Twin nub guessing at 11 weeks...not feeling optimistic *UPDATE pg.5 with 13w pics*

[auroara78]

I'm sticking to my gut feeling which says A is a girl, B is a boy, and the nub shots, while not great for A, are keeping me convinced that A is surely a girl.

I can't guess but I do have a general observation about twins, I know 3 women with twins born in the past year, and all of them have twin girls. I don't know any other couples with twins other than my mum's friend who had a boy/girl combo. It just seems 2 x girls are more common than 1 of each, or 2 x boy.

This seems to back up this theory:

Twin Gender Statistics - In-Gender.com

Thank you! I'll have to go check out that link. NBP posted something similar about the likelihood of twin genders a few pages back, too.

sorry, I'd guess 2 boys as I think A has quite an angle of nub in the bottom pic... but I really hope you have a girl in there. Will you be having a gender scan?

Yes, I have my official 18 week scan set up for January 8th. However, I had an elective early gender determination scan scheduled at a private place for December 16th, that I've now moved up to this Thursday evening. This tech is supposed to be really good, so hopefully she'll be able to shed some light on what genders the babies are!

Thank you all for your replies! I appreciate every single guess. I scheduled a private scan for this Thursday evening (7pm EST), so hopefully I can find out more. I am on pins and needles, and although I'm ashamed to admit this, I broke down and cried a little bit today (stupid hormones, ha!). This is my last chance at ever having a daughter, so I am really, really hoping and praying that Baby A turns out to be a girl.

Anyway, I'm welcoming any and all guesses! Keep 'em coming ladies!

PS: And if anyone has ever seen a (later confirmed girl or boy) nub shot where the baby was stretching, please do share! I keep going back and forth on Baby A's nub shot...feeling optimistic, then later feeling hopeless...bc the baby is stretching and it's so hard to tell the angle in this pic.

Any more guesses?

Hey sweetpea - since you guessed on my photos I'll give it my best guess on your updated ones... but please take it with a grain of salt! I probably don't know what I'm saying! But I've stared at so many nubs now because of obsessing over my own that I have seen patterns, but hey... you know... I'm still not very good! :P

Baby B looks boy to my untrained eyes.

Baby A I'm giving a lean to girl, mainly because of remaining questioning of the arch of the back and whether or not that'd even affect much at 13+ weeks, however the nub seems different in that it looks forked almost from what I understand about forked nubs and in general the lines seem different then Baby B's...

Fingers crossed. I think the statistics others have posted would put things on your side, but if it does happen to be two boys... and considering they are less common compared to other gender combinations of fraternal twins - that would be special, too.

Thank you, suregena! I really appreciate your detailed guess! And I really, really hope you're right. As I'm sure many do on this site, I'm just going crazy, wanting to know! I really hope we both get our girls - your baby's nub looks SO promising, I'd pretty much be shocked if you didn't have a girl cooking in there!

Here's hoping... I have 1 week to go... ugh. I WILL be happy with a boy... but all this gender obsessing I got myself into when stumbling on this website I think has done stuff to me... hahah. I just read a thread of a lady on here who had ALL very sure girl nub guesses and the nub WAS flat (but didn't see a fork in it or anything... which I don't even know if that means anything since boys supposedly can have those too?) but she updated it was a boy.

So you just never know. It's hard to not be completely obsessed... I'm crossing fingers for both of us! <3

Omg I'll be stalking this thread on Thursday then! So exited for you! Remember than twins is almost even more special than getting a girl, so even if it were two boys you will still have a very special time. But I think it's a boy and a girl.

Xxx good luck!

Thank you both. I'm having a really hard time with this today, don't know why...I guess I'll just blame the pregnancy hormones. I hope Thursday night brings me good news.
