Nub guesses 13w4d

[hellokittyrn4]

Hi everyone! Just wanted to see if anyone wanted to guess the gender on my ultrasound from today. Baby measured 13w4d which is also what baby should be measuring by LMP. There really is only one picture which I think shows the nub unfortunately and they wouldn’t allow video. The ultrasound tech told us what she thinks based on the nub but wanted to see what everyone thinks :)

tentative pink lean but these aren't crystal clear for me.

Thank you atomic for your guess. The images they printed seem much more blurry then when they were actually doing the ultrasound. There was much better views of the nub during the scan. From what I saw and comparing to confirmed nubs I would also say girl. The ultrasound tech also said based off the nub she would guess girl so I guess we shall see. I had the genetic dna drawn as well so once I get the results I will definitely update. :)

Thank you ��

Also can anyone point out where exactly the nub is in this pic ? I feel like I’m looking at two spots and not sure which is correct haha

[atomic sagebrush]

Yes, I think we're getting some interference with leg, cord, and possibly even hand here, and the end of the nub, which should tell us which is which, is not visible. I ~think~ the nub is not the super rounded part but the part directly below that, but the truth is I honestly can't tell for sure. hence my reluctance to sound off on it.

[hellokittyrn4]

Thank you I was trying to figure out which was nub and wasn’t sure either. I know when I was at the ultrasound I didn’t see any obvious stacking but I’m no expert. I asked the tech who said based of the nub theory it would indicate girl since she said it was parallel. So what we are thinking is where I drew the yellow line is potentially the nub. The pink circle I drew does that look like stacking or is that not in the right spot for stacking? 43550

The reason why I don't think the top "thing" is nub is because it appears to go up into the stomach on the most superficial of levels. That seems to indicate cord to me. Now, if that WAS part of the nub, that could be a vulva but it just seems up too high and too prominent.

I think where the yellow arrow is ~may~ be nub but the nub really should extend a bit farther than that. It could also be leg bone or even a finger, tho I do think I see the arm in a different place.

That's not stacking. Not in the right place and do you see how the "bulb" looking thing seems attached to the stomach? My guess is cord, nub, then leg bone but I can't be sure these are just too grainy and not complete enough

[hellokittyrn4]

Thank you so much for your explanation. I totally understand these things can’t be completely certain especially from one photo. I also thought the yellow arrow was where the nub was but wasn’t sure what the space above was. Are boy nubs usually more obvious at this stage or when is it more likely to see an obvious difference in nubs?

[atomic sagebrush]

The issue is not the stage, it's the photo. It's just not a clear shot compared to what I'd feel confident with. Most shots from this gestation are able to tell one way or the other.

[hellokittyrn4]

I understand. It’s the quality of the image but typically by this gestation you can tell with a better quality image. I was so bummed they didn’t allow video not just for nub purpose but to show our family. I have one other image but baby is not in the ideal position so probably not helpful at all. I can post it43552 anyway though.

If I look from far away I guess girl but closer up seems boy, not much help sorry:D

[hellokittyrn4]

I know I can’t tell if these images are playing with my eyes haha I guess I will have to go with what I saw at the time of the ultrasound and what the tech guessed since it’s easier to guess when seeing it in true time. I’ll definitely update when I get my genetic testing back :)

[atomic sagebrush]

That actually is somewhat helpful. Now that I've seen this one, I think the baby is actually laying on its side and the body parts we were wondering about may not be what we thought they were at all. In the above pic, I feel that I can see spine down the middle, the right shoulder AND the left shoulder (in a proper nub shot we should not be able to see both shoulders!) and the thing at the bottom is baby's bum and pelvis. The bottom pic, the original, while the baby MAY be in a somewhat different position, the photo is so grainy at the top that I really honestly can't tell what position the baby is lying in. I just can't guess on these with any accuracy because I'm no longer certain about that even being the nub at this point. 50-50.

The tech sees by far and away more than we see. If the tech guessed, I'd take that with much more certainty (tho they do still get it wrong sometimes) than anything we can glean from these because they're truly not the right kind of pics for guessing.
