Ok here is the very confusing shot. Very boyish skull, & I thought the sticking up thing was the nub, BUT, the sono said "No that's not the nub - THIS is the nub" & put the pointer on it. She knew we were nub hunting so she said "I'll leave the marker there for you for when you're looking later." So we have a short nub (male) on a horizontal angle (female) with a round skull (male). I still think boy.

Now, here is something that makes me a little hopeful. A potty shot - yes yes I know not accurate at this stage BUT, I am measuring 14 weeks tomorrow. So photo one is my photo. Photo 2 is a potty shot of a confirmed girl at 14 weeks. They are nearly identical.

Its a girl ! Diffently
I think girl!! I think even though the nub you got is short, it is definitely the right angle:). I would be comparing 13 week nub shots. I doubt you see many boy ones like this;)
O. And with the potty shot showing lines I think it is a good sign! Even though it is early for that position.
I agree with Queen B congrats hunny!!! Although the two lines are short they are VERY flat! Looks like you will be shopping pink!! Definitely post on babynub.com (I sound like their sales rep) but they took the time to draw on my pics I asked and tell me how confident they were! Also I have seen them guess on potty shots at this gestation Xxxx

So I posted my pics & info in the US Forums & got mostly pink guesses... Even Atomic guessed pink, based on her own pink ultrasound at the same gestation. So.... ????? I'm still focussing on blue til my morphology scan. I really don't want to be disappointed. (Hubby on the other hand has pulled out the pink blankie he was crocheting & started again!)
I love your husband Primal!! I hear you! My gender scan is Friday I have serious hope for pink but think I have prepared enough (well I hope for blue) ....
I agree atomic does not comment unless she is SURE!! Go on have a wee pink day dream
Xxxxx

Omg..I agree. How cute is that ur hubby will crochet a blankie. I hope And pray that ur family gets the much deserved girl
Primal, I believe you have a girl growing in there. At this stage, I'd expect the nub to be shorter, it's heading toward the body. And the potty shot, although early, shows nothing but lines. I'd anticipate SOME sort of scrotum to be forming if the baby was a boy. Heck, we confirmed our first son as a boy at 13+2 or so. It was pretty clear at that gestation with him. And I don't believe in the skull theory one iota. All my babies looked similar in that regard. I'm with your husband, pull out the pink blankies! Exciting for you :) :) :)
I think girl as well.
Good luck Primal! Looking pretty girly!
It probably sounds silly but I'm just so worried the tech was mistaken & the nub is the sticking up bit. She said that was leg & cord but I keep looking at it thinking she was wrong.......
Its not silly, its just hard to believe or let yourself believe when you were so sure you would see a boy nub! Looks like a cord to me!! Try and enjoy your pink daydream even if you only let yourself do it for a day!! When will you have your little lady confirmed? Xx

Hopefully the week before Xmas. I was just thinking too, what exactly am I worried about? If the tech WAS wrong what does that mean - that I'm having a super cute little boy! Who cares, really?! If that's the "worst" that can happen that's pretty great really!! If baby does turn out to be a girl I'm going to tell my parents we couldn't see & then wrap up something pink & frilly for them under the Xmas tree! 😄
.
Could not agree more!! I will be reminding myself that on Friday honey thanks. Sooo love your idea for your parents they would be sooooo shocked and happy!! I too have daydreamt about how I will tell people but Im sure to always include a 'girl' and 'boy' version hehe!! Xxxx

