Nub different from 18 weeks ??

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum and i've come for help !
At our NT scan at 12 weeks we got what i thought was a clear "girl" image for nub... i couldn't find the best picture, but it was absolutely parallel to the spine... So all those weeks we were thinking we were having a girl and our 3yo daughter was so thrilled ! Now at 18.5 weeks, we have a (?) clear image of a baby boy.. ! Just want your opinions as i am quite shocked and confused right now.. thinking of going for a 3D to confirm, i guess part of me doesn't want to believe it as i have to admit, i can't help feeling a little disappointed...

that's all boy!! Congrats mama! Good Luck with the 3d

Definitely looks like a baby boy in that second image. At 12 weeks boys & girls still look very similar, and a seemingly flat nub can still rise & change shape. I would never recommend depending on a nub shot UNLESS it were at 13w (both GA and by measurement) and a very clear shot, or perhaps between 12-13w but very boyish (stacked & angled looking). Even then i would not depend completely on a nub shot or tell other people. Unfortunately since boys begin the same as girls, a supposed girl at 12w can always 'turn into' a boy later.

I hope you come to terms with this surprise and I'm sorry you are feeling disappointed. Had you hoped for a girl from the start or had you just become accustomed to the idea of a second girl?

I agree with you both.. and as you mentioned, from starting to TTC until the 12 weeks, we really didn't have much of a preference... i guess already having a girl made it "easier" in my mind.. and then we just got accustomed to the idea.. so i think we are more shocked than disappointed really...i'm sure we'll come around to the idea - still have loads of time ! Should really be thankful our little baby seems healthy !

The nub is angled up and that's a clear boy! Congrats!!

Def boy, in both I think!
Boys are awesome and 1 of each, although you may not think this now will probably save you some heartache later when maybe you may think you're missing something with 2 of a kind:) although not everyone is like that but there's lots on this site lol

definitely a boy

That is a boy congrats,

12 weeks is not accurate for gender determination. 18 weeks is. Congrats on a baby boy.
