pregnancy after so many losses...boy or girl nub?? please help
Hi all I am so thankful I have found this site, I am pg with pregnancy number 14 (baby number 15) I have given birth to two beautiful live boys , but heartbreakingly our youngest passed aged 4 months due to prematurity issues so the baby i am carrying now is our precious rainbow and we can only pray for the best outcome. I am so scared because of all of our losses 11 miscarriages and 1 neonatal I love my unborn baby so very much and part of me tells me its a girl although i know statistically its most likely a boy due to me having two boys however i did not find out the genders of all of my losses and its possible i once carried a girl so whether that changes my odds i do not know. Can i ask kindly if i add some scan pictures that you see what you think boy or girl (dont worry if your not an expert all opinions are valid and appreciated) I had the scan for these pictures at 12+6 and im having some more done tomorrow however i believe the nub is clear what do you think? Thank you in advance x

The first pic looked girly, the second is too blurry to tell.
Can I ask how they can be predicting prematurity so early, is it just because of your history? That must be so scary to have them tell you that.
As someone who has had many loseses as well, some where around 15 (all during early pregnancy, though), have you ever had your thyroid or B12 checked? They're both common causes for losses &, quite frankly, the main tests for them are pretty useless. Thyroid you really need to test Free T3, Free T4 & antibodies. B12 there are other tests, but it's hard to get them done. I was recently reading that at least one expert on B12 deficiency recommends everyone with a number under 500 on the standard test be treated, even though that's classed as "normal". If you eat meat & are low in B12, it's probably an absorption issue, which means injecting it.
I only post this because both are easily, inexpensively treated & both can cause issues in pregnancy. And most people, including drs, are woefully uneducated about them, but B12 deficiency in particular.
