Can anybody help me with my Nuchal scan ultrasound pics? I swore I was having a girl, my husband thought so too, but after I saw the nuchal scan pics it just feels really boy-ish to me. The nub theory and skull theory are great, maybe I just stink at guessing!
It's our first and we are finding out the sex in about 7 more weeks, but I can't take it anymore!
Thoughts? Guesses?
Thanks ladies!

What a cutie! The middle pic shows an upward pointing nub which is meant to indicate a boy. The spine is quite curved though so that might be causing the dangle. I think a girl nub would be shrinking back at this age.
Congrats on a lovely baby.

i kinda disagree and see loads of girl nubs that protrude way more than boy ones.

Deaks do you know when girly nubs shrink back? Is that why they don't like doing private gender scans till 16 weeks because there is some protrusion until then?

At first I thought boy but the baby's bum is curving so it's really hard to tell. I don't get any clues from the first or last picture.
XxPlease have a go at guessing my nub http://genderdreaming.com/forum/ultr...ing-guess.html

I could really see this nub going either way but something tells me girl. My friends babies nub (a girl) protruded til 15 weeks and I have noticed that boys tend to go up causing them to protrude less whereas girls just have to retract and the timescale on that can vary. But look I'm not a professional just a self confessed nub-sessor!

Oh and the angle is tricky as the spine is curved. Tricky one.

Well I do feel better that this is tricky to you all. I was worried I just wasn't very good at this! But drat that kid! I appreciate all the responses!
