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

Totally been stalking your posts! Hoping you get some good shots!

Come on lady how did it go ?????????

Sorry guys, I failed to mention that my scan was later in the day. I just got home. I got some shots, and the babies are much bigger, but I don't know if the nubs are very clear. I'm about 95% sure that baby B is a boy...not so sure about baby A. They gave me a disc of all the shots, so I'm going to have to figure out how to get them off the disc and post them. Give me a little bit...still have to get kids down for a nap too...I'll be back soon, but wanted to at least give this quick update...

The skulls look very different so one of each makes sense to me if there is any truth in the skull theory. I do hope one is your DD. The odds are definitely with you for that!

From what I've read-


Order of frequency:
1. fraternal boy/girl
2. fraternal girl/girl
3. fraternal boy/boy
4. identical girl/girl
5. identical boy/boy

Thanks, NBP! I'm working on getting the pics onto my computer right now so I can share them here. Hopefully the nubs are clear enough for a good guess. Baby B is, to me at least, pretty obviously a boy. Thinking *maybe* girl for Baby A, but really not sure. Feeling really scared right now, as I'm pretty sure I'm going to be a mom of at least 3 boys...maybe 4. Holding onto hope that just one is a girl, I would be totally happy with that (please, God!). Anyway, I'd love to hear what others think...

Oh, and I did want to add some stats: Both babies are measuring at 13 weeks, so right on track. They're both 3 inches CRL, and both have heart rates of 160 bpm. Baby A was moving around, but pretty calm; Baby B was wild! It was amazing to watch them on the screen, I could never tire of seeing my babies during an ultrasound, it's such an awesome experience.

Ok, off to work on getting these pics uploaded here...

Sorry about that, I just posted the whole thread and then noticed that all my personal info was still on the pics (oops!) so I had to re-do the post.

Anyway...here are the pics. I hope I'm finally doing it right now, and the pics aren't too big or anything. After reviewing these again myself, I am almost certain that Baby B is a boy. I'm thinking Baby A *might* be a girl, but maybe I'm just desperate and grasping at straws. There's one shot of Baby A that looks kind of girly to me, BUT he/she looks like they're stretching (the spine doesn't look at all curved, like the baby is stretching out), so I don't know if that affects the accuracy of the nub angle or not. What do you think?

Here is Baby B. For some reason, I got a lot of profile shots of Baby B, but not so many of Baby A. Let me know what you think...







And here is Baby A. There are only two good profile shots of this baby, so hopefully we can determine something from these. Like I said above, I'm really worried about the fact that the only good girly nub I see is when the baby looks to be stretched out (unless I'm wrong, but it looks to me like the baby is stretching). I don't know if this skews the accuracy of nub guessing or not. Anyway...let me know what you think...




I'd love to hear your guesses...and please be honest! I value your opinions. Thanks, ladies!

Aw no i'm going mad with the suspense!!!!!!

Did they give you a guess?

[sweetpea]

MrsP, the tech wouldn't say, but she said that the nubs "did seem to be a bit different from each other." I really don't think this place is good with early gender guessing. And sorry for the wait - I was having technical difficulties!

i'm not brill at this but i'm not convinced the first is a boy - i still think you have at least one girl x

Lovely seeing more twins shots though - do you have any more of them together side by side like before, just cause they are so darn cute?
