:holysheep::holysheep:Ok, ladies...here they are. Please be honest.

Sorry if they're huge - I'm uploading from my car in the clinic parking lot.

UPDATE: I had a private gender scan at 16weeks 5 days and found out I'm having a GIRL! Thank you everyone for helping and supporting me on this long journey - especially atomic for sharing her amazing knowledge!

i think girl hun from the top pic !!!!!!!!

DoulaMama
March 7th, 2012, 12:05 PM
From top pic I think :DD:!!! It looks from first glance like it has a very slight upward angle but if you follow the spine it's basically parallel:) Plus it's pointy and forked...looks like so many Girly nubs I've seen. I'm saying GIRL :) And that's one super cute baby!!

Glad all was well Mocha! I can't see a great deal - maybe when you're home you can play around with the contrast to make them clearer? I could see so much more in my photos with doing that! Congratulations :D

I am such a noob at nub theory, but from what I've seen and my gut is telling me (plus I do think the skull is girly) I am saying :DD:!

Mochagirl
March 7th, 2012, 02:30 PM
Thanks, auroara. I was just on I-G to browse through their comfirmed boy u/s pics, and unfortunately I found tons that look exactly like my scan...so feeling a little less optimistic about it now.

sweetpea
March 7th, 2012, 02:33 PM
I'm not so great at nub guessing, but if I had to guess, I think it looks more girl to me. Plus, the skull looks girly too. Good luck!! :)

Mochagirl
March 7th, 2012, 02:36 PM
And now I'm going through the confirmed girl pics and found lots that look like mine too. Aaahhhh! It's enough to drive anyone crazy. I guess at least maybe it's still 50/50...

littlemisswilko
March 7th, 2012, 02:44 PM
one of my pics looks slightly like yours and i also feel 50/50 about it. some days i feel its more boy and the other im optimistic it may be a girl. i did exactly what your doing and went on ig and was looking at the confirmed pics and thinking the same, ive now put the pics away and focusing on not looking at them now it was taking over my life! Altho im able to go and get a scan to find out the gender im just so scared of being told what it is. even the thought of it makes me feel sick. im just being happy in my little bubble at the minute. hope you get your girl! xxx

Mochagirl
March 7th, 2012, 02:45 PM
Thanks littlemisswilco. It's a roller coaster ride, isn't it? I hope you hear girl when you get up the nerve to go!

littlemisswilko
March 7th, 2012, 02:51 PM
very much a rollercoater ride. i havenjt yet dared go public with it neither. altho my family & friends know but other people like on Fb dont as i just dont think im ready for the gender comments!

Mochagirl
March 7th, 2012, 02:54 PM
Yeah, I'm waiting a while to make a public announcement too. For me it's both the gender issue, and the fact that I won't know the results of my triple screen until 16 weeks. For now only dh, my Mom and my closest girlfriends know. I think I'll have to slowly start telling people I see regularly in person because it's getting too hard to hide my belly, and I think I'll also tell the rest of my family (though probably not the kids yet). I won't be making a FB announcement until I know the baby's healthy and know the gender. I want to avoid all the gender comments too....

Just popping on to give you OOOOOOOOODLES and OOOOOOOOOOOODLES of :HH:, Mocha-Jo! I'm hoping these next few wks speed by for you and those "healthy baby" results come soon! As I said in my PM, I agree 100% w/what Doula said! Leaning :babygirl:...Also, the 2nd pic doesn't seem to have a lot going on which could also be a sign of a :biggirl2: as there are a lack of boy bits popping up.

AGGGHHHH! So nerve-wracking, isn't it!?! For the next month or so, stay as busy as possible and do anything to occupy your mind with other things so you're not stucking Nubsess Madness as I was. I am hoping and :pray: you've got your little girl in there, MJ! :HH:

March 7th, 2012, 04:08 PM
I too want to shout girl but I can't with these pics. I think the look of the nub is more girl than boy in the first pic but there is a hint of an angle that gives me pause and the second pic- there is something that looks like a bump but it is too blurry for me to know what I am actually seeing in that one. 50/50 here.

