Indigoviolet's FINAL update, p.7

[indigoviolet]

I don't get the fact that on one picture the baby is on the right and on another the left. If anyone could shed any light, I'd really appreciate it! Got my 12 week scan in a week and starting to obsess!

[nuthinbutpink]

Here is an interesting post I found about this theory-

The lady's pic looks like yours!

I can't see your uterus in these pictures because these pictures are both magnifications of a small area in your uterus.* The only way to know if your baby has attached to the left or right walls of your uterus would be during the scan. The tech would have to find your uterine wall and then find the conceptus. It's a bit like scrolling around your town on Google Maps while looking for your own home. :)* The oval rings that you see around the baby aren't the uterus (The uterus appears as 3 striated lines.), those are rings are caused by the soundwaves bouncing through fat and muscle so think of them like a topographical map.* I can tell you that the baby is on the left side of the placenta.* Even though it appears to be on the right, you have to remember that you were laying down and facing the technician.* It's a mirror image.

[begonia]

The tough thing with Ramzi is it isn't where the baby is attached, it's where the placenta is developing, and those can be in different areas. If you read his paper it is VERY tough to identify which side the placenta is on without the appropriate equipment mapping bloodflow. What they did on IG to guess (and had like 70/30) success, I believe, was look at where the brightest, thickest white part of the placenta was on the photo, so where the MOST white area is on the side of the sac, and that was where they assumed the placenta to be developing.

On yours it looks to me like it's pretty thick all the way around, LOL :) I think Ramzi is really a tough thing to guess off of photos.

[indigoviolet]

thanks NBP, wow, that's so interesting! I really thought that was the walls of the uterus you could see. Makes much more sense now with this explanation.
when you say 'baby appears left side of the placenta' that doesn't mean left of uterus though does it? (I wish!)

[indigoviolet]

Thanks Begonia, it is confusing but at least I know why now! :HH:

[indigoviolet]

Right, 12 week scan tomorrow, will post nub pic if I get a good one. Wish me luck!!! (sooo nervous!)

[Sunset]

I'm terrible with the Ramzi theory, just wanted to wish you luck tomorrow! enjoy seeing your little bean again :) :HH:

[indigoviolet]

Thanks hon, appreciate it :HH:

[Indira]

Good luck tomorrow, I hope you will enjoy seeing your little baby.

[indigoviolet]

pics from 12 week scan this morning, baby dated at 13+1 weeks. Any ideas? sure I saw a boy nub but now looking at the pics I'm not so sure....still have a bit of hope that this is a girl, am I totally wrong?128712881289

[Indira]

Hi, what a cute baby you have ! Look at that little nose!
I think it looks girlish, I´m not sure it is the nub I´m looking at but I get a very girly sensation looking at her.

[indigoviolet]

thanks Indira :HH:

[begonia]

I don't see a nub, Indigo, but what a sweet little profile :) FX you hear pink in a few more weeks!

[charlieispy]

i think there is nub in the middle pic.....slightly pointing up HOWEVER the spine is curved so my vote is girl :D have you posted on IG?

[HappyLea]

my guess is slight lean :DD:

[indigoviolet]

Thanks girls :HH: :pray: you are right and I still have a chance this is a girl.

No havn't posted on IG, can't seem to get on at the moment.

[LolaInLove]

I get a girl vibe also.....super cute baby!!!!!

[zanacal]

Ooh, I'm really thinking girl too. Her profile is just like mine at my 12 week scan. I'll find a link for you in a mo!

[zanacal]

First photo here:

I just realised I said 'her' profile - it's obviously what I was thinking lol!

[ELP]

Baby definitely has a lovely girl head shape and there is only a hint of a nub showing but not enough to guess from. If you hadn't had said you thought you saw a boy nub then I would definitely have voted girl, will you be finding out!!!

[Cinss]

Not sure, but congrats on your pregnancy.

[waterhardeningsteel]

guessing girl because the placenta appears to be on the left

[indigoviolet]

Thanks ladies, at least there is still hope!

It is so similar to your girl Zanacal, just :pray: they are the same gender too!

