Saw my baby for the first time today, so incredible. The images were so clear. Getting very excited now 😊

Can't really tell sex from a headshot! What would you like it to be?

HeyCarrieAnneWhatsYourGame · 21/02/2019 22:26

That’s a boy! Come back and tell us when you know for sure.

Sorry, I have scribbled my name out now!
I really don’t mind what we have.
We have 3 boys between me and my husband and this is our first together. He is hoping for a little girl but doesn’t mind as long as their healthy. I’d quite like another little boy!

Ooh what does the skull theory say? I always get confused. I think it's a higher forehead and rounder jaw for a girl so maybe girl based on that pic...? I'm probably totally wrong though!

I never know what the theories are! I think the heartbeat sound is more telling which we are hearing in a few weeks.
I compared these scan pics to ones of my son and they’re very similar.

@welshsoph Congratulations! Little boys are so much fun!
I really don’t mind what we have like you say as long as they’re healthy that’s all that matters.
The scan was incredible. There were 2 ladies in there as one was training the other so we got a longer scan and they were showing us all the organs and everything. It was so clear, much clearer than with my son.

I don't know if I can find the nub. Anyone else?

The heartbeat apparently doesn't indicate the sex, at this stage studies have found no difference. Apparently the heartrate is much faster for girls during labour though.

@welshsoph Good luck! I hope everything goes smoothly for you.
@notmysquirrel I can’t see a nub either! I’m not sure what I’m looking for though to be honest.
