Sneak peek said boy, but girly nub?

This was the thread:

On second glance I do think yours is girlier looking than the nub in the pic from the link. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!!

I can definitely see though why people leaned pink. Thank you for all the fingers crossed!

Just for reference, or for fun... here are my NT scans at 12.3 days exactly (both of them)

My boy: - actually this was a few days before, sorry



My girl:

I'm starting to long for the days when ultrasounds weren't even a thing, and we just waited to see what we get.

But I hear you. I did watch the live scan a bit and couldn't see stacking, BUT, I've also seen the really girly nubs that turn out to be boys. And, with the Sneak Peek result, it truly does put me back in the 50/50 category.

I wonder how much of this is "real" gender disappointment and how much is that we aren't "meant" to find out.

It's hard to love a grainy ultrasound image, that's for sure.

Any chance you remember who that was?

Also, Coralsky and (I think) californiadreaming had nubs that looked girl LATE into the 13th week that were both boys. I was SHOCKED by both of those and it strengthened my resolve that it's a tentative thing even till the confirmation shot.

It's my own fault! I knew Sneak Peek wasn't totally accurate and took it thinking "Ill take it with a grain of salt", when really, it crushed me and I've been trying to research odds of it being wrong. I should've just not done it. My next scan is 20 weeks, but we're staying team green (officially). Un-officially, I'm looking for clues wherever I can.

I know people don't understand why I'm so adamant about you guys not going in for the non-for sure things...Ramzi, the Sneak Peek, the Drano test, symptom spotting, OWT etc because it seems so harmless but it messes with people's heads HUGELY. Creates SO much despair for people (either they have false hope and are then really set up for a fall, or they get really sad for no reason) it is just not worth it! There is no FUN in it at all, it's just hurtful for 85% of people.

FXFXFX!!! Still hoping for pink.

Very thought provoking. Makes me want to go team green next time even more.

That's my reasoning for going team green. I've never felt one iota of disappointment when they've been put in my arms.

On the other hand, a grandma-type of relative was handed her 3rd girl back in the day and cried (not happy tears) for days, until her friend came over later in the week with a bottle of whiskey and was like, "Get up, you've got kids to take care of."

I agree and you're welcome to use me as a case study. The SP results totally brought me down. Like down down. So my desperate request from the Lord above was just to give me SOME hope with this ultrasound, to even me back out. Bring me back to the 50/50 place I was before. And it did. I feel somehow more at peace, even it does end up being a boy in the delivery room. Had the u/s shown me a boy, I'd have been out. No hope.

And all of this thanks to Sneak Peek. All it gave me was an exhausting emotional exercise.

As a general rule I do like anyone who's got a preference to find out in advance, for this very reason. Some women have practically had nervous breakdowns (and a few people, there was no practically about it) but I suspect many of them had talked themselves into being convinced it was a "whatever their desired gender was". Some of the worst people had been told by ultrasound techs or by believing symptoms/OWT that it HAD TO be a "whatever" and that's one of my hugest fears wtih the Sneak Peek, is people going in to deliver being 100% convinced their baby is one gender only to find out it's another.

But everything you say about there being "no hope" is totally true. Being pregnant is not so fun for 90% of us, and then we get handed an ultrasound and hear "bad" news and have to sit there for another 5 months...yeah. That's rough. so as long as you know in your heart and mind and gut it can be either a boy or a girl, then Team Green is doable but anyone who thinks they're gonna take it really hard may want to reconsider.

I will say after giving birth to my daughter the nurse jokingly said "She's still a girl" and even as immersed in all this as I am, I had not given a moment of thought to gender for the entire labor, birth, as they cleared out her lungs, etc (she had the cord around her neck, so a little hectic right at the end there). I had totally forgotten I even had a preference, I just wanted the baby to be healthy and to see it and I was enourmously glad it was over with nothing really bad happening. So I can testify that in the delivery room, at least for me, it didn't matter any more.

Thank you for sharing that. That's really all it comes down to.
