Hi,
Had my 12w scan yesterday for dc 2 and I am fascinated by this nub theory but have no idea what the nub is etc Blush
Could anyone explain it for me or like to guess the gender from the pics?
I'm feeling very sick today so thought it could be a bit of fun to cheer myself up!
Thanks lovelies Smile

The nub is the bit that they can catch on a picture if one leg is down.
If the nub is laying horizontally, it suggests a girl. If it points up to the sky a little, it suggests a boy.
I've cropped your second picture- the brighter straight bit in between leg is the nub. It's laying flat and the skull is girl shaped.
Of course, it's no guarantee, more speculation but it's fun to guess!

Thank you so much for explaining it to me. I so wonder if it is a girl now. My sickness has been awful this time and had none at all with ds1 so who knows! Thank you!
