Any predictions on my baby's gender?
Can't quite see nub on scan, they are 13 weeks + 2
Thanks ❤️

Girl!

There are hundreds of genders, do you mean sex?

Nikki037297 · 01/02/2022 15:47

I would guess a boy but that’s all it is just a guess

Nikki037297 · 01/02/2022 15:48

@Enough4me surly her baby can only be born one of two genders? Boy or girl?

Enough4me · 01/02/2022 15:55

The word gender has been pulled away (unfortunately) from an alternative to sex. Gender is now fluid...no, I don't really get it, but if gender is based on feelings then it cannot be known at birth. Sex can though.

Do you mean sex? Gender is something different.

Nope there are over 150 genders, but only 2 sexes.

To complicate the matter further, "gender" started being used before all the recent furore as a euphemism for "sex" (because nice ladies thought that sex sounded a bit rude Blush).

Jodieg1992 · 01/02/2022 16:24

Sorry I meant boy or girl, didn't realise it was wrong to say gender. As in when people do "gender reveals" I thought that's what it mean't xx

OP, I wish it did. Unfortunately it has been stolen and used for an ideology.

Jodieg1992 · 01/02/2022 16:33

Well yes I mean sex of baby. I don't think we would be able to recognise the PC term of gender from a scan if there is over 150 🤦🏽‍♀️

Girl!
Thank you, is there a reason behind it or just gut feeling 😊💕

The problem is it's also called a Gender Scan (I think) unless that's changed since I had my 2nd three years ago... not OP's fault..

Thank you, I've got more comments and debates about the term "gender" then whether people think my baby is a boy or girl which really wasn't my intention.

Always feel so sorry for the women mentioning gender and it turning into a debate on here. It's just some light hearted fun and she's excited to find out what she's having 😌 I understand it's not pc anymore but I genuinely think no harm is meant in these posts.
Going by skull shape I say baby girl 👧 my friend recently had her reveal and she's having a little girl, which I guessed by babies skull shape lol. Boys have a more square shaped forehead whereas girls are more rounded. So they say lol

Mewski · 01/02/2022 17:06

Its clearly non-binary

PinkEll · 01/02/2022 17:16

@Mewski 😂

OP I'm going to say boy :)

Factsnotfudge · 01/02/2022 20:37

Boy

navydear · 01/02/2022 20:56

Not wrong at all to say gender because that's what it is,
Your baby is definitely a boy,
Congrats, lil boys are amazing💙💙💙

ShowOfHands · 01/02/2022 20:59

Your full name is on the photo op.

MrsSkylerWhite · 01/02/2022 21:01

If the radiographer couldn’t tell you, wouldn’t rely on MN, tbh.

123feraverto · 01/02/2022 21:16

Girl!

The nub is in the second pic -- I think

LivMumsnet · 01/02/2022 21:22

Evening all. We're just bobbing on here to let you know that we've taken down one of your pics, @Jodieg1992, as it appeared to have a name on it so we thought it was best gone.

Please do feel free to repost with the name omitted.

And congrats on your pregnancy. Flowers
