I have absolutely no idea what I’m looking for. Anyone fancy guessing the sex?

Well this is what I'm looking at anyway, and I would say it was definitely pointing up! Smile

Based on the nub theory I'd say boy as it's pointing up x

Roxx1516 · 06/10/2017 19:38

I think boy for sure x

FairfaxAikman · 07/10/2017 06:33

Can anyone tell me why they are so sure it’s a boy?

The nub is angled up and there is stacking.

Boy nub

FairfaxAikman · 07/10/2017 08:29

What’s stacking Oyster?

OP posts:
Oysterbabe · 07/10/2017 08:46

Stacking is the extra line at the end of the nub on top. It's the developing penis.

MelvinThePenguin · 07/10/2017 09:07

Fairfax, don't hang too much hope/despair on nub theory. People said one of my girls was a boy (she had a girly angle, but what looked like stacking). While there are studies that support nub theory, it usually requires a perfect scan picture and they are not terribly common.

I'm not sure I see stacking here, could be a fork. Most nub theory subscribers don't think a fork tells you anything.

If you're desperate to know, book a private 16 week scan.

Btw, I said boy because the nub is angled upwards compared to the spine. In theory, girls' nubs are more parallel with the spine. Ultimately, it is just a guess though.

FairfaxAikman · 07/10/2017 09:10

It’s just a bit of fun Melvin. I’m not really bothered either way

OP posts:
MelvinThePenguin · 07/10/2017 09:12

Okay, good 😊.

I wasn't sure and I've seen some of these go a bit awry!
