When I have my scan at 8+4 how to guess gender so early?

Hiya, just wondering if the skull will be formed enough in shape to guess a girl or boy shape?
No point looking for nub right as too early?
Will ask about placenta location for the ramzi theory though.

I will be 8+4 so not sure if the skull theory will work that early?

It will still be alien like at that point so I don't think so!

I was going to hope for the same thing Chocolate!! When is your scan?

Ha Ha, just googled some 9 week pics and they are little blobs with a rough head and body shape - no way this is going to give an indication, amazing how much they change from 9 weeks to 12 weeks!

Hi Auroara, mine is next Thursday, paid for a private one for reassurance even though I had one at 6 weeks, until the doppler picks up heartbeat I just need that little bit of reassurance. The scan was also £36 so couldnt resist. When is your scan?

I think it's too late for Ramzi at that point too. sorry.

[auroara78]

Atomic, when is the time frame for Ramzi theory?

[atomic sagebrush]

someone please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe it has to be almost immediately after conception??

By the time you reach 8-10 weeks, your uterus has grown so much that there is no longer any way to be 100% sure what side the baby originally implanted on.

I think the best time is 6 to 7 weeks for the ramzi theory, I had a scan at this point and on the screen the entire baby etc. was far right, so reversed means far left = girl, but I didnt ask so could be wrong. Think if its far one side or the other then it may still give a clue as still so tiny, the placenta doesnt work till later but apparently there is a white blob which is where the placenta will grow. I will ask the sonographer if I saw the baby in the right of screen done abdominally does that mean left, or could if be different.

That's what I'm confused about. I had a 7 week scan and one pic bean is def on the left and another on the right.
I suppose on one she was looking downward and another from the side.

I tried to compare with my ds2's 7 week scan and the one where the uterus shape was most similar (therefore taken from same angle presumably) the implantation seems to be on the opposite side. Gosh how I hope this is true and this is a girl....

chocolate- was thinking of going to your scan place as so cheap as I still have 12 days until 12 week scan and think I need some reasurrance in the meantime. How was it?
