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

But you won't know for a couple of months Hmm

Should have been Confused

@Pythonista but there are some theories (with varying science behind them) that offer earlier indications.

I can see from this thread that my scan isn't clear enough but others may show a visible nub. I really wasn't expecting to get an accurate answer but I've seen lots of threads on here about the nub theory and just thought I'd see if mine showed anything.

Congratulations! Maybe this will help (entertain you for now)
That's strangely accurate for my DC!?

Gender outlaw.

As to the sex, there's no nub that I can see (I never had one on my 12 week scans either), so it's a total stab in the dark, but I will say girl just to differ from the majority view.

Frazzledd · 22/10/2021 19:50

You can have a private scan at 16 weeks which isn't too far away?

neededafart · 22/10/2021 19:51

I think girl. No reason except a guess.

That chart is very accurate for my DC !

God why the need for everyone to be so needlessly mean, if you don't want to join in the fun and have a guess just move onto another thread!
Based on the skull shape my guess is a boy! Congratulations on your baby OP

That was correct for both of mine!

I see the statue of liberty at the top right hand corner. Grin

@hellsbells36 and @Frazzledd I make no claims for the chart and I can't even remember where I saved it from, but it's true for my DCs too.

ThirdElephant · 22/10/2021 19:54

That was correct for both of mine!

Actually, wait, no, it's wrong for one of them. Apparently simple maths fails me and I got my age wrong.

hellsbells36 · 22/10/2021 19:56

@Frazzledd we are trying hard to save money in anticipation of this little ones arrival so I can't really justify paying for a private scan when I'll have my NHS one just a few weeks later.

The chart was also correct for my older dc.

The chart is wrong for all three of mine.
Chance of it being wrong for all three is exactly the same as being right for all three- 1 in 8.
