Because the uterus shifts in angle and position. Also, as the placenta grows it spreads out so it's less clear what the original attachment point it. Ideally Ramzi is done at 6 weeks before things start shifting and accuracy goes way down. Also, it's only reliable if the view is done in the transverse plane. Transvaginal scans can be imaged in different planes so you need to have the right one also.

What about abdominal? Are those accurate or can be switched??

Also, I need help deciding if I should get a 12 nub scan or just wait until 15 weeks for gender. Is the nub scan full proof?

Thank you Bunny Girl :-)

Lauren, I don't think the nub theory is fool proof. BUT I would totally do it if you have the option.

Ramzi theory only applies to transvaginal transverse scans. It has not been studied in other views so it's hard to know what the accuracy is. Transabdominal scans don't flip the image (even though I see this posted a million places on pregnancy forums). It shows the same thing as transvaginal, just from a different viewpoint, like if you were looking at something outside your basement window versus an upstairs window. The thing is still the same, you're just coming at it from a different angle. The image could be flipped, but so could a transvaginal. It's just a setting on the machine they can push to mirror the image. Typically what you see on the left-hand side of an image is what is your anatomic right side.

I'd get a nub scan. It's not 100%, but still pretty good. It's more accurate for guessing if you watch it during the live scan versus captured image though. You can see how it moves and looks with baby changing positions and wiggling.

Thanks bunny girl! Is 12 weeks the best time for a nub scan??

Yep, between 12 and 13 weeks is the best.

I know it's a girl. Now just trying to accept and move on. Hard because I feel like I failed and sad because I can tell he's hurt. Feeling foolish for spending so much time and energy on swaying. Eating specific foods I don't really care for, supplements, lifting weights, and gaining weight. That will be the hard one for me to come to terms with.

Quinn, I'm so very sorry. I completely understand needing to take a break and process everything. Come back when you're ready, we'll miss you. Sending you peace and comfort as you and DH work through this together.

He told me. Well I basically guessed and he confirmed. It would have been hard for him to handle that on his own. I love having girls so I'm okay for the most part. I'll be sad to not experience a boy and the comments we're going to get are going to suck. I have a feeling I'll be rude to some people.

Hoping you get your results soon Two! I want to take a break from the board to process things but want to know your result!

Hugs Quinn. I'm 98% certain we are having a third girl too and finding it hard to know that my little boy won't have a brother. It's hard and sad even tho I am grateful we had one boy. I hope you find some peace.


Two girls and one boy, due October 16
