Gender at 12 weeks scan

[Tasheldon]

Hi all :)

I had my 12 week scan 2 weeks ago I'm so eager to find out what we are having and have been looking into these nub theories. From what I can see the nub is more horizontal meaning girl? Can anyone help me or give me their opinions please?!

Was wrong for me.

[FreeSpirit89]

Wrong for me. X

I doubt you'll be able to find out this early, it's around 20 weeks IIRC, maybe slightly earlier depending on the position of the baby when they are being scanned.

It was wrong for me. I saw a horizontal nub and even dreamt it was a girl. I've since had two more scans in which there's definitely a boy who loves to show his danglies off.. But if you listen to the old wives tales, it would be a boy!

Oh well I think that's that then I'll just have to be a patient mummy and wait! Does anyone have any views on the heart rate? Apprently 150 or below boy and above 150 a girl?

The heart beat one worked for me both times :)

The HB varies during birth! Before then there is an overlap (so room for error).

Nub theory has been right for me both times but I can't tell by your scan, it's just not very clear. If pushed I'd say girl.

Selly, I was also convinced I was having a girl, dreamt it was a girl and was convinced by the nub so decided it would be healthier to pay for the scan at 16 weeks and it's a boy! Confirmed at my 20 weeks. The night before my 16 week scan we went to asda and I turned round from looking at kids bedroom furniture to a foil balloon with 'it's a girl' and no boy ones and thought it might be a sign.

At my 12 wk scan ....Dr had a guess at boy regarding nub theory. She was correct.

I'm under the impression that a good sonographer is able to indicate the gender at this stage.
Ours asked, "Do you want to know what you're having?" (It was neither here nor there for us, as long as it's healthy), driven by curiosity we said,"Yes". She said,"95% sure it's a ..." (which came back as 100% confirmed during the Harmony test 14 days later).
Just ask.

I asked at mine and she had no idea what the nub theory was -.- And showed me the bottom and all I could see was two lines.

Anyone think they can tell?
