I have my 20 week scan on Monday (I'll be 20+5) but this is a copy of my 12 week scan. I'm desperate to find out if it's a girl or a boy but thought I'd see how accurate this is. Going on my skull theory research, it should be pretty conclusive but we'll see!

What are your thoughts?

Comparing your scan with mine (girl) I think you are having a boy. But congratulations either way! Smile

Thanks Rtfairy :)

I don't really mind either way but it's interesting to see how accurate it is! Roll on Monday!

Congrats! And all the best for Monday. I've recently had my scan and the nub theory turned out to work for me.

Based on your scan I'd say girl. What is the skull theory?

Thanks for the reply TwickyWoo :)

Skull theory seems to be that the shape of the skull can give an indication to gender but it all depends on the way the foetus is lying and the angle it's at really.

1 of each gender now!

Boy.

I'd say boy based on scull theory but the scull theory is totally unreliable, although its fun :) I was absolutely convinced my 3rd baby was a girl based on his scull, but he's a he :) I have 3 boys n all had a diff shape scull. But yea my guess would be boy xx

GJU - have a look on Google - there's loads of stuff if you just type in "nub theory" or "skull theory".

TallulahBetty · 17/08/2013 15:07

No idea about skull but the nub makes me think girl.

Thanks everyone. Boy seems to be the prevailing verdict.

I'm honestly happy either way - just itching to know! Keep the decisions coming :)
