Yep - I think so. I'm not a professional, but it sure looks like he's proud of it!

Its the 'nub' theres a theory on telling gender but its not accurate www.onetoonemidwives.co.uk/information/nub-theory

I can see the umbilical cord and the top of a leg - you can’t see anything else from a profile view.

Well this study disagrees - appears to be highly accurate by 13 weeks.

I can see cord and leg. Decent goatee though.

That’s a nub, and the closer to or past 13 weeks you are the more accurate it is. That is a boy nub.

Looks like a boy nub to me

We found out boy at a scan at 13 weeks. It was very obvious Grin

I’d say boy!

Lucky you lovely boy!!!

No most sonographers hold ultrasound pictures with their hands!😆

Tobebythesea · 16/02/2019 18:59

I cannot see anything. Sorry.

ILiveForNachos · 16/02/2019 19:05