[indigoviolet]

Any more guesses?

Can't help but get a bit obsessed lol

[purplepoet20]

I a have a strong girl feeling about that one!

[indigoviolet]

thanks PP :HH: :pray: you are right.
How is the 2ww going? fx for you!

[KnockYourBallsOff]

I think that skull looks girly--no nub from what I can see. good luck!

[nini]

Sweet pictures :) As some previous posters said the nub isnt pictured clearly enough to make an accurate guess and it could totally go either way. If I HAD to lean one way or the other, I would lean boy, BUT only based on what we see here (we might be missing vital girl clues!!). Sorry to be going against the general opinion on here. I hope I am wrong and the others are right.

[My Fabulous Children]

I think girl, FX for your scan in a few weeks. Good luck.

[TTC5]

What a girly shape skull!!

[indigoviolet]

Thanks ladies for your guesses. Had a dream last night that I read a note on my scan notes, that I'd previously not seen, that said 'boy', hope it's not true!

[auroara78]

indigo, i think skull looks girly, for what's worth, but i'm not real good yet at these kind of guesses.

Will you find out at 20 week u/s or get a private scan early?

[indigoviolet]

auroara- yes I booked a private gender scan today, it is in 2 weeks time, am starting to feel nervous!!
thanks for your guess :HH:

[atomic sagebrush]

I am hopeless at nubs, but just want to wish you the best! Baby is adorable!

[indigoviolet]

thanks Atomic, will keep you updated!

[HopeandDreamG]

Indigo~ I'm thinking girl. I always make my guess before I see others responses bc I don't want to be influenced. My thoughts were based on the beautiful skull shape!!! Good luck..please keep us posted!!

[ManonReve]

Skull looks girly. The top pic looks like a girly nub to me, but it's not a perfect shot. I would say 70/30 girl.

[Mom2many]

What I can see of the nub, it does girly, but not sure if the whole nub is seen. Cute baby though and GL!

[Flava]

I think girl.Looks like a girl so lol very pretty baby! GL

[tiffanimix]

i think girl !

[sweetpea]

I have no idea about the nub (I'm terrible at that!), but I *think* the skull looks girly to me. I'm still learning how to determine a girl/boy skull though, so take that with a grain of salt. Good luck! :)

[My Fabulous Children]

Hi indigoviolet, just wanted to say good luck with your gender scan soon.

I hope you hear PINK :luck:

[HopeandDreamG]

Indigo- when's your gender scan. I imagine it's this week right? Fingers crossed for you !!!! Praying you hear pink!

[indigoviolet]

thanks ladies! I don't know how you remember, I barely do! serious babybrain here. Really sweet of you to ask.

Yes, it is tomorrow and I'm soooo scared.

I know you all understand and it means so much having your support :HH:

will keep you posted....

[zanacal]

Good luck tomorrow Indigo x

[nuthinbutpink]

Yay! Someone to stalk, lol! Good luck!

[atomic sagebrush]

Thinking of you indigo! :heart:

[fivebabies]

Yay! Good luck tomorrow! Very cute baby! Looks girlie to me as well. :fingers:

[TTC5]

GL tomorrow!

[TTC5]

Skull looks girly :)

[Foxy]

Good luck!!!

[fivebabies]

What time is your scan, Hun? :)

[sweetpea]

Good luck! Thinking of you today, and hoping you hear pink! :awe:

[atomic sagebrush]

I'm dying here!!! Can't wait! :)

[indigoviolet]

Well, looks like we are having another little boy :(
it was a private scan (free as it was their 2nd birthday) but didnt get good views and baby not cooperating. she said she wasn't 100% sure but we both agreed it seems far more boy than girl. Oh well.
thanks so much for all your well wishes :HH:

[fivebabies]

Congrats the sweet baby boy! :HH:

[nuthinbutpink]

Well, do you have a pic? If you didn't get a good view, how can they be sure?

[sweetpea]

Well, do you have a pic? If you didn't get a good view, how can they be sure?

