New to me OWT - based on u/s from 8-10 weeks only

OK...this is a fun one! The saying is if baby is curled up (looks like a lima bean) in a 8-10 week u/s pic it is a boy and if baby is laying straight, it is a girl. I have never heard this before so thought it would be fun to test it out. Post your u/s pics or say if it works for you.

Here is an example - baby on left is curled and baby on right is straight.

Oh my, NC! Mine was laying straight, arms and legs spread out, I remember thinking what a great picture. So, I went right away to check my boys' u/s pics: DS2 was actually more curled up, DS1 pics are beginning to fade so it's hard to tell. Now you've got my hopes up! We only have to wait till Monday to find out if it's right

Oooh, interesting! My son was definitely curled up -

I think this was 8 weeks, 6 days.

The lady that I read this from has 6 kids and it worked for all of her kids!

Ds2=curled (I think) Oops! This pic was at 7 weeks...supposed to only be 8-10 weeks! Don't know about Ds2 then!

The boy I am carrying now was curled up, but I can't compare it to my girls because I didn't have a u/s before 12 weeks with them. Hope its right for you

Here is ThreeMen&ALady's 10 week pic from her DD...hard to tell if straight or curled...I'm going with straight since body is straight.

So I had an ultrasound and it was dated 7 and 3 but I was suppose to be 8 and 1. I wonder if mine would be accurate. I think baby was straight, have to look again.

DS 1... I can't really tell? Maybe straight?
DS2's u/s was during the 7th week

DS3 10w2d if it still counts... I dunno he was laying straight then he rolled over away from us lol. It's so strange to see the difference a couple of weeks makes! I hadn't really compared between the kids, I just compared each one's pics to themselves!

Weird I vaguely remember DDs u/s at 10 weeks and she wasnt curled up. Never had one for the boys that early so who knows

Interesting and fun theory, but my logic tells me that all little babies would be curled up and stretched out at some point while growing and it is just a matter of timing to get the pic to see what bubba was doing that particular minute.
