Nub theory prediction wrong?

68 replies

Anyone ever been dead certain of the sex of their baby by looking at the nub, for it then to be the opposite?
I realise the nub theory isn't 100%, however I've posted my scan on multiple nub sites and been told each time it's a very clear nub and they're 99%! Il post it here too so you can all have a guess 😉.

Just curious really if anyone also has a "clear nub" for it to then be wrong. Im happy either way FYI. The bun was never visible on the scans with my first.

I'm no expert but it looks like a boy right? I'm going off skull shape too.

InTheFridge · 19/08/2022 14:42

Boy

lockdownbabyx · 19/08/2022 14:53

All "experts" said girl 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

@lockdownbabyx girl💖

Soubriquet · 23/08/2022 18:19

I say girl. It has a straight nub

Madwife123 · 23/08/2022 18:39

Nub theory is just that - a theory

No proven evidence behind it at all.

allthingssparkly · 23/08/2022 19:37

No expert but I'm saying girl, are you finding out @lockdownbabyx ? X

EverydayIsPJday · 23/08/2022 19:40

I would say a girl as it's straight.

Moonshine160 · 23/08/2022 19:52

Looks very much like a girl.

lockdownbabyx · 23/08/2022 19:55

@allthingssparkly yes I will at my 20 week scan hopefully x

Very girly! Especially for after 13 weeks

allthingssparkly · 23/08/2022 20:09

Good luck, keep us posted with an update @lockdownbabyx 😊

lockdownbabyx · 23/08/2022 20:15

@allthingssparkly will do! I'm 16 weeks today so not long now ☺️ x

Ahh lovely 🥰 I have my 12 week scan a week today when I'll be 12w5d so excited to see little one again! It feels like forever since my last scan @lockdownbabyx 🙈

lockdownbabyx · 23/08/2022 20:20

@allthingssparkly ah it does drag doesn't it! I had 3 early scans before my 12 week one, so made it go a little quicker. My last pregnancy I did pay for an early gender scan but just going to wait this time. Do
You have children already?

OP posts:
allthingssparkly · 23/08/2022 20:42

It does drag 🙈 my last scan was at 9w1d.

I didn't have any early scans with my children, I waited until the 12 week one. I'm a lot more impatient this time round 🤣

I have two children, this will be my 3rd, what about you @lockdownbabyx? X

ChristmasAtHogwarts · 23/08/2022 20:43

I’m 99.9% certain this is a girl
the nub theory is accurate when done properly

2020mission · 23/08/2022 21:11

Mines was wrong everyone said girl and it was revealed to be a boy at the 20 week scan. I'd never consider it again as it threw us completely!

LittleLottle · 24/08/2022 18:54

Very girly!

lockdownbabyx · 24/08/2022 20:40

@allthingssparkly this is my second, I had 3 losses before my son was born, hence the early scans. I've actually been a lot more relaxed this time though!
Good luck with your 12 week scan, hope the week goes quickly for you ☺️

lockdownbabyx · 24/08/2022 20:41

@ChristmasAtHogwarts yes I've had a lot of people say they are pretty certain, I think it's quite clear (to people who know what they're looking at). I certainly do not haha

Your baby’s nub is parallel to spine and pointing
downwards.
at this gestation of scan you’d see something called stacking on a baby boy.

BraveFaceScaredInside · 27/08/2022 21:06

I'd say girl :)

Suganyakiki · 09/12/2022 19:08

Help me girl or boy?
