So I had my twelve week scan today and everything's great! So, so happy to see my lo waving and stretching :) but anyway, I'm SO impatient to know the sex of my wee one that I've picked up on "Nub Theory".

So what do you think? Boy or girl? Here's the link to my picture :)

Ooh I would say boy! What are you thinking?

Futterby · 21/05/2013 15:15

I'm so sure it's a boy!! I'm almost bouncing off the walls I'm so excited!

Boy has no idea what nub theory is

Futterby · 21/05/2013 15:47

It's where you look at the wee bit I circled in red and guess from the angle what sex the baby is :p thanks for the guess though!

looks like a boy! x some people have a theory that its the way baby is lying in the pic too, not sure wether its left for a boy or other way around lol x

Futterby · 21/05/2013 15:58

I've thought it was a boy since day 1 so, although it sounds terrible, I've kind of got my heart set on a wee boy. Don't get me wrong though, I would be totally happy with either!

intuition is nearly always right, i was correct with my 3ds
fingers crossed for you x

Yonionekanobe · 21/05/2013 17:09

I was correct with DD. I has a slight bleed at five weeks and was sobbing to DH 'I can't lose her'.

Sure this time it is another girl.

Futterby · 21/05/2013 17:30

Thank you! And Yoni, that's so weird, I did the same thing! Bled at six weeks, told my boyfriend through tears that I thought I'd "lost him".

I'm no good at the nub theory but wanted to say congratulations and that the scan picture is so lovely, aren't they amazing. I've got my 12 week scan on Thursday, fingers crossed

Futterby · 21/05/2013 17:35

Thanks Labradors! Good luck to you, it's honestly the most amazing thing I've ever seen :):)

I'd say boy NUB theory proved to be correct for me (Im having a wee girl) and for 2 of my pregnant friends!

Futterby · 22/05/2013 00:05

Congrats!!

Going by the 'angle of the dangle' I'd say boy! I have 2 boys and had this on my scan pics! Boys are great, congratulations

Futterby · 22/05/2013 00:17
