13 + 5 scan - Is there a nub?

[Roma Rose]

These are probably low quality as our hospital don't give digital copies so I had to scan these in, and four kids in I still never know what I'm looking for on these scans...but can anyone see a nub or have any boy /girl guesses on my 13 + 5 scans?

Girl!!!! Nothing set in stone of course but that is soooo flat!! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

I think girl!

As per our other convo I wanted to explain what I'm seeing in the nub:

Do you see those sticky outy straight things coming out of the baby's bottom area?? See how long and flat they are?? That is more girlish. A boy nub would be shorter and sticking up at an angle more.

I thought those lines might be the top of the leg, the photos haven't come out very well as I scanned them in using my phone. Here's the same photos again but as a photo of a photo, I think the pics are a bit clearer this way. Asked in an FB nub theory group and most think boy (which is my gut feeling too).

No expert but girl guess from me. The short angled sticking up bit sees completely disconnected and too high up to be nub. The bit that looks like nub is straight and flat. Fingers crossed for you.

I feel that I still see girl nub on the new pics. :)

Still not convinced - this is the boy prediction I got via FB makes sense. Better to steel myself for boy, anyway. 42274

I think you are doing the right thing to prepare for a boy. This is a really tricky one. I’m not sure if what they’ve circled is the bladder. The pictures are quite busy so it’s hard to tell if that bit above is stacking or something else. I’m 50/50 but really hoping you hear girl. When will you find out?

I don't know, I feel terrified to find out. Want to live in ignorant bliss as long as possible but also want to be prepared and forewarned against people's comments and speculation. 14 weeks now, I have NIPT results in an email that I haven't looked at (they confirmed on the phone that everything came back low risk). I guess I'll look at the email before we tell people, which will have to be soon!

I'm not trying to convince you, I'm just giving my opinion. It's always best to prepare for boy and then hopefully get a pleasant surprise.

Oh crikey it must be hard knowing the result is just there.

I did sneak peek and although I know it’s not the most reliable i left the email for a while as like you I was scared to open it. It really is such a scary thing to do. I have everything crossed for you. It’s always wise to try and prepare for a boy just in case. I tried to picture a boy and picked his name etc to try to get used to the idea. I don’t think it helps the GD bit might help you pluck up the courage to open the email. Please update us when you know and everything is crossed for you.

Any updates Roma?

[Roma Rose]

Hi, just to update that I've had it confirmed via both NIPT and anomaly scan that it is indeed boy number 4
