Gender guesses anyone?

Had my 12 week scan today and wondered if anyone fancied a guess at the gender? Not sure if a nub is even visible but any other thoughts or theories welcome. Just a bit of fun Smile

Not to be rude, but I can't see how anyone could possibly tell from that picture, unless they are a highly trained professional!

It's sex, not gender BTW.

Two spirit or neutrois. But only on days of the week when there's a full moon. Days beginning in T are the opposite of what you'd think of course. But if you mean sex, then it's definitely a boy or a girl. Congratulations.

I think it's non-binary.

I'm normally good at nub guessing but sorry your photo is not showing any nub do you have another photo?

thepeopleversuswork · 22/10/2021 19:10

It's male. Or female.

How could you possibly tell?

ClothCatManiac · 22/10/2021 19:12

Looks human.

FOJN · 22/10/2021 19:13

Is it even possible to determine sex from a scan as early as 12 weeks? I thought it was much later for scans.

KateTheEighth · 22/10/2021 19:14

It's a baby

Congratulations!

Bloodypunkrockers · 22/10/2021 19:15

YA definitely NBU

or are you?

What was the question again?

BadgeronaMoped · 22/10/2021 19:15

FFS people!

I'm terrible at this, but looking at the skull shape I'm guessing it's a girl Flowers

Pythonista · 22/10/2021 19:16

It's sex, not gender - hope that helps

Pythonista · 22/10/2021 19:17

What's your AIBU? (And it's okay, you don't need to bump it after half an hour Grin)

Frazzledd · 22/10/2021 19:17

I see the claws are out tonight....Hmm

OP congratulations! Flowers I'm going to guess boy, no scientific reason but love a punt!

I still love looking at my scan photos, that's a lovely one!

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 22/10/2021 19:17

It’s a boy. Congratulations

hellsbells36 · 22/10/2021 19:21

Wow. Sorry for any bad wording and obviously I realise there is no definitive way to tell (hence why I said it's just a bit of fun) but there are some theories - nub, skull etc - that can give an early indication. I wasn't sure if this photo showed a nub as I'm not totally sure what I'm even looking for!

Upon reflection, AIBU probably wasn't the place for this post. Sorry.

Don't worry! People use AIBU for all sorts. And not sure why people have been so snippy.

I'd say it's a boy.

Notonthenewrug · 22/10/2021 19:35

Gosh, people can be so mean!

Congratulations on the baby. No visible nub on this photograph, do you have another?

VestaTilley · 22/10/2021 19:35

Your baby doesn’t have a gender. It has a biological sex.

To be honest I don’t know why anyone cares to find out - all I cared about was that my baby was healthy.

Frazzledd · 22/10/2021 19:36

OP do you want to ask MNHQ to move this to pregnancy? You might get less people failing to be funny....

meadowbleu · 22/10/2021 19:41

Congratulations! Maybe this will help (entertain you for now)

Gender guesses anyone?
Pythonista · 22/10/2021 19:45

It's not about being funny. It's that it's way too early to tell so people will guess randomly, which seems pointless

hellsbells36 · 22/10/2021 19:45

@meadowbleu according to that chart it's a boy!

@VestaTilley it's possible to prioritise your baby's health and well-being and yet still be curious about what their biological sex will be.
