Totally been stalking your posts! Hoping you get some good shots!
Come on lady how did it go ?????????
Sorry guys, I failed to mention that my scan was later in the day. I just got home. I got some shots, and the babies are much bigger, but I don't know if the nubs are very clear. I'm about 95% sure that baby B is a boy...not so sure about baby A. They gave me a disc of all the shots, so I'm going to have to figure out how to get them off the disc and post them. Give me a little bit...still have to get kids down for a nap too...I'll be back soon, but wanted to at least give this quick update...
The skulls look very different so one of each makes sense to me if there is any truth in the skull theory. I do hope one is your DD. The odds are definitely with you for that!
From what I've read-
Order of frequency:
1. fraternal boy/girl
2. fraternal girl/girl
3. fraternal boy/boy
4. identical girl/girl
5. identical boy/boy
Thanks, NBP! I'm working on getting the pics onto my computer right now so I can share them here. Hopefully the nubs are clear enough for a good guess. Baby B is, to me at least, pretty obviously a boy. Thinking *maybe* girl for Baby A, but really not sure. Feeling really scared right now, as I'm pretty sure I'm going to be a mom of at least 3 boys...maybe 4. Holding onto hope that just one is a girl, I would be totally happy with that (please, God!). Anyway, I'd love to hear what others think...
Oh, and I did want to add some stats: Both babies are measuring at 13 weeks, so right on track. They're both 3 inches CRL, and both have heart rates of 160 bpm. Baby A was moving around, but pretty calm; Baby B was wild! It was amazing to watch them on the screen, I could never tire of seeing my babies during an ultrasound, it's such an awesome experience. :awe:
Ok, off to work on getting these pics uploaded here...
Sorry about that, I just posted the whole thread and then noticed that all my personal info was still on the pics (oops!) so I had to re-do the post.
Anyway...here are the pics. I hope I'm finally doing it right now, and the pics aren't too big or anything. After reviewing these again myself, I am almost certain that Baby B is a boy. I'm thinking Baby A *might* be a girl, but maybe I'm just desperate and grasping at straws. There's one shot of Baby A that looks kind of girly to me, BUT he/she looks like they're stretching (the spine doesn't look at all curved, like the baby is stretching out), so I don't know if that affects the accuracy of the nub angle or not. What do you think?
Here is Baby B. For some reason, I got a lot of profile shots of Baby B, but not so many of Baby A. Let me know what you think...

And here is Baby A. There are only two good profile shots of this baby, so hopefully we can determine something from these. Like I said above, I'm really worried about the fact that the only good girly nub I see is when the baby looks to be stretched out (unless I'm wrong, but it looks to me like the baby is stretching). I don't know if this skews the accuracy of nub guessing or not. Anyway...let me know what you think...

I'd love to hear your guesses...and please be honest! I value your opinions. Thanks, ladies! :)
Aw no i'm going mad with the suspense!!!!!!
Did they give you a guess?
MrsP, the tech wouldn't say, but she said that the nubs "did seem to be a bit different from each other." I really don't think this place is good with early gender guessing. And sorry for the wait - I was having technical difficulties! :p
i'm not brill at this but i'm not convinced the first is a boy - i still think you have at least one girl x
Lovely seeing more twins shots though - do you have any more of them together side by side like before, just cause they are so darn cute?
No, unfortunately she couldn't get any good side-by-side shots. They were being too wiggly (esp. Baby B!). ;)
Boy/Girl- one of each!
Oooh, I like this response! You sound so sure! How sure are you, NBP??Quote:

