Potty shots aren't reliable at 13 weeks.
I feel like the tip of the nub is in shadow in the profile shots and I'd not guess on those anyway, because the baby is not flat as you mentioned. My immediate gut instinct is girl, but I don't have the information to be sure and so it's like 55-45 lean.
The thing you think you see between the legs is at least partly cord. So what you saw on the screen was also probably cord. Plus, people have this vision of girls being smooth like Barbies, but we definitely have "stuff" there and in tiny babies it seems bigger than what we might expect. So when you see something between the legs on girls, it doesn't mean it's a boy, it just means you're seeing that stuff.

Thanks Atomic! I really appreciate your response. I can see what you mean, looks like the rest of the nub is in shadow. And I also know what you mean about baby girls, my cousin just gave birth to a baby girl and I saw a photo of her just moments after she was born, she was very swollen!
The scull looks more softly rounded and the chin more delicate than my older children’s scans.
Anyone else keen to place their guesses?

It can be informative to compare skulls between your own kiddos. Other people's kids are all different enough that it can simply add confusion, but within your family there is ~often~ a visible difference. My daughter's skull and chin were very different from the boys' even tho they all look alike! FXFXFX!!

I’ve only ever had girls myself so have seen quite a few shots at this stage…and I would lean slightly towards it being a girl
Pink dust up you!

Thanks LMSM! I really appreciate your comment! And Atomic, as always, your time and efforts are so appreciated.❤️
I kind of wish I'd asked for an explicit nub shot now when she took that photo I thought 'oh that's a perfect nub shot and looks girly to me' -- I didn't realise it needed to show the end of the nub too. But then again, I was watching like a hawk and didn't see anything else, so maybe I need to trust my recollection more. Just looked like straight lines.
This is a photo of DS1 at a similar age... his skull looks much more blocky to me? What do you think?

Straight lines are a very encouraging sign. At my 13+6 ultrasound, I saw those long double lines and I was like "I have never seen that before in my life". At the same time, the tech got very excited (they weren't allowed to tell at that stage) and I started to think hmm this may actually be happening!!! I still get goosebumps reliving that in my head!

I agree there's definitely going on more in the midface area isn;t there??? FXFXFX!
Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
