Hi all! I've had a scan today at 17+6. All is great!
Sonographer couldn't tell me if baby is a boy or a girl. She did check but couldn't say.
I've got 4 not so great photos as she put it from my scan.
Would be greatful if anyone would like a guess😀
Thank you 😊

I’m going for girl! Partly because I think I may see the nub in one of the pics and looks girly and partly because I have a theory that when sonographers aren’t 100% then leaning towards girl as boys willies are quite hard to miss! Congrats either way x

You can't tell from any of those photos. You need an underneath shot of between the legs which none of those are. Also the nub theory I think only works for very tiny babies. Why couldn't they get a view?

Thank you! She checked, but the baby wouldn't cooperate as per the other scans I've had. Most like my daughter rather than my sons, haha. I've had a gut feeling baby is a girl from the very beginning. I will try to update when I get a rescan 😀
Baby wouldn't move very much apart from a few rolls she couldn't tell if it was swollen girls parts, boys, or the cord 🙃