Glittergirl
March 7th, 2012, 04:25 PM
First one looks girl to me!!! Congrats!

purplepoet20
March 7th, 2012, 04:44 PM
Looking at the pictures again and it seems like the spine is facing toward us to much. What we all see as the nub could be a leg.

norah
March 7th, 2012, 04:46 PM
hi mochagirl.
as you told so, it's almost the same nub as mine! how long do you have te wait before the next one?

Mochagirl
March 7th, 2012, 05:20 PM
Looking at the pictures again and it seems like the spine is facing toward us to much. What we all see as the nub could be a leg.

Just my luck - no nub at all?? I guess I'm going to have to learn patience, because it's going to be a loooong wait until I can find out the gender.

Mochagirl
March 7th, 2012, 05:21 PM
hi mochagirl.
as you told so, it's almost the same nub as mine! how long do you have te wait before the next one?

The private places around here won't do a gender scan until 18 weeks, so I'll either do it then or wait for my free scan at 20 weeks. I have a feeling I'll get impatient and pay for the earlier one! How about you? When will you find out?

PeonyPrincess
March 7th, 2012, 05:35 PM
Mocha, sorry I have absolutely no clue what I am supposed to look for so I can't guess. But really pleased everything is going well so far.

Ok, I think I managed to up the contrast. Let's see if it worked.

Hm I think girl, but it's kinda hard to tell... I can't really see a boy nub.

Cinss
March 7th, 2012, 07:39 PM
Looks like a boy in the 1st pic and a girl in the second, sorry i cant tell.

Inglewood
March 7th, 2012, 08:03 PM
Thinking :DD: from the first pic as the nub seems parallel with spine,(the 2nd pics that u altered and re-posted are clearer) and the girly skull shape and look like my scan pics at 12wks!! Really hope you get ur girl!!! xx

Mochagirl
March 7th, 2012, 09:09 PM
Thanks again, ladies! I also posted over at I-G to get some unbiased opinions since everyone over here is so nice and knows me so well sometimes I worry that it will influence your guesses, and so far everyone over there is slightly leaning girl too. I wish the picture was a very obvious girly one, but since I don't have that I think I'll happily take 'could be a girl' over 'definitely a boy!' ;)

Keep the guesses coming, though - I value them all, even the ones that don't give me the news I want to hear!!

lobella2
March 7th, 2012, 09:11 PM
I would lean girl on the first picture. I hope you get your girl!

March 8th, 2012, 08:36 AM
I think the first picture looks girl. If you look closely it looks very much like nikbaby3 12 wk nub shot - it kind of curves up at the end. She had girl confirmed at 20 wks. Check it out on the confirmed girl thread. Goodluck I really do hope it's your girl. Fx

zanacal
March 8th, 2012, 09:26 AM
Ack, I still don't know! Looking at the enhanced picture I don't know which, if any, of those lines are the nub and I don't think we see one in the second picture do we?! I was none the wiser after my 12 week scan either, so frustrating!! I REALLY hope it's your girl x

Mochagirl
March 8th, 2012, 11:27 AM
People on IG are starting to guess boy now. They say there's a bump on the top of the nub.

littlemissnaughty7
March 8th, 2012, 11:37 AM
i cant see a bump on top of the nub hun ? the skull looks very girly to me,

Another princess
March 8th, 2012, 12:17 PM
Try not to worry mochagirl - was stalking your thread on iG and the poster named WMB was referring to minimuffin27 nub shot when she said it had a bump on it. It's confusing but she quoted minimuffin in the post. X

Mochagirl
March 8th, 2012, 12:19 PM
Ah - I was reading it on my iPhone and wondered what she meant by 'sorry for responding here' or whatever it was she said.

March 8th, 2012, 12:21 PM
I am hopeless at nubs but I will just say that at DS 4's scan, he was SO OBVIOUSLY a boy and I don't see any of that here.

Beautiful baby and wishing you the very best.

