Scan picture, can I already see a penis?!

[Sunflower30]

It looks like there is a penis already visible on my 12 week scan, can anyone else see it too?

[PilkoPumpPants]

I'm not expert but I'd say that's part of babys' leg.

[PilkoPumpPants]

No*

[GizmoFrisby]

It's a nub

[Jodie1982]

No looks like a part of the leg.
Congratulations

[daimbar]

I see what you mean but I think that's the umbilical cord... my 12 week scan had a similar 'penis' ... and I had a girl

[Sunflower30]

Ah ok, I got a bit carried away with myself I think!

[Imsickofnamechanging]

That would be a mahoosive foetal penis , seriously that's probably a leg/part foot.

[sweetchilli77]

why are my scans never this clear.....mine are awful

[chatnanny]

Using the nub theory I'd say a girl...

[GizmoFrisby]

Agree with pp a girl too using nub theory

[Chemistria]

That's the nub, the bit which forms genitals. Also agree it looks like a girl nub

[Sunflower30]

The sonographer said it was a new machine sweet, I had a look at my scan from 2 years ago and that was not nearly as clear.
Thanks everyone, I've really enjoyed reading your predictions!

[OrianaBanana]

It's quite clear for a scan but at 12 weeks it looks like a genital nub and to be honest as far as I can see it could be boy or girl.

[finova]

Looks like a boy nub to me

[DrSeuss]

Not sure. But a giant dick just got elected if you want a point of comparison.

[Chosenbyyou]

Lol doctor!
That is a lovely scan pic OP nice and clear on the face, I think girl tbh - congratulations xx

[Nikki2ol6]

There is a group on Facebook called strictly nub theory and you can upload your pic there and have loads of people tell you what they think. I put mine on and everyone said boy. Everyone was right

[BenLinusatemyhomework]

Genital nub and I would hazard a guess on girl.

[Sunflower30]

Thanks everyone, I'm still undecided! I felt sure it was a boy, I'll be happy either way
I'll have a look at that nikki thanks.

[Barefootcontessa84]

I would say girl nub too

[blessedmummyov5]

That's the nub and going by it I'd say girl x

[Sunflower30]

I'm very intrigued, I was considering having a surprise this time but I'm not sure if I can wait now!

[Chemistria]

sunflower i also agree the strictly nub theory group are fab, there are other groups too but the nub theory is very accurate (but not 100% obviously so if you want a surprise there's also that element of doubt!. I posted my 12 w scan up, got 37 girl guesses, 3 boys, I'm having a girl .

Also posted a really poor quality image of my son 3 years ago, i ddin't have a clue what I was looking for back then but everyone guessed boy. x

[Sunflower30]

Thanks for the recommendation! I've posted on there. I used a different pic to see if it gets different opinions, so far 2 are saying girl and no votes for a boy. I'm still not convinced but it would be lovely!

[Chemistria]

sunflower ahh that's cool :-) i wasn't convinced either as to me , my 12 week scan looked like a boy nub when i was first looking at them, but they were all adamant it would be a girl , as I'm consultant led I've had 6 / 7 different confirmations of girl now without even asking the sonographers!

there are some exceptions to the rule but the majority have a distinctive shape by about 12weeks 3 days.

my OH is pregnant at the moment too and I'm desperate to know what sex the baby is, unfortunately her 12w scan pics were crap and the baby's legs were in the way, only another 6 months to wait as she doesn't want to find out lol.
