Anyone want to take gender guesses?

Hey everyone!

Had my 12 week scan yesterday....All was well (cried with relief through the whole thing after miscarrying last time!)

So I'd love to hear your gender guesses! Boy or girl....And why?

Congratulations!! Lovely scan photo, I'm going to guess boy as squarer forehead but I'm far from a novice nevermind expert :)

It's a boy

@Charly82, can I ask why you think that? I'm intrigued! Hmm

Can't see the nub but from skull I'd say boy. Girl skulls are more rounded.

@LittleBoyJuly2020 I feel like it's a boy lol. But theres no logic behind my feeling at all 😂

I always thought it was girls with the flatter heads/ noses my boys both had big rounded foreheads and all the girls scams I've seen have flatter heads. I would definitely say girl!!

Annafs · 12/03/2020 13:57

I’m gonna go with boy because it looks quite different to my girl scans!

Babies don't have gender, they have biological sex.

Yes, I am THAT poster.

Just sayin'.

BendyLikeBeckham · 12/03/2020 14:06

Congrats on your healthy baby, OP!

LittleBoyJuly2020 · 12/03/2020 14:34

@BendyLikeBeckham Get a grip. Your second post doesn't make up for the rudeness of your first.
Keep your opinion to yourself. We're not all on your crazy train.

LittleBoyJuly2020 · 12/03/2020 14:35

OP the gender of my baby is a boy and I had a feeling he was a biy from the start Smile

BecauseReasons · 12/03/2020 14:36

Are you feeling especially spotty and gross?

BendyLikeBeckham · 12/03/2020 14:46

@LittleBoyJuly2020

My grips are fine thank you. I wasn't rude, just being biologically accurate, and perhaps a little pedantic. And I don't know what crazy train you are talking about.

Skeeter2020 · 12/03/2020 14:48

Boy

@LittleBoyJuly2020 that's really interesting that you had a feeling it was a boy! Congratulations!!

I think boy

Gemma0711 · 12/03/2020 14:56

@BecauseReasons...Yep, I am VERY spotty. In my early 20s it took me YEARS to get a clear complexion. Finally got there, and now I'm nearly 30 and pregnant and I look like a hormonal 15 year old that's been picking at their spots. I feel gross. I have a fantastic spot under my lip that is ginormous! And I'm not even eating rubbish...bleurgh ConfusedSad

Skull shape says boy to me. Looks very different to my daughters scan

Gemma0711 · 12/03/2020 15:07

@bernardswatchplease I'm inclined to agree with you! It looks very different to most female scans I've seen.

bernardswatchplease · 12/03/2020 15:16

How exciting :) any names in mind?

SebandAlice · 12/03/2020 15:18

Boy

Cotswoldmama · 12/03/2020 16:50

According to the old wives tale spots mean girl as she’s stealing your beauty 😂

BecauseReasons · 12/03/2020 16:51

Yep, based on the spots I'll say girl.

CherryCreme · 12/03/2020 18:47

I think you're having a little girl 😊

Charly82 · 12/03/2020 20:09

@Gemma0711
I'm a fetal sonographer Gemma so going by my observations on this scan, I would say boy.