If you have any additional images it could be helpful to see more views. Baby B looks like a clear bump to me and I bet the potty shot would look like a boy there.
I'm not certain. Just my best guess. Without a video, it's hard to be any kind of certain with these shots.
Thanks for your response, NBP! :agree: I agree that it's hard to tell about Baby A, since he/she seemed to be stretching in that shot. And I just went through all of the pics again, and there are no other nub shots of Baby A - just these two. What do you think about the other shot of Baby A, the one that he/she doesn't seem to be stretching in?
B is a boy for sure. A looks very promising for a girl (80% sure).
Thank you for your reply, lovemy4! I hope you're right! I'm so mad that I didn't speak up and ask for a better shot of Baby A's nub. I can't believe that those two shots are the only ones I got, and the baby is stretching...but then got 4 shots of Baby B, all of which clearly show that he's a boy.
Ahhh, I have to wait another two weeks until I go for my elective gender scan. I'm seriously going to go crazy! :p
Anyone else care to venture a guess??
I think you have boy/girl there :)
Thank you, Bimby! I *so* hope you're right! :pray:
Anyone else? I'd love to have a few more guesses...I'm really obsessing over here, LOL ;)
B is a boy!
I'm not sure on baby A, leaning a little bit more boy like 60/40.
I'm guessing boy for baby B and girl for baby A. I hope I'm right! Good luck for your next scan!
I can't guess but I do have a general observation about twins, I know 3 women with twins born in the past year, and all of them have twin girls. I don't know any other couples with twins other than my mum's friend who had a boy/girl combo. It just seems 2 x girls are more common than 1 of each, or 2 x boy.
This seems to back up this theory:
Twin Gender Statistics - In-Gender.com
Not sure, but as a guess. Twin A leaning Girl and Twin B thinking boy. They do look a bit diff, but then looking back at my scan pic's until they were 16wks+ if I was a stranger having a guess, I wouldn't perhaps say both girls. So I'd say it's looking good you have one little pretty PINK baby in there and perhaps a handsome brother to look out for her? xx
Twin b Boy
Twin A Girl can't see anything remotely boyish on this baby
Really hope I'm right Hun. Xxx
Ive no idea at all hunny but hope to god you get your dd in there but either way twins is going to be such a special blessing so you are lucky no matter what sex they are.
Good luck. Fingers crossed. PS Amari just had 1 of each so it is possible :-)
sorry, I'd guess 2 boys as I think A has quite an angle of nub in the bottom pic... but I really hope you have a girl in there. Will you be having a gender scan?
At 13 weeks I'd expect more of an angle for baby a if it was a boy and the back looks a little arched. I guess girl for a and boy for b
I thought Baby A's nub looked girly but I'm not sure at all about Baby B - Sorry.
11 weeks is super early though, either way, good luck :)
Just looked at the 13 week photos (sorry I missed them the first time) and I do think Baby B is a boy.
I'm sticking to my gut feeling which says A is a girl, B is a boy, and the nub shots, while not great for A, are keeping me convinced that A is surely a girl. :agree:
Thank you! I'll have to go check out that link. NBP posted something similar about the likelihood of twin genders a few pages back, too. :agree:Quote:

This tech is supposed to be really good, so hopefully she'll be able to shed some light on what genders the babies are!Quote:

I am on pins and needles, and although I'm ashamed to admit this, I broke down and cried a little bit today (stupid hormones, ha!). This is my last chance at ever having a daughter, so I am really, really hoping and praying that Baby A turns out to be a girl.
Anyway, I'm welcoming any and all guesses! Keep 'em coming ladies! ;)
PS: And if anyone has ever seen a (later confirmed girl or boy) nub shot where the baby was stretching, please do share! I keep going back and forth on Baby A's nub shot...feeling optimistic, then later feeling hopeless...bc the baby is stretching and it's so hard to tell the angle in this pic.
Any more guesses?
Hey sweetpea - since you guessed on my photos I'll give it my best guess on your updated ones... but please take it with a grain of salt! I probably don't know what I'm saying! But I've stared at so many nubs now because of obsessing over my own that I have seen patterns, but hey... you know... I'm still not very good! :P
Baby B looks boy to my untrained eyes.
Baby A I'm giving a lean to girl, mainly because of remaining questioning of the arch of the back and whether or not that'd even affect much at 13+ weeks, however the nub seems different in that it looks forked almost from what I understand about forked nubs and in general the lines seem different then Baby B's...
Fingers crossed. I think the statistics others have posted would put things on your side, but if it does happen to be two boys... and considering they are less common compared to other gender combinations of fraternal twins - that would be special, too.
Thank you, suregena! :) I really appreciate your detailed guess! :agree: And I really, really hope you're right. As I'm sure many do on this site, I'm just going crazy, wanting to know! I really hope we both get our girls - your baby's nub looks SO promising, I'd pretty much be shocked if you didn't have a girl cooking in there! ;)
Here's hoping... I have 1 week to go... ugh. I WILL be happy with a boy... but all this gender obsessing I got myself into when stumbling on this website I think has done stuff to me... hahah. I just read a thread of a lady on here who had ALL very sure girl nub guesses and the nub WAS flat (but didn't see a fork in it or anything... which I don't even know if that means anything since boys supposedly can have those too?) but she updated it was a boy.
So you just never know. It's hard to not be completely obsessed... I'm crossing fingers for both of us! <3
Omg I'll be stalking this thread on Thursday then! So exited for you! Remember than twins is almost even more special than getting a girl, so even if it were two boys you will still have a very special time. But I think it's a boy and a girl.Quote:
