy! We're so excited! :HH:
