Does anyone know how to guess using the nub theory? I'd love to see what people think.

I'm guessing a boy! :)

I've not a clue how to guess using this nub theory, I looked into it when I got my 12 week scan and couldn't do it but I'm going to say boy as well because my little guy (just had 20 week scan lol) was laying exactly like that and so straight backed and flat.

Of course since I'm basing this just on that, probably means you'll end up with a girl just to prove me wrong Grin

I'm not so sure either but i think it's the little fork bit. in the middle :/ lol.

I would say girl!

MrsRV · 03/07/2013 19:45

Explain please!!

RJM17 · 03/07/2013 19:46

I guessed correctly using nub theory with this pregnancy that I was having a girl.

Based on ur scan pic I would say girl, but can't really see the nub very clearly x

NxYxC · 03/07/2013 21:31

i'm not sure if i'm looking at the right bit but is it the part right at the tip of what looks like the spine and it splits in two. it's like the bottom part goes almost straight but the top part of it points up so that's what made me think boy lol I don't know if I'm looking in the right pace or not.

what makes you both think girl is it the angle? I'm confused now and wondering if I'm looking at the right part haha.

PoopPoooDeDooo · 03/07/2013 22:08

I think Girl based on angle and also the fork... The skull theory also suggests a girl

FeegleFion · 03/07/2013 22:08

I'm guessing a girl Grin

Congratulations (whatever sex) Flowers

FeegleFion · 03/07/2013 22:11

My DS' nub was pointing slightly up and your pic shows this baby's nub, in alignment with the spine.

That's why I guess girl Smile

Futterby · 03/07/2013 22:15

This ^

It's in alignment with the spine - suggesting girl :) best of luck with your pregnancy :)

RJM17 · 03/07/2013 22:24

Pointing up means boy and horizontal or down is girl from what I can remember so would say girl based on that x

Shylepite · 04/07/2013 08:11

I think its a girl Smile

khaleesidragon · 04/07/2013 08:17

Ooooo I tried working this out with mine but couldn't. If I post my picture up can you all have a guess of mine? Sorry to hijack OP.

khaleesidragon · 04/07/2013 08:27

I've uploaded a pic on my profile now, do people mind having a look and seeing what they think? I'm 28 weeks now - chose not to find out but still like to speculate. Thank you!

beckie90 · 04/07/2013 09:13

I think girl too its in line with the spine

I think girl for you too, khaleesi. Smile

NxYxC · 04/07/2013 11:48

Ooo could very well be a pink then and not a blue! Can't wait to find out now haha.

Khalee, you're not hijacking it lol. I was hoping a few others would post their pics too. I love to guess other peoples! But your pic is coming up small for me for some reason :( I can't really see.

OP posts:
Futterby · 04/07/2013 11:54

I have one on my profile if you fancy a look, I think I'm having a boy but I find out in two weeks! :D

Futterby · 04/07/2013 11:56

Khaleesi, I would say girl too but it's not too clear :)

Soontobemama · 04/07/2013 11:56

Nub theory said I was having a girl, I'm actually having a boy!

khaleesidragon · 04/07/2013 12:16

Is this one a better picture?

tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2zfvmz5&s=5

I can't really tell on yours Futterby i think the image is too small.

NxYxC · 04/07/2013 12:21

Yep, can see the pic a lot better now. If I'm looking in the right place I would guess girl!

And I think it's something to do with when you upload pics onto mumsnet, I think they go smaller for some reason.

LittleNightin · 05/07/2013 13:12

I've got my 20 wk scan on Monday, hopefully we will find out what we're having. Anyone got any guesses as I don't have a clue.
