12-13wk nub? shot - please guess! 1st post edited....

Edit: Just bumping this again because I'm going to and fro over thinking it looks girly!

According to me, I'm 12wks+1, maybe one day over or 2 days under. According to the measurements, baby is 13weeks exactly. I have never EVER measured ahead so having happy thoughts about not going overdue for once and worried thoughts about diabetes.

Anyway - please take a look and let me know what you think.

These parallel white lines were visible several times during the scan, never pointing upwards at all and never with something above that looked boyish. I know you can't see a clear nub, but these lines seem pretty girly to me - or am I seeing things based on my own desire? Actually I'm not sad about the idea of having a boy at the moment, but I'd still really love a girl!

Hmm... not sure. Do you have any other pics with the nub in it?

No, sadly! You aren't allowed to take pics or videos and the pics were £5 each!!!! I did see lots of glimpses just like the second shot but couldn't really talk about nubs as MIL was with me and I didn't want her to know!

Hmm - lots of views and few replies - does this mean it isn't very clear or are people worried about disappointing me? :S

i'm not really sure the pictures are fuzzy, if I was gonna guess I would say girl based off of the second picture if that is the nub

I would say girl too same argument as dloui.

I'm not sure, but I think you are seeing that fork in the 1st pic, am I right :)? I'm curious to hear what the experts see here.

looks girly to me!!!:)

i don't see a nub, but good luck

I don't see a nub.

I guess girl

My guess would be a girl too, based on horizontal lines there :)

I think girl.

Also, re measuring ahead, when you're early on in pregnancy, they are not going off the size of the baby, they're going off the actual developmental stage the baby is in. They can look for structures forming and pinpoint the age of the baby with high reliablility. Only into the late second and third trimester, does the baby start getting larger or smaller due to diabetes or any other factor. No baby at 12-13 weeks has any body fat or can be heavier than another baby; all their energy is going into developing, not putting on weight. So the good news is, you do not need to worry about diabetes, the bad news is, you may have conceived earlier than you believe that you did.

I think girl but it isnt very clear. Good luck x

My first thought was a Girl

Thanks everyone! I'm thinking the second pic and those horizontal lines are looking more girl than boy though not clear enough to feel positive. The thing is, I saw those lines several times, always long, flat, level with spine. The best view was with babe rotated towards us and there was a pretty good nub view with the lines looking just like they do in pic2. Definitely long with lines under and very flat, but then I've just seen a nub like that which was actually boy! Ahhhh - don't want to get my hope up given that, but there was a real sense it was a girl based on the nub while I watched.

Oh atomic thanks for that about sizes! Thing is I am positive I could only have o-d a max of 36 hrs before when I marked in, and most likely only 24. Definitely not even 3 days and impossible to have been 6 so maybe the measurements were out - it was a midwife in training doing them but her supervisor agreed. I'm only worked if it means any pressure to induce if I go overdue again though!

Girl

Looks like the baby has its hands down there, too hard to guess.

Cinss - which pic did you mean about the hands? I know for the second one that baby's hands were up round the face just before the pic was taken but yes, I'd have thought the arm nearest to us would be showing more! Hmmm - another thing to wonder about...

Anyone else got any thoughts?

From the 2nd pic I am leaning girl, just by a bit. GL! :)

Bumping - any more guesses?

Another shameless bump - I added some more info to the first post.

Please let me know what you think I'm seeing on the second pic!

The parallel white lines were what I saw so clearly at my early u/s and it was indeed a girl.

Girl 💗

Gentle - did you find out yet or when is your next scan?

A small update - I had my 20wk scan about a week ago and told the tech that I didn't want to be told the gender but that I didn't mind catching a glimpse so not to worry about avoiding the potty shot. I thought that would be my perfect solution to not knowing whether I want to find out or not!

Well, I watched SOOOOO carefully and couldn't see any obvious penis and there were some potty shots I think, in passing and a longer look towards the end. But I didn't have the greatest viewing angle and I didn't know exactly what I was looking at so I'm leaning girl and happy with whatever we are blessed with.

FX and TX for you! You're one tough mama not to cave in and find out!!
