Due in December/January/February 2013/14

Well I had my 11 week appointment with my fantastic obstetrician today and told him we will find out gender ASAP. He gave me a scan and looked down there, while commenting that the NT scan place at 12 weeks was having amazing success determining gender and I could probably find out then. He lined up a potty shot angle and immediately when he and I saw the screen we looked at eachother, I said "I saw that" and he laughed, and asked what I thought that was, I said "it's a boy isn't it?" And he said "I'm almost certain, it's early, but I don't see that turning into a vagina". It was literally a penis length bit sticking out between the legs. I'm 99% sure it wasn't cord because of the way it ended and where it was.

I didn't ask for a nub shot because I had no doubt. But now at home I'm desperate to convince myself it could be wrong! I thought at 11 weeks it couldn't even BE a penis but it seriously looked like one.

I got no pic of it.

Hi ladies, thank you so much for the warm welcome. Means a lot. I am due February 27th, so just one day after you! I go in again today for a quick heartbeat check because I am that crazy patient :) will be sure to update. My dr is awesome so I get to go for weekly checks until 12 weeks.

No real sickness, just light nausea, no vomiting or anything...more just that icky tummy feeling sometimes. Very tired though and I don't remember being super tired like this when I was pregnant with DD (with her I wasn't pukey sick either). The other weird thing is that I am like super out of breath all the time. I know with the HE diet, I did gain 15 lbs but seriously :) my dr told me that is actually completely normal for pregnancy although I do already feel huge with this one. We didn't sway at all with this one...after our MMC we just want a healthy baby, which is what we are praying for, though we did use preseed, prenatals, B complex (cycles all messed up after D&C) and were bd every other day or so...DD was a one hit wonder after abstain with no preseed (hubby was gone for work for 3 weeks in Canada) so at least that is quite different. I feel like it will be a girl though, seems like a similar pregnancy to our DD and at 8 weeks, 5 days last week heartbeat was 176 - that means girl, right? I have been doing acupuncture and was when I got pregnant, she told me that that really increases fertility, so maybe that helped me to get pregnant?

I am so happy for all of you, many of whom I was swaying with in the past. Meeks, congratulations to you! I go for my NT scan at the end of the month though we are not yet sure that we are finding out gender besides here I don't think they will even venture a guess that early. I really just don't want to feel disappointed at all - though I don't think I will. More than anything we wanted to give DD a sibling.

Sorry for all of those feeling down :( That can be tough and I am thinking of you. Our bodies are just going through so much right now, and maybe it is a sign of all those extra girly hormones in there? I sure hope you all get what you'd like to have.

Meeks-11weeks is way to early for a gender confirmation. I've never even thought that was an option bc it's not possible to know at 11w. I don't know if you've looked at nub shots but some of these nubs are very long and they are girls! It's crazy how long they are. That's why I'm so bad at guessing bc that always throws me off. Maybe ask on here about a dr guessing at 11w and see what people say. Also take a look at the 85 pages of confirmed in gender girl nubs and I am sure it will help put your mind at ease!

Don't worry yet! ((((Hugs))))

Soar nubs I get, but have never thought to look at potty shots at 11w, because I know they aren't that developed then. He was just looking for fun but my gosh it was obvious and long.

I'm joining the depressed group now. Boy number 3, will take me a while to get over my GD I think.

My sister literally just said "score!" When I told her. She doesn't want me to have a girl because we like the same name. I am so angry

Meeks I refuse to believe its DS3! Not yet.....!!! Hang on to that dream. That guess is way to early. Since I said it.....it must be so! For real don't count yourself out yet! Your sway was brilliant that counts too!

Meek i think 11 weeks is too early.. As bith genders look alike at that stage. I remember eith my svan which was at 12w1d atomic said it was way to early. Fingers crossed for u, try not to worry x

Don't stress yet Meeks hopefully you can get a clear pic soon 16 weeks plus would be more accurate ( hugs) xx

Meeks - I wouldn't guarantee a boy either - but I can fully appreciate you feeling that way. I would try to prepare yourself for boy so that you could be pleasantly surprised. I seriously wouldn't fully count yourself out though. It's hard to know, some people get accurate guesses so early on.. others don't so it's really unpredictable! I had my 20 week ultrasound last week and when I got home I saw my picture has a line on it where nubs usually are and I'm convinced it's a penis. My husband is like "it's not a penis, you can even see legs in the picture and it's coming out of it's stomach" but natural I'm just assuming and trying to search side gender shots at 20 weeks lol. We aren't finding out, but still I'm just now assuming it's boy. All this to say, I know it's harder to do than say!!

MsB-I like your thinking. It makes sense to prepare yourself so its not a total shock if it isn't your DG. I like the advice on here and support! Just think if we ran the world it would be such a nice supportive place!