I agree! Without a good enough view, I'm sure not all hope is lost! Will you be having another scan? Did they offer to repeat the scan bc baby wasn't cooperating? (I know sometimes they will have you come back in another day to get a better view)

[auroara78]

Indigo, I wanna see some pictures! I agree that unless it's been confirmed 100%, that there is still hope.

[indigoviolet]

thanks ladies :HH: I love your encouraging words, mean a lot.

It was a free scan (promotion) so they didn't give me any pictures, such a pain as I could have done with your opinions! I still have that teeny bit of hope but know deep down it is a boy. I just wish I could know for sure so I could move on. Can't believe I'd be so 'unlucky' to have 3 boys in a row. I'm obviously so so relieved baby healthy but I can't help but feel so disappointed.

[Mochagirl]

I'm sorry, indigo. I hope they were wrong and you see girly bits next time!

[My Fabulous Children]

I'm so sorry Indigo, but since she wasn't 100% sure, still there is hope!

When is your next scan?

[applesoup]

:hug2: Indigo! I've totally been there before. And people WILL try and make it seem like you were some how "unlucky" to have 3 boys--and sometimes, it's easy to feel that way.

I have to tell you, now that DS3 has a personality of his own, having 3 boys seems special to me--something most families don't get to experience.

That being said, I COMPLETELY understand your heartache & mine aches for you. Wait until your next scan before losing the hope!

[Indira]

I´m sorry things went like this indigo, I still hope it´s a girl :HH:

[atomic sagebrush]

:( I'm glad baby looks healthy tho.

[annabel♥lee]

I know just how you feel. <3

[Myloves]

:( I'm glad baby looks healthy tho.

Exactly what I was about to say. Congrats - your 3 boys will be a wondeful gift to you, I hope you feel better soon hun x

[indigoviolet]

So finally got to my 20 week scan and confirmation that it is indeed a boy....healthy and well so I am grateful. Thanks for all the positive thoughts and well wishes.
I need to hear a few good things about having 3 boys.

[Foxy]

Congratulations on a sweet baby boy. xx

[Mochagirl]

Indigo - I swayed unsuccessfully with DS3 and cried for days when I found out he was a boy. I managed to get myself together after a little while and was excited to meet him once my due date came. Now I can't imagine life without him. Now that he's older, he plays with his big brothers all the time, and the 3 of them are very close. I grew up with 3 older brothers, and they're all great friends to this day. They're also all very close to my Mom - she helped out after the birth of all their children, and she's also the favorite grandma of all her grandchildren. I hope I stay as close to my boys as they grow up.

[zanacal]

{hugs} Indigo and congratulations on your little boy. I adore my DS3 and promise you'll love having a gang of three too :D

[Indira]

:(
Sorry you didn´t get your girl this time Indigo, congratulations on your healthy boy.
I wish I could tell you something nice about 3 boys like PP´s did, all I can say is what I like about the idea of having a third boy: imagining them as teenagers or adults, being close, becoming succesfull in live and adoring their mom.
The strongest and most loving mother-adult sons relations I know, are in an all-boys family.
Can you watch video´s from your sons as babies ? When I saw one the other day of DS2 I just wanted another one like that again.
HUGS

[begonia]

Congrats on another healthy miracle in your family Indigoviolet, and HUGE hugs to you :bighug:

[KnockYourBallsOff]

I echo the other girls. I know it's kinda an alone-like feeling and you feel like everyone you see has one of each and no one has only boys (at least I feel this way at times...) But, know you're not alone..and my boys are GREAT friends! Once this little man's story unfolds...he'll fit right in! Some days when I get down, I just tell myself....some little girl is running around in the world somewhere right now and one of my little boys will be her prince charming, father to her children, love of her life. Just as DH is to me. Then, I know, there's a bigger picture. Praying for peace for you!

[indigoviolet]

Thanks for all your wonderful comments ladies, really really appreciate it, you have warmed my heart and made my day. Feeling SO much better after reading your posts :HH:

[Flava]

Sorry you didn't hear girls. We all guessed girl because your 12 week pics look so girly...but congrats on your healthy baby boy !Im sure he will be awesome.can't wait for pics!
