Boy or Girl?! Photo..

Hi guys!

So I had my 12 week scan this morning - turns out I'm 13 weeks. Most surreal experience ever!

Baby is healthy, somersaulting and rolling, arms and legs all over the show. Anyway, as the lady was pointing body parts out to us, my other half couldnt help but notice her refer to baby as 'him' once or twice. (went completely over my awestruck head).

Ive been looking at this idea of 'nub' predictions and the position of the dangle. All this 30 degree angle etc. Is there any accuracy in this? As you can see, baby is laid flat and stretched out, supposedly the perfect position to tell! We do plan on finding out the sex for sure, but Im so curious, I cant help myself. Anyone got an opinion? :)

Hmm - I don't think you can see the nub there.... looks like leg not nub (or if boy then v v well endowed!!)

But maybe someone else will say differently. I should add I don't actually have any expertise or really know what I am talking about.

Congrats though. v Exciting.

No nor do I... clearly, should I be mistaking a winky for a leg! :)

I do have a few other pics which would indicate a boy if Im going on this nub theory, but I think I'l wait for the people who know to tell me, ha ha.

thankyou :)

I'd definately say boy:) my picture was similar to yours where the nub was slanted- but I thought it wasn't slanted enough to be a boy. Turns out he is a little boy:) I've attached pic for you to compare

Sorry forgot to say.. Congratulations!!

I think I see the nub, if it is in Fact the nub then I think it suggests boy!

It's very exciting guessing. I will be having my 12 week scan on Friday when I will in fact be 13 weeks 5 days Hmm so I'm hoping that I will get a good nub shot so that I can speculate!

charl87111 · 08/07/2014 12:30

Its very similar! I think so too you know guys. Ive also shown a couple of girlfriends who've had little ones and each one has said boy...

Whats the betting I have a little girl! Ha ha.

Thanks for the congrats x

Do you have any feelings about it ? I had a thread on here before I found out because I was convinced it was a boy. I could only look at boys clothes and think of activities to do with my son. Which was weird because before pregnancy I wanted a little girl as I'm very girly! I think it was a sign :)

charl87111 · 08/07/2014 12:38

I have an overwhelming feeling it is a boy, but I think thats because Ive always wanted a little girl! Also, I have my girls name, which I adore! we cant agree on a boys name atall. For some reason ive always had my heart set on a girl. Also, my other half really wants a boy, and hes convinced it is. Gut instinct?... boy. Although obviously, as long as it's ten fingers and ten toes I don't mind what I have.

Nub looks boyish to me, congrats on your baby!

ch1134 · 08/07/2014 19:58

I agree - boy! I thought that by the shape of the head before looking at the legs... and the other lady's boy pic has a similar shaped head. My guess is boy (I thought I was having a boy too and was right... congrats... little boys are ace!)

ImBrian · 08/07/2014 20:44

This is my boy nub. Put a pic on in gender and see what they say. They're pretty good.