Ok here is a shot I couldn't upload before, Photo A is my baby & Photo B is a confirmed boy at the same gestation. Assuming the tech was right about what bit the nub is then it's a pretty big difference. I know my baby's back is flat & the other is curved but even so Photo B's nub is angled significantly more up & has a knobby bit at the end. My baby's does not. Oh dear I so did not want to nubsess!!! 😞 Attachment 22091
Good luck primal! I think if the technician said where she drew the spot is a nub then thats very girlie! I would of guessed boy based on the little thing sticking up, but the tech told u that was the cord right? I would have high hopes based of that nub! Congrats :)
Primal I think you could be pink shopping soon yay :)
Kitkat I will be on the lookout for your news on Friday :)
No my DH doesn't know yet because I dont know lol. The anomaly scan is tomorrow and he has told me to find out. I said I won't call him after but I'll tell him when he gets home so I can see his face. I'm so glad I know it's a girl though cos his family have been unbearable with the "we need a girl" comments!
StephK My mother-in-law has been a nightmare, but for the opposite reason. She has 4 sons no daughters & is a terribly bitter & jealous person. So she doesn't want us to have a daughter. She says it's because she thinks boys are better & girls are "unnecessary" but I know her well enough after 12 years to know that she's just bitter. Even my father-in-law (they're divorced) said they both wanted a daughter which is why they went back 4 times. She is also strangely religious, involved only relatively recently in one of these pseudo Christian cults. So yesterday she sends me the most INSANE message which I will post here so you can see what I mean about her being a nutcase!! Honestly, now I hope the baby IS a girl just to spite her!!
"Really a boy would be better all round I think, easier for everyone and much better for the boys to have a little brother rather than to confuse things with a sister. Either way, the health of the baby and mother is what is most important and God will give unto you a blessed baby of His chosen gender, perfectly designed. Amen. :-)"
I'm so wildly angry about it.
It looks like a girl, you can definitely tell at 13 weeks as well. that's awesome so happy for you!
Steph...ur hubby doesn't yet know the gender??? Wow, u r good :)))
Primal, we must have the same mother in law coz that sounds exactly like mine..ugh!!
Ugh you have my pity Odd! Brings a new meaning to "Monster In Law" doesn't it?! She has 4 adult sons, her husband has 6 adult children & they are estranged from all of them. Between the 2 of them there are 9 grandchildren, 7 of them they have never met, the other 2 (my boys) are only able to see her supervised by us & we do not allow them to see her husband whatsoever as we suspect he may have molested some or all of his children. They only live one street away so it is a really foul situation.
Yes, because it's wildly confusing for your boys to have a little sister versus a little brother. You know, that pink onesie can really cause problems for older brothers. There have probably been thousands of older brothers in therapy because they had little sisters instead of little brothers.....(insert GIANT eye roll here).
But I feel ya. My MIL is also a complete whack-a-doodle. She says the opposite kind of stuff though. She desperately wanted a daughter (has two sons) and has rooted for every grandchild she has had (4 for us and 1 for DHs brother) to be a girl. But the funny part is that she doesn't give two seconds of care toward ANY of her grandchildren. Heck, she didn't even meet Dhs brothers baby until a few weeks ago (he is 4 months old!) But she always makes rude comments about how she figured we "could produce a couple of granddaughters for her" and how "it would be a shame if this was another boy." I actually find it a little vengefully delightful to produce so many boys :) My SIL is has a son, we have two (and I do suspect a third on the way, although def not for sure. Just a hunch). So my daughter is her only granddaughter. And she acts like she doesn't exist too. So at least the treatment is fair. Haha!!
Yes Hotdogz, terribly confusing, all those pink onesies and - gasp - a VAGINA! How will my children cope if this baby IS one of those girl-monsters!? No boy in the history of humankind has ever had a baby sister & come out unscathed! 😜
I get frightfully defensive of my sons too, every "FX this one is a girl" comment makes me bristle... Yes I want a daughter but that is my desire to carry not anyone else's, & my boys are awesome so another boy would be equally fantastic.
And how bizarre is your MIL's behaviour? You would think she would be showering unequalled affection on her single granddaughter. I'm glad she isn't for your sons/nephews sakes but it doesn't make sense that a girl is the holy grail & yet she doesn't pay her any attention. Odd.
Omg I cannot believe your mother in laws- primal I hope you have a girl too just to spite the horrible woman. I can't believe she wrote that. People really should keep such thoughts to themselves, they don't realise (I hope) the effect they have on you, and also your children if they can also hear it.
I'm SO sorry Steph I thought you wrote that message for some reason but it was Hotdogz! I will edit it now! I'm sure your mother in law is not a nutter like ours!!
Kitkat I can't work out how to post to babynub.com I've been trying since Tuesday & there doesn't seem to be anywhere on the site for me to start a new thread, even after following the directions in the "help" section.
Oh well. I wish I could stop nubsessing I swore I wouldn't but it's all gone out the window I'm trolling the Internet day & night for nub pics & can't even sleep properly. I hope it settles down soon! I've still got 5 weeks til my morph scan & I will be a nervous wreck by then. I'm actually regretting having the NF scan done at all now.
I don't have a MIL but some other members of his family make up for nuttiness :)
Its a girl ladies!!!!! Beyond excited Xxxx
