Does no nub mean girl?

[newmom]

Hello everyone! I have three ultrasound pics at 12weeks6days with no nub! Does that mean that i'm having a girl? The site won't let me upload the photos so here's a link to my ingender post if you care to guess. Thank you!

No, girls and boys have nubs but if it isn't in the viewing plane it simply won't image or if it is blocked by something like a cord or more often, a leg. Typically I'm more hesitant to throw out a girl guess when part of a nub images because often a prominent white line can still image through an obstruction but subtle boy stacking may not.
I looked at yours and it's about like mine- a damned mess going on down there haha it's frustrating. Mine kept its leg up the entire scan so I didn't even see a nub during..,

Nope it just means that the picture did not capture the nub. Both girls and boys have nubs, sometimes the ultrasound tech kinda cuts them off with the pic that they take and you can't see it. Cute baby though!!

Interesting! Thanks to both of you for your comments.
