Just a bit of fun Grin find out my babys sex in 4 weeks time but just thought I would see if people could guess from my scan pictures from nub or skull theory?

I have the vaguest ideas of what both of these are but haven't studied either in any great detail so my guess, ultimately, may have no basis in either but I'm going to go with GIRL Grin Do you have any thoughts either way yourself?

I also think girl, I have a little boy already and my pregnancy has been totally different this time. I will be happy either way though as long as its healthy Smile

Girl babes and boy babes have different sounding hearts. Horses hooves galloping and full steam ahead trains apparently. Also girls' beat faster iirc.

I think she looks lovely! Congratulations.

Yep, it is! I had my 20 week scan today. We have decided to keep it a surprise but I doubt that the sonographer would have told us if we'd wanted to know anyway.

I was tempted but you don't get too many actual 'surprises' as an adult and I think I would regret knowing as soon as I knew iyswim. Plus, if I'm honest, a few people have told me that your labour is quicker if you don't know. Now whether that is and old wives tale or actually has some truth, I don't know but a quick labour has its attractions to me Grin

That's a girl nub.... aslong as you are 12 and a half weeks ++++ as boy nubs can look like that until the middle of the 12th week. So the nub theory is not accurate before that

48 hours?! This is my first and that sounds like the stuff of nightmares Sad I refuse to think about it until further down the line Smile
