What are the chances that this nub is actually the cord???

[TTC5]

So I went through the confirmed girl pics on IG and found 2 other members here who had boy guesses and similar nub as mine...

Wish I felt as confident as you ladies lol.

My big thing with wanting to know what my chances really are looking at the nub is that: IF I were to get girl guesses I would have decided NOT to find out gender at the 18-20 week scan. But being that all guesses are boy not just here but on another forum I am at now has me really very curious! If I knew it was a boy I would find out for sure!!

I am trying to protect myself from GD during the pregnancy.. and figure if it is looking like a girl I may as well just wait until birth and by then it won't matter once she is in my arms. I want to enjoy the pregnancy without being hindered with GD.

Thanks for listening guys and sorry for being so obsessive about this nub business

Believe me, I understand, TTC5. I sometimes struggle with the decision to find out early like I'm planning. I've had far less consensus over my scan than you have, so I think I probably only have something like a 60/40 chance of it being a girl, so as that scan date approaches I am TERRIFIED I'm going to hear boy. It's a tough decision whether or not to find out. I didn't find out with my twins and I was convinced they were girls, and in those first few moments after the birth of ds1 my first thought was 'Damn! I wish he'd been a girl!' I've always felt guilty about that. Luckily, since they were my first, I didn't really suffer bad GD and got over it quickly. With DS3 I DID find out, and I'm glad I did. It meant I had some bad GD mid-pregnancy, but I was able to get over it, and by the time he was born I was excited to meet him. It helped being able to give him a name, buy him clothes, etc. while I was still pregnant.

The difference this time is that I don't have a backup plan. With ds3 I knew there was a chance we could try again, and I think that's what helped me get over my GD. This time I know there's no possibility of us ever trying again - even just planning for this 4th baby has put a lot of strain on my relationship with dh who thinks we're already overextended, and he's right. I worry that if I hear boy I'm going to be plunged into a major depression for the next 24 weeks or so and won't be able to enjoy my last pregnancy. Then again, I want to be prepared. Somehow I feel it would be worse to spend the whole 9 months keeping up hope it would be a girl only to be disappointed at delivery. I just know I wouldn't be able to resist buying some pink stuff just in case, and boy would it be painful to never get to use it.

I also feel like I'm so anxious over the gender already and frequently going into mini depressions when I convince myself it's a boy, I might as well end my suffering now and at least start the process of moving on instead of staying in this limbo for 5 more months.

I'm fairly positive you have a boy in there, but of course there's no way to be 100% sure with a nub shot - you will always find exceptions if you dig through confirmed nub shots long enough. If you really, genuinely know you don't want to know if it's a girl, then maybe you shouldn't find out. If you can manage to hold out you're a stronger woman than me! I'm waaaay too impatient!

We are the same Mocha this is definately our last try!

[TTC5]

Ok ladies our scan is in 3 weeks time, any more guesses?

[TTC5]

the more I look at this "nub" the more I think it isn;t a nub? I mean, it is up way to high to be a nub shouldnt it be lower?

[HappyLea]

Both the nub and skull look to me

I SAY BABY BLUE BOY JOY!!!!
