Thoughts? Boy or girl?

[Lilyflower]

Hi ladies,

I just had my 12 week ultrasound. Any guesses on whether it’s a boy or a girl? I’ve been dreaming of having a little girl so curious to know your thoughts :)

Is this 12 weeks straight up or later in the 12th week

The ultrasound screen dated it at 12 weeks and 3 days. I actually thought I wasn’t even 12 weeks since we only ttc once and I had the conception date

I would say boy...

That’s my hunch too. I just have a gut feeling but I’m going to hold out hope that it’s a little girl

The fork looks girly but angle boy any other pics?

[Lilyflower]

That’s the only one I have. So it may remain a mystery until he or she comes out :)

Kind of curious if anyone at all thinks this could be a girl? The only guesses I’ve really gotten have been boy (which is my strong gut feeling) and it’s really triggering my GD. I’ve been trying to tell myself that it could still be a girl and I don’t really know, but I just KNOW it’s a boy. I had the same feeling with my son and I was right. For reference, the ultrasound dates the gestation at 12+3 but since we ttc only once, I do know that it should actually be under 12 weeks. Just hoping for some encouragement that my feelings could still be wrong and it could still be the girl I’ve dreamed of for so long since lately I’m so anxious. Thanks in advance ladies.

I'm not sure I'm sorry.

I really hope that it's a girl for you.

I am 50:50, could go either way, really hope this is your little girl. GD is such a hard thing to deal with.

Thank you so much for the kind words. It really means a lot. That makes me a bit more hopeful that even if it’s not a girl for sure, it’s also not resoundingly a boy either at this point.

If it is a boy... it is soooo much fun for your eldest.. And to see them together later on... it is magic for you... Trust me.. I have three boys.. :-) Either way, it will be allright..

I think I’m going to read your comment many times over. Your words are so comforting and I’ve heard from many moms that the bond between brothers can be unbreakable. I hope so much for my son that he will feel that way because so much of the reason for us wanting another child is for him to have a constant playmate and companion, especially since they will be under 2.5 years apart.

The fork makes me lean girl but the angle leans boy.
Hopefully bubs is curled for a girl x

I agree. I did actually measure the angle to see how high it is and it’s within 30 degrees. From what I’ve read about nub theory, anything between 10-30 degrees is considered inconclusive especially before 12 weeks so that gives me hope! But I’ve also read that once the nub begin to rise, it doesn’t go back down so it really does depend. I’ve heard that some moms who look through various ultrasound photos can see a difference in the angle depending on how baby is positioned, having some shots that make the nub look more angled than others.

So I’m still hoping there’s a little girl in there :)

I honestly think boys should come in pairs like shoes, I really do! :)

Hi Atomic, I think you might be the only one to put my mind at rest and allow me to continue my team green mission by believing that it’s 50:50 until bubs comes out.

I know the nub in my ultrasound is angled and “once they rise they don’t come back down” but I also know that prior to (or even at) 12 weeks, it’s not reliable and also the baby can be at a certain angle that makes the nub look more or less angled depending on their position. And even then, there have been girl nubs that end up as boys and even boyish looking nubs that end up being girls. Right??! Yes. I know that it’s more likely for a girly nub to turn boy and less likely for an angled nub to turn pink but it CAN happen, right!!?

I just read your posts now on your preference not to look into these theories while on team green and boy do I agree!! I thought it would be fun and didn’t realize the guesses would feel as hard to digest as an actual medical confirmation.

Now that I’ve done a bit more research on nub theory and understand it’s limitations, I just need your reassurance that my little adorable ultrasound (while it may look boyish) is in no way an indication either way for sure and it will remain to be seen when the little boy or girl is born. I think if you can tell me it’s 50:50 then I will finally be able to let the guesses I’ve gotten go and continue to dream pink and enjoy the team green experience.

yes it can happen and I am completely at 50-50 on this one. I literally could not tell, I'm not blowing smoke your way - I literally do not know and would never guess anything other than 50-50 based on this!!

You have no idea how much that puts my mind at ease. I actually expected you to say that based on the angle it’s most likely a boy so hearing 50:50 is such a relief! I really appreciate it and truly value your point of view. Now I’m done guessing and continuing to dream pink :)
