Hi,
I posted this on the strictly nub theory page on fb and the moderator guessed boy. I was so desperate for a girl. Does it look like a boy nub? This is my last baby so I need to start getting my head around it now I think. Scan was at 13weeks (baby measured 12weeks 6 days at this scan).
Thanks 4181141812

I’d say boy but i’m not an expert.

Not very clear to me. Do you have any other pics or maybe a video?

Second one I think if that’s the nub (not too clear) it’s pointing downwards.. think there’s a little fork on the end just above their measurement marker. The top bit could be part of the leg? These really aren’t reliable enough to guess from. Could you have another scan at 13+ weeks? They often get it wrong on there so try not to be too discouraged

Thanks to everyone who has replied. I didn’t think I could see a nub clearly either. I am still hopeful but I really need to get my head around another boy. Any baby will be loved but it will be sad to know that my daughter will never have a sister. I think it’s just because I am so close to my sisters and not as much with my brothers (I come from a big family).
I don’t have any other pics unfortunately. I did send them off to nub techs and they surprisingly said boy (I attached the image they sent). I say surprisingly because I also sent it to the nubologists and they told me the same as most on here and that the nub wasn’t fully pictured so they couldn’t guess 41830

Just updating the nubologists said 70% chance boy but not certain enough to charge me. I really wanted that little girl.

I think that one is actually too low to be the nub. But there really isn't a clear nub to guess from.

I don't think either picture shows a nub. The thing they're saying is a nub, is very obviously a leg to me.
Good luck and pink dust.

Thanks. Did you see the scan pic with the nub traced out from nub techs? Do you think that is part of the leg? I hope it is. lol. I think I just need to get my head around another boy anyway. I will probably not find out for sure until birth as I am worried if I find out for sure I will fixate on it. Funnily enough if I go into labour a few weeks early I will know it’s a boy. They have all been 2-3 weeks early and only my daughter was overdue.

Yes I do think it's the leg. Go ahead and still expect a boy and then that way hopefully you'll have a good surprise.
There is no rhyme or reason to when your baby is delivered and their gender. That has nothing to do with the baby's gender at all.

Thanks I think it has been good for me these past few days to think more about Bub been a boy (obviously I knew it was a possibility but I was so fixated on a girl). I ended up talking to a few people about gender disappointment and how I would be sad my daughter wouldn’t have a sister. Surprisingly after opening up to a few people I actually feel a lot better about it and feel more excited about the possibility of another boy. So although I know a lot of people don’t understand gender disappointment it was worthwhile been honest about my feelings. It’s a terrible feeling but it in no way means I won’t love a baby boy.
Lol, I know when baby arrives probably has nothing to do with gender. It’s just something I noticed about my boys. All my kids get jaundice secondary to ABO incompatibility and my boys are always quiet bad (a week or more in the children’s hospital) and my daughter was a much more mild case (home with a bili blanket). Sometimes I think the boys are earlier because that has already become a problem?? They were also much smaller and my daughter was quiet a big baby in comparison *♀️

Funnily enough I also contacted the Radiology clinic and they had a sonographer look at the image and assured me it’s a segment of bubs thigh. I am excited that it’s a surprise again and happy I have come to terms with having another boy too! It’s all worked out well. LOL. Now it’s time to enjoy the pregnancy and stop overthinking everything.

Oh yes I know that you know - it can mess with your head though so I thought I'd chime in and mention there's no trend that way to help ease your mind. :)
I actually think it's the other way round - the boys had worse jaundice probably because they were early (certainly why they were smaller!). Their livers just aren't quite done growing when they come early so they have more trouble clearing out the bilirubin. My hope is your next baby regardless of gender is full term and can come home right away with the bili blankie! :) Good luck and pink dust headed your way!

I don’t think the nub is visible, but if it is the nub I’m seeing (but not sure at all it is), then I say girl. How did you go - did you find out?

No, it's Tapatalk and since it's on their end, we can't fix it.
