I think it's as close to 13 weeks as you can get. At 12 weeks it's 75% accurate, 95% at 13 weeks... and after that it can apparently be difficult to nub-guess for some reason.

I don't believe that, because I have always had dreams of both. The only dream I have had so far this time is one where the baby kicked it's way out of my stomach and I was holding it, trying to figure out how to stuff it back in. I couldn't see if it was a girl or a boy, but looked at the feet, which looked like mine, and decided it was probably a boy because both my daughters have my DH's feet. But then I stuffed the baby back in before I saw whether I was right. So I guess that dream was inconclusive!
Good luck with your scan pinkin!!
I've only ever had one dream of having a baby girl! :p
No, it was a very bizarre dream after I had DS 3 but before I swayed with DS 4 that weirdly has kind of come true. (It's posted on Ingender back in 2008 so I'm really not making it up!!) I dreamed that my husband and older sons were doing all this construction work in our living room, and there was DS 3 but older (like the age he is now) and then there was another boy who was an older toddler (like the age DS 4 is right now) walking around, and I could see a little baby girl sitting on a blanked across the room, and there was sawdust flying and nails on the floor and I felt like she was my daughter but she didn't look familiar, it was like I had never seen her before. I couldn't get to her, because my husband had all this construction stuff in the way and the older boys kept coming up and interrupting me. I just had this real sense of urgency that if I couldn't get past all the stuff in the way and get to her, she was going to vanish or be hurt. And strangely, that's almost exactly what happened. My husband was doing all this construction that was "in my way" in the sense of using time and money, and my older sons needed attention/money too and of course the little boys are always underfoot, and logically it made no sense to TTC when I did, but it was like I had to decide to get past all that stuff and do whatever I could do to get her. That was actually the last month I was even going to try without protection because my cutoff was Dec. 8 when I would be 41 and a half. I got pg on Nov. 20.
PS - good luck Pink!! :)
Atomic, that is a crazy dream--how cool that you "predicted" your daughter!
well ladies for me all my dreams this pregnancy are me having a boy. Most dreams are of the ultra sound where the tech clearly shows me cracking set of balls and his penis.
Today i went with family to put some of grandads ashes at a plot near us with his mum and dad (most ashes with his wife in scotland on the window cill with the cats and dogs :( ), we then went onto a carvery which was yummy but im stuffed now.
Hope all you lovely ladies and beans are well x
If this is any reassurance, I had both girl and boy dreams and I am having a girl. I don't think dreams can really predict gender, but mostly are your unconscious playing out your dreams and your fears/worries. However, I do believe we do get glimpses of our future and sometimes those can be seen in a detailed dream, i.e. what Atomic experienced. Atomic's dream is very eerie in a way, but I believe it was definitely a message.
So, I guess what I am trying to say is, if you have a short casual dream about gender, that is proabbly jut your unconcious working thru the issues. I had a dreams where I saw a penis on the U/S screen, and I believe for my brain it was like a "what if?" exercise, to get me prepared to hear any. But the girl dreams were very, very vivid and I felt deep in my core. The boy dreams felt more like to me more of my brain just bouncing back the 'fear' I was sending it.
Just my two cents about it
Thanks everyone !! I am so nervous this morning.
I had a dream last night I gave birth to a baby girl I felt the birth in my dream she was 8 pounds and had lots of black hair , she was so beautiful and I put her in a pink stripe jumpsuit she was a little doll. even tho you cant tell at newborn stage but i even said she had brown eyes???? So weird. I saw a card reader close to my house and cara the internet one said i will have a girl with dark hair so maybe thats why i had a dream about it.. just making things up in my head! sad sad!
Good luck at your scan! Is it today? I thought it was tomorrow.
Thank you! Its today.. in 4 hours
:luck: good luck Pinkin xxx
Have a good scan, pinkin!
Thanks HappyLea
Thanks Mocha! Hey Mocha were you 12 weeks and 4 days with your scan?
Good Luck Pinkin! My daughter has here 13W scan and she drank OJ 1/2 hr before the scan so the baby will get some sugar and move around a lot. And baby was jumping all over the place! :running:
Thanks Grandma-Ama! I am eating a nice big fruit salad right now!
Good luck with scan cant wait to hear:.)
I am 12 weeks 2 days from LMP today. I hope I get some good pics too!
Had my scan have worst headache!! I really think looks like a boy! But all healthy so thats the main thing! I added my pics to the ultrasound board if you want to have a guess for me!
I will have a look at your pics Pinkin. I'm excited for you! So nice to see your little bub in there hey. I saw my OB for the first time today (as had the other 2 in WA). She was ultra relaxed and lovely and I felt so much happier after I had seen my little baby bouncing around in my belly. They even gave me a little wave...not bad for 10 weeks I thought. Must be all those fish oil capsules! I felt so crappy and down yesterday, but this morning cheered me up. I have made my next u/s appt for 12 weeks and 5 days. DH won't be able to go to that one either. I think he will finally see the baby when it comes out!
I am quite concerned about my pic but really there is nothing I can do about it so just got to be happy its healthy! My hubby didnt come with me either I had a friend come with me, They found it real hard to get pics of the baby so the ones i put up were the best of the lot. Let me know what you think dont be scared to say boy!
So nice that you took a friend. Have you told DS1 yet? I can't wait to tell my boys but am holding off a little longer.
I guessed girl as I thought if it was a nub in the first pic it is flat. Some of the others will pipe in soon and say if it is a nub or not. I wish I was better at them, but have only even started trying to figure them out for a couple of months. Ultra cute baby though...takes after its mum!
awww ha ha thanks!! Yeah I have no clue at all but for some reason just by looking at it i think its a boy? Funny tho because it looked different on the screen then in the pics.
I took my ds with me he watched for a bit but the played with his toys. He wants a baby sister even starts to tear up when i mention a boy! I have alot of work ahead of me for him and myself!
That is really sweet that he wants a sister. I have asked mine hypothetically before and DS1 wants a sister (he loves playing with girls) and DS2 changes his mind frequently. DS2 drew a picture on the weekend and it was a baby brother and its mummy and daddy. The baby did have 3 eyes, but hey!
Ha ha aww how cute is that! Yeah well I am going to have to really try and talk him around! Not going to be easy but he will be right
You may not need to don't forget! I am sure when it arrives and it is 'his' special baby, he will be just fine.
I'm leaning slightly boy pinkin, sorry not what you want to hear :(
Thats ok TTC5!! I want honest answers!
Pinkin thats one cute baby you have in there, i too think slight lean boy but i think its a hard one to call tbh. Hope your headache is getting better.
Well my 2 eldest have just left for school, DS2 is 4 tomorrow so im off to go get him his birthday present today...nothing like abit of last minute shopping....lol!
pinkin how old is your DS?
did you think you saw a nub during the scan itself? with DS, I was certain I saw a boy nub when they were panning through that area.
D/s Will be 4 in sept.
No i didnt see a nub in my ultrasound I couldnt make anything out