Sorry, Norah - I looked at your picture, but I'm so clueless about nubs that I can't even tell whether or not there's one in that picture.

Mochagirl
March 8th, 2012, 12:32 PM
Thanks again everyone for your guesses. I'm just thankful it wasn't a glaringly obvious boy nub because at least it still let's me have hope, but it's going to be a looong wait until I can find out for sure!

auroara78
March 8th, 2012, 03:03 PM
Are you going to find out early at a private U/S place? I am sticking to the 19 weeks at my DR's office. That will be the last week of April. I would like to find out around my birthday, when I'm about 16ish weeks, but the only private place around here cost 90 dollars for 10 minutes and they do mostly 26 weeks + 3D/4D, so I don't think they do gender determination, it wasn't on their menu of prices.

Mochagirl
March 8th, 2012, 03:06 PM
I just posted about this in our due date group, but I found out the private place near me doesn't do gender scans until 20 weeks. Why would I pay for a scan at 20 weeks when I can get one for free then?? Anyway, a place about an hour away from here does them at 18 weeks, and on their website it says 'no guarantees for gender scans prior to 18 weeks', which I think could mean they will do them earlier. I've emailed and am waiting to see what they say. They only charge $60, so if they'll let me get one at 16-17 weeks I may go for it!

Flava
March 8th, 2012, 04:15 PM
Mocha- I would go too if I want to find out lol. And really a private place only see you at 20 weeks wth who want's to go there so late , right?

nicoler
March 9th, 2012, 03:51 PM
Saw this nub over on IG this morning that was just confirmed girl. UPDATE its a .....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!! page 5 - In-Gender.com (http://www.in-gender.com/cs/forums/t/242360.aspx?PageIndex=1)
This nub kinda reminds me of yours - but I think yours is less angled!

Mochagirl
March 9th, 2012, 04:17 PM
Nice! Thanks, nicoler! I'll never get tired of people telling me my baby could be a girl! ;)

Mochagirl
March 9th, 2012, 04:21 PM
I updated elsewhere, but I thought I'd mention here too that the u/s place got back to me, and they'll do a gender scan at 16.5 or 17 weeks, but without guaranteeing the results. It's only a 2D scan - how accurate do you think the results will be? Should I go for it?

nicoler
March 9th, 2012, 04:32 PM
I would think that as long as the tech is experienced - which I would trust he/she would be - they should be able to tell. As Canadians, we see those ultrasounds from the US all the time with 16 week gender shots that are clear as day. I had a private scan at 17 weeks and it was clear as day that my little guy was a HE. Maybe girls can be trickier? As long as there isn't a bunch of cord down there, you'd think they should be able to tell.

I bumped your post over on IG as well. If you are so inclined - you could alter your title to try and get Nicholerh's guess. She is a tech and accurately guessed my little guys tricky nub a couple years back. She's still pretty active over on IG and it seems like she rarely gets it wrong (or will at least give you a percentage guess of how confidant she is).

Mochagirl
March 9th, 2012, 04:36 PM

zanacal
March 10th, 2012, 04:24 AM
That's great about the potential 16/17 week ultrasound! I had mine done at exactly 16 weeks and it was very clear. They've also only ever looked at the potty shot in 2D, even at 27 weeks! I would definitely go for it!

Have you asked Coldwater or Foxy to have a look at your photos - both techs?

zanacal
March 10th, 2012, 04:27 AM
PS - I just looked at your thread on IG and there are no photos on there?! Also there are no guesses and I thought you had some. Is it IG gremlins at play?! Seems odd!

Mochagirl
March 10th, 2012, 07:21 AM
Weird...definitely sounds like IG gremlins - last I looked there were a couple of pages of responses! A few people have said they can't see the pictures, but I have no idea why because everyone else can see them.

