Based on skull shape I’d say boy

You picked the wrong board to post on - this would probably be better in the pregnancy board.

They can't tell the baby's sex until around 16 weeks (and they can't tell the gender at all) so that's why they "wouldn't" tell you - the couldn't because they didn't know!

I believe there is a "nub" theory that people use on 12 week scans - maybe report your post and ask for it to me moved to Pregnancy and see if anyone there can have a guess.

Just remember, it's a 50/50 guess at this stage!

Congratulations on your pregnancy!

Because st the 12 week scan they don’t tell you

BECAUSE THEY CAN'T TELL FFS

It can be anything it wants these days.

wholettheturnipsburn · 09/01/2025 12:38

It might even be gender fluid. Wait till it grows up and let decide

Oh and YABU

PonyPatter44 · 09/01/2025 12:27

Maybe it's both. Like a hermaphrodite.

Congratulations anyway!

Definitely a boy or a girl

Why didn't you ask the professional at the time.

Was the heartbeat fast or slightly slower? I knew DS2 was a boy from his heartbeat, boys are slightly slower

My second DC had a very slow heartbeat. All the midwives were lightheartedly taking bets during my labour because i didn't know the sex. They all said BOY - big baby, slooow heart beat ....

out pops DD2 😊

This isn’t your baby is it. If it was you’d have asked the person doing the scan. Don’t try to second guess the sex of someone else’s baby. If they want you to know, they’ll tell you.

CouldItBeAnyMoreObvious · 09/01/2025 08:31

why in AIBU?
Why not ask the parent, a radiographer, or the person who did the ultrasound

Ilovethatbear · 09/01/2025 08:00

Why?

ohyesherewego · 09/01/2025 08:00

Also skull shape says girl I think?

Repost in pregnancy topic 😀

ohyesherewego · 09/01/2025 07:58

I'm no expert.. according to the nub theory I think it looks girl 👧

MrsJamin · 09/01/2025 07:56

These posts are ridiculous, no one here is a professional and if they were, they wouldn't be able to tell or say anyway. Enjoy your baby whatever SEX it is.

SallyWD · 09/01/2025 07:52

I don't think she does mean sexy.

Show quote history

Hahah autocorrect fail from ‘sexy’ to ‘sex’. I still believe she means sex though.

SallyWD · 09/01/2025 07:54

Sorry everyone's being snarky to you, OP. I think usually people guess by seeing the nub (I don't know how!), but it's not visible in these pictures.
Wishing you a healthy pregnancy.

SallyWD · 09/01/2025 07:52

Coolasfeck · 09/01/2025 07:50

You mean ‘sex’ not ‘gender’.

Edited

I don't think she does mean sexy.

DreamW3aver · 09/01/2025 07:50

Definitely boy or girl

Porcuporpoise · 09/01/2025 07:48

Well certainly one or the other. Definitely a baby.

Badgersandfoxes · 09/01/2025 07:45

I think. It might be a baby. Congratulations.
