Nub theory - confused by scan

Hi, I am 11 weeks and i know it is too soon but I did the scan today and got two pictures. The midwife could tell me she can guess the sex from these but I am confused as the two pictures show different nub orientations.
any clue on the sex? (Just for fun :) )

I'd say girl. I guess there's still time for it to rise though?

Ema91 · 29/11/2023 19:43

The thing is: from the first picture looks more a boy to me! It seems the nub points up

Strictly nub theory on FB is a good group. This is tricky i think!

Interested in this thread?

That's a boy.

Image from the bottom, 12+3 weeks.

is that an umbilical chord or is it actually a boy? 😃

Now I reckon boy!

Dobbybigearsdog · 13/12/2023 02:55

I’d say boy, congratulations:)

Ema91 · 13/12/2023 06:48

Thanks!!! Boy or girl doesn’t actually matter cause I really desire both , but i must confess that i kind of hoped for a boy as a first child😍
anyway some told me it’s too early to tell. Our sonographer didn’t say anything cause here in the Netherlands they can only tell after 20 weeks, but when I saw that picture I was kinda “oh… is that a willy that I see ?!?!’’ 😂

Be prepared to be peed on a lot😅

Boys are great. I had a boy for my first too🥰

Ahah my partner will become the best diaper changer 😂

That is certainly a boy. Congratulations! X

Thank youu! Actually i’ve read of some that eventually found out the gender was wrong - but i believe it’s more when they are told it’s a girl and turns out to be a boy… cause nubs may be not visible … the opposite is more difficult. But i’ll wait the 20 week scan before the gender reveal :)
that’s a pity cause I wanted to celebrate it during the xmas holiday

My niece was thought to be a boy at one of their scans! I don't think they got a good view though and saw cord or something (or sometimes girls can be swollen).
I reckon this is quite a good image but I don't blame you for waiting to be 100% certain.