Thanks again everyone for all the encouragement. I'm really scared to get my hopes up - I feel like I need to protect myself by assuming it'll be a boy until proven otherwise. I had a very, very strange birth dream last night where at the last moment I decided to have an unassisted home birth. All went well - it was an almost painless labour (I wish!) and I gave birth to a healthy baby boy. Then...this is where it gets weird. Fast forward to two days later and I suddenly realise I'd gotten busy with the other kids I'd completely forgotten about the baby and hadn't nursed him even once! After a frantic search for him, we found him in the same room I'd given birth in (in my Mom's house, for some reason), and he was a DOLL and not a baby! The whole dream freaked me out.

Mochagirl
March 11th, 2012, 02:07 PM
Thanks, Indira! I can't believe you're 20 weeks already! Are you finding out the gender?

Mochagirl
March 11th, 2012, 02:13 PM
I think I'm going to schedule my private u/s for 17 weeks - they'll only do it after 16.5 weeks anyway, so I might as well wait for the Saturday when it will be easier to get there, and I'll be exactly 17 weeks that day. The next 4 weeks feel like they're going to last forever. I'm really scared to get my hopes up it may be a girl, especially since I've gotten a few boy guesses on IG and most of the people saying girl are only giving it a slight girl lean. I can't even express how excited I'll be if I see girly bits at the scan! I'm scared to even hope it's going to happen.

zanacal
March 11th, 2012, 04:32 PM
It is scary, I have everything crossed for you though!

maybeoneday
March 11th, 2012, 04:49 PM
I have absolutely no idea on the gender but I am keeping everything crossed for you that it is a pink one, you so deserve it! Can't wait for the update in a few weeks. xx

Mochagirl
March 12th, 2012, 12:54 PM
Just for fun I just went and dug out my son's nub shots for comparison.

Here's one of my twins, at about 11.5 weeks:

1699

Here's ds3 at around 12 weeks - when I posted it on IG back then, I got inconclusive opinions, even from Charliecats:

1700

I know there's not much by way of nubs in either of these shots, but I can't help but notice that skull shape is very similar to my newest babe. What do you all think? Here's that picture again for reference:

1701

atomic sagebrush
March 12th, 2012, 12:59 PM
I think all the similarity in skulls tells you is that they are all your babies!

My boys all look highly similar on ultrasound, as did my niece.

Mochagirl
March 12th, 2012, 01:03 PM
Thanks, atomic. I hope you're right! Honestly, I'm starting to wonder how I'm going to keep my sanity for the next month or so!

nicoler
March 12th, 2012, 01:42 PM
Don't stress too much about the skull shape Mocha! It seems like its appearance can change from looking flatter to more rounded depending on the angle the tech is at.

The nub on this babe is so clear, I'm still hoping that Nicholerh on IG will guess for you!

Mochagirl
March 12th, 2012, 01:45 PM
Thanks, nicoler! I'm a worrier by nature and also a little obsessive, so unfortunately I doubt I'll be able to think of little else but what gender this babe is until I know for sure.

nicoler
March 12th, 2012, 02:44 PM
Totally understandable!! I haven't even begun trying to get pregnant yet and I'm already obsessed about the gender of my imaginary future baby!! Hopefully 6 months down the road, you'll be holding your baby girl and reassuring me about my own 12 week scan :bigsmile:

Mochagirl
March 13th, 2012, 10:16 PM
A good friend from my IG days just messaged me to say that she showed my picture to a nub-obsessed u/s tech friend of hers. Her verdict was that this nub is "definitely pink". I hope she's right! I'm still scared to even hope, and time seems to be crawling by....

lindi
March 13th, 2012, 10:26 PM
Mochagirl, this looks a lot like my nub. I did HT for a girl, and she's one month old now and most definitely a girl. do a search for my nub pics- I would but need to change a diaper

I just booked a gender scan for April 5th!! I can't believe I'll know in less than 3 weeks! Of course, I'll probably be so nervous going into it I'll feel like throwing up, but if I find out, it will make for the best Easter weekend EVER. I'll be en route to my Mom's house when I get the scan (we have to drive a while to get there, but luckily it's on the way), so I'll be able to announce the gender to my family...or not if I hear boy and need some time to process the news. I won't tell anyone I'm going, except maybe my Mom. At least a weekend away immediately afterwards will be a good distraction if I don't hear the news I want to hear....

