Boy or girl?

I hate to be this person (not enough to refrain from posting though!). It's a miserable day and I'm stuck in the house and have become obsessed about finding out the gender of my baby. I'm 23 weeks and have been looking into skull and nub theory.

Can anyone shed any light? I'm attaching two scans - one from 12 weeks and one from 20.

I appreciate it's all pretty much 50/50 but I'm bored Blush

Thanks @honeybee1986 ☺️

I have a little boy already and compared scan pics. Thought they looked very alike at first but this one is definitely more round.

I think I can see the straight nub too like my little girls was . Looks like girlie features too ☺️ in my opinion !

Also apologies for the hairy bottom half of the pic - used a hair brush to stop the edges of the scan photon from curling Shock

Hmmm, I'm not sure, it does look like it could be a girl based on the roundness of the skull.

I have a son and we didn't find out his sex, and in his scan photos, his skull looked rounded, so we thought it could be a girl...

In terms of nub theory, I'm not up to speed with that so can't help there. Hopefully, some others come along to share their thoughts and experiences :)

Cabbagepatch91 · 15/02/2020 21:13

Oh, how exciting! It's hard to say cause I can't see the nub...

Best of luck!

I'm pretty useless at this, sorry @Remmy123. Not even sure where to find a nub or what it is. Blush

What about skull theory - is that accurate?

jdy123 · 16/02/2020 23:10

Yeah I feel looks girly skull etc. Deffo more in second scan pic anyways Smile
And at first I never used to comment on these posts but I researched into the theories and now it's my guilty pleasure hahha

karenleee · 16/02/2020 23:33

Hard to be certain with them photos but Boy lean💙

emilyldn · 16/02/2020 23:37

Forgive me if it's already been mentioned but why did you not find out at the 20 week scan?

@emilyldn hubby & I decided to keep it a surprise so I'm just a bit curious and it's got out of hand... Blush Grin

@jdy123 I love it! You're like the baby whisperer 🙃

Thanks @karenleee, that was my initial thought too.

Gosh no way can I imagine waiting to find out for the whole 9 months. first pregnancy though so maybe I will feel different in subsequent pregnancies! If I were you I would just find out...the fact that the sonographer could have told me would be killing me haha.
I think based on the position of the nub it looks like a girl but that is notoriously unreliable! xx
