I had my 20 week scan yday and we couldn't find out due to awkward position but I want to know if anyone thinks you can tell from the scan photo - skull perhaps? Also baby is only on 25th percentile.. is that more common with girls v boys?

The skull would make me guess boy but I don't think there's any way of knowing without seeing the important bits! I do think having a suprise is lovely though ♥️

If it's wearing a skirt and high heels it identifies as a girl Grin

Skull I’d say boys brow

No, you can't tell the gender from a scan. You might be able to tell the sex though.

🥱😴

I reckon girl

Sux2buthen · 10/01/2023 18:16

No, changed my mind. Boy

KnickerlessParsons · 10/01/2023 21:20

I won't bore off. I will keep repeating myself every time someone posts a scan photo and asks if anyone can tell the gender.

By doing that Knickerless you make people assume that those who care about gender issues are boring, judgemental and uptight.

You are doing a very worthwhile cause more harm than good.

Anyway OP - I reckon boy.

But it isnt gender, it is sex.

Why are people using the word gender and having 'gender reveal' parties?

Why? To achieve what exactly? The baby will be a boy or a girl. It isn’t going to come out questioning that.

Yes, bore off!

I could tell I was having a girl by the three lines (“hamburger”🤣) in the genital region but if you can’t see that, I don’t think skull is an accurate predictor. There was something I read about the angle of the pubic bone that could tell you if it was a boy or a girl…hang on I’ll try and find it!

BrutusMcDogface · 10/01/2023 22:19

Nub theory: pointing up= boy and down = girl. Not sure if you can see the nub on yours but the bit that could be the nub is pointing down, so I think girl!

Ihatethenewlook · 10/01/2023 22:24

Boy. And gender and sex are the same.

emmalou1981 · 10/01/2023 22:24

Hi guys ime nearly 7 weeks pregnant and ime feeling alot of pressure down below feels like pushing pressure do I need to see a doctor

1994girl · 10/01/2023 22:26

Boy

Maybabe256 · 11/01/2023 05:56

This was my 20 week scan here is my 12 week if you can tell anymore from that.

And I wasn't meaning harm by saying gender I'm delighted whoever they turn out to be. I'm talking about whether they will be born with a penis or a vagina.

OP you've caused no harm at all. These comments used to pop up all the time but they seemed to have stopped and now they're back hijacking peoples happy threads.
Congratulations, have a happy and healthy pregnancy Flowers

And to the others, your point would be better made to companies that sell 'gender scans' or 'gender reveal' items.
Nobody is going to suddenly agree with you when you're passing on someone's happy post. I guarantee that most readers will be eye rolling you, you do more harm to your point than good.
Leave the pregnant people alone.

I know it's women the last part is tongue in cheek

We should use the words gender and sex correctly. Just like we should use vagina and vulva correctly. They are not interchangeable. Words are important.

Sux2buthen · 11/01/2023 07:19

You do you

Catnuzzle · 11/01/2023 07:39

Gender and sex are not the same thing. Gender is a word used by those who need to spare their blushes by not using the word sex and who don't understand that Gender means regressive sexist stereotypes. Words matter.

Well OP I'd guess baby boy but that's just a guess.