I know - the pressure is just too much, isn't it?? In two weeks I'll either have all my dreams come through or will be dealt a major blow that's going to be hard to get over. I just wish I could stop thinking about it every second - maybe that would make time go more quickly.

I almost think the early ultrasound does us no favors! False hope or false despair - both are equally yucky.

Mochagirl
March 22nd, 2012, 11:51 AM
Yeah, I often wish I'd never heard of a nub. It really drives you crazy, especially when SO much of it is guesswork and also depends on the angle the shot was taken.

With my first pregnancy, even though I DESPERATELY wanted girls, I somehow lasted the whole pregnancy without finding out...and it was TWINS! Looking back, I have no idea how I did that - but then again, that's long before I found out about nubs, gender desire, etc. With DS3 I remember being impatient, but nothing like this. I knew about nubs by then since I was a regular on IG, but he had a crappy nub shot so no one really could guess - I think that was a blessing in disguise, and I didn't even try to get an early gender scan with him - I just waited until 20 weeks.

This time the wait is TORTURE. Getting so many girl guesses (especially the ones from the 3 techs both here and elsewhere) has really gotten my hopes up, and I'm sooooo scared my world's going to come crashing down around me if I don't end up hearing girl. How I envy people who get pregnant and genuinely don't care what gender they have!

IMO it's always those that "dont care what they have/had" that end up with a mix of genders

I just wanted to let you all know that your support means a lot to me :HH:. I know that you're all pulling for me to hear girl, and I also know that you'll all be there for me if I hear 'boy'. It's nice to be part of a community of people who understand. :HH:

I haven't told anyone in real life about the date of my scan other than my mom and DH - I just didn't want to have to face emails asking about the results if it does end up being a boy. Part of it is that I know some of my friends will be privately smug if it's a boy since they all think we shouldn't be having another baby, and those who knew about the swaying thought I was INSANE. I sooooo badly want to prove them wrong by having a girl. I joined this site almost a year ago, was on the LE diet for a total of about 6 months, and so this has been a looooong journey full of sacrifice and heartache. PLEASE let it all have been worth it!!!! :pray:

Of course now I'm scared my 20 week u/s will show something different. They didn't give me any potty shots but I watched very carefully and she showed me from every possible angle that there was no penis. I definitely saw 3 lines. She said she was 100 percent sure it's a girl.

My Mom and I went out shopping tonight. The only thing that was open late enough was Joe Fresh - a Canadian clothing store chain that's located inside grocery stores (it's nicer than it sounds). I found tons of 3-6 month winter clothes on sale (including some cute Christmas stuff) for about $3-4 a piece. I think my Mom had as much fun as I did - she paid for it all! :bigsmile:

Oooh, I love Joe stuff. It is good quality, cute and so cheap when it's on clearance!! Your mom must be as excited to shop for pink as you are!!

Mochagirl
April 5th, 2012, 11:15 PM
She is, nicoler. She has been very hesitant and almost distant through this whole process. She knew about the swaying and worried about me because of that, but I think her biggest worry was that she'd have to see my heart broken again like when I found out ds3 was a boy. When I told her it was a girl today she cried, and tonight while shopping she was the one who kept piling more clothes into my arms. I think she wanted me to have a girl almost as much as I did - she just never would have told me ;). She had 3 boys then a girl too, so somehow I feel this is all how it was meant to happen. I love that my little girl will grow up with 3 big brothers just like I did :HH:.

I haven't told them yet. I was going to wait to tell them until my 20 week u/s so I could be sure about the gender, but I don't think I can wait that long! They have all told me they want a baby sister :HH:. I'll be telling the rest of my family this weekend, so maybe I'll tell them at the same time.

I'm still not making any public FB announcements, though - I haven't even announced I'm pregnant there yet! I'm waiting until all my test results come in and I know the baby's healthy before I do that.
