12+1w scan. Pink or blue??? Any guesses welcome please!!

[nicnee1976]

Hopefully attached are some pics of our 12+1w scan. It says 13w on the image, but baby measured 12+1w which correlates with the date I calculated.

I'm no expert on nub theory, but I think I can see the nub. Any guesses as to whether this one is pink or blue??

Thanks for looking.

Girl.

[Freya]

Yes, I think girl, too :) .

[nicnee1976]

I have had 50/50 boy/girl guesses on IG. Lots of people think that the bump on top of the nub looks boyish. I hope you lot are right though!! Any more guesses welcome!!

[TTC5]

I hope you hear Girl at your next scan!

Just to update, baby is a girl. We did not find out until birth and she arrived on 2nd Dec. We are over the moon. She arrived very rapidly after a labour that lasted less than an hour and the midwife did not get to our planned home birth in time. DH delivered her under telephone instruction from the ambulance switchboard.
Her name is Katie Erin and she was 8lb 14oz.

[DoulaMama]

WAY TO GO, MAMA!!!! An unplanned unassisted! Wowsa! How exciting! HUGE CONGRATULATIONS on your baby GIRL!!! Enjoy your babymoon and your first Christmas as a family of 6!!!! xoxoxox

[nicnee1976]

Thanks doulamama, I was terrified, especially when my waters broke with meconium in it!! She came out very blue but soon cried out. Good job she came out quickly. We are all well. Life is a bit chaotic, but we are all happy with our little girl.

[zanacal]

Oh nicnee, this is fantastic news! I was wondering about you this week. I'm so, so happy for you. Yay!!

[DoulaMama]

I'm so sorry you were terrified:( The thing with fast births is that usually there are zero problems with the birth. And as long as the mec isn't thick and it's just staining of the waters, it's no biggie. Most midwives feel that suctioning isn't needed with light mec. I've had 2 out of 3 born blue too. They pink up pretty fast as long as the cord is left alone as it should be:) Be proud of yourself, Mama! You birthed your baby exactly like you were meant to! Oh and hubby "caught" your baby;) Babies are birthed...pizzas are delivered;) LOL That's the midwife in me speaking....hahaha!
Well done!!!

[KnockYourBallsOff]

[LolaInLove]

OMG, congrats all around, Nicnee! I love that you 3 boy mamas are popping out your pink bundles now, that is AWESOME!!!!!! Hope you are all doing beautifully! And GO DH!

[Another princess]

Many many congratulations on your baby girl. enjoy every minute of her! Did u sway? X

[nuthinbutpink]

Wonderful news! Congratulations!

[nicnee1976]

Thanks for all the well wishes. We did sway. I wasn't too great at the diet, but did increase calcium, reduced sodium and potassium, cut out caffeine, took calcium, magnesium, B6, cranberry and folate supplements. The month I conceived I tried to eat/drink acidifying foods. I drank a lot of caffeine free diet coke.

We did frequent release with a 2-3 day cut off. My pH wasn't super low, but lower for me. No big O, missionary, no jump and dump.

It was a new moon and I used a fan on the laptop, but that was about it for ions.

I felt she was a girl throughout the pregnancy, but did not let myself believe it. I was very different in mood this pregnancy, very calm. I also put on more weight everywhere and carried higher up. Her heart rate was always above 140, whereas the boys were 130-140. I had a very sweet tooth this pregnancy too.

It is just starting to sink in that we have a girl. Life is busy and chaotic, but she's worth it. I may not be saying that when DH goes back to work though!!!

[My Fabulous Children]

Yay! Congrats on your little girl x

[Another princess]

Nicnee, many thanks for sharing your sway. I'm sure once the chaos of Christmas is over u can really start to enjoy her. Many congrats once again x
