Due in Sept/Oct/Nov 2015

My DH said with all 3 of our boys that they were boys right from the start. I don't dare ask what he think now! He said it was a girl without me asking at the very beginning. But I try and avoid the topic now!!

I hope you get your girl! It is so hard to feel the pressure from the ones you love! My boys are very vocal about wanting a little sister! So I am more afraid of disappointing them then my DH! I think it is so sweet that your DH longs for a dd so badly. I know my DH wants one but he just isn't so open about it. He actually used to say he was terrified of having a dd!!! :-/

Hello all!
My NT scan went really well! I don't know whether you remember my story or not, but I have two older girls, and my third, a boy, had a very serious and complex heart defect that unfortunately led to his passing at 6 weeks old. This is our rainbow baby, and it's been less than a year since my boy was born. The scan showed four functioning heart chambers, which my boy didn't have, and no signs of Downs or anything like that.

The only downside for me is that the tech made an early gender guess, and based on what she was seeing and the "nub theory," this baby is pretty clearly yet another girl. I know that it's still early (12+3), and that I had to be prepared for another girl, but the disappointment has set in. I'm trying to get over my disappointment with the welcome news of a happy, healthy baby. My husband is just annoyed with me for being upset; he's thrilled with another girl, although he would have welcomed a boy too. Thanks for your understanding!

Srg09cag11- congrats on a healthy nt scan!! 12+3 is early and still plenty of time for a nub to rise. Do you have a pic to post on the ultrasound board. Lots of ladies love to guess on there and they are pretty good!

Sorry again about your angel baby boy. I am sure he is always watching over you and your family.

I'm so sorry for your loss Srg [emoji22]. I cannot imagine...I agree that 12 weeks is still early. With both of my boys, the earliest we could tell was 13+3 and 13+6. Before that, the only clue was their skulls. They both had the classic flat area from forehead to brow bone. Do you have a pic?

I'm hoping that this is your boy!

So sorry for your loss srg, heart breaking. Can you post a nub PIC for us to guess off? 12 plus 3 is quite early especially for a girl XX

Sure! These are the only two full-body shots I got:
I'm having trouble rotating them though, sorry.
Attachment 24508
Attachment 24506

I also don't know why that one is posted twice. Oops!

Hey srg it does look pretty flat = girl but at 12, 3 plenty of time to rise plus it looks a little stacked ( end of nub) which would indicate a boy. Hopefully one of the experts can give you more!! Hoping its your wee dude XX

The first one makes me think boy and the second one the nub looks girly but it seems like it is stacking/swollen. The skull makes me think boy.

My vote- 60/40 boy

I'm no expert though- I just have two boys! I would post them on the ultrasound forum and see what others think.
