I been told sex ... Lets see if you can guess right ?? 12.. weeks

[Mrsctobe]

i'll say boy but at that stage im not sure how they can be sure as boy/girls bits look similar. x

 

[feeble]

i am so crap at this LOL!

 

[jchmielecki]

I think boy. That was the first thing that came to mind so I'm sticking with it.

 

[daydreaming22]

I don't see a nub; there is a leg in the way so there is no way I could tell by this pic. They told u at 12 weeks? At this stage it is not distinguishable

 

[feeble]

yes it is, the sex is evident from around 8 weeks! its just very small
and its not just genitals that display what sex a baby is, skull shape is also a big part of it.

the reason they dont often tell you until 20 weeks is because you could say 'i dont want a baby of that sex' and have a termination!

what and you could do that further on 16weeks onwords?
id be shocked if people were so ungratfull and selfish to do so.

Its very difficult to tell so early seen pics of 12weeks nubs they dont look that different weathers 16weeks onwords its clear you cant mistake it.

Actually its not! The genitals are evident from 8 weeks but male and female genitals are identical until approximately 14 weeks. The only way to tell before 14 weeks to to make an educated guess using the angle of the genital tubercle (AKA Nub). This method has been proven to be 80% accurate in determining gender between 12-14 weeks. The sonographer can take an educated guess at this point but confirmation by presence of a penis or labia becomes 50% accurate at 14 weeks and 95-99% accurate by week 16.

The skull theory has NO scientific backing what so ever. The theory is accurate on adult human skulls but since the baby's skull is not completely formed yet it is not an accurate way to determine gender in utero.

Again, what I was saying is I can not guess on this pic because I cannot make out the genital tubercle since the leg is in the way. Im sure your sonographer was able to see it during your ultrasound and make a guess.

When i was prey with my LO a girl got told she was having a boy at 12 week but at 20 week she was all girl. At 12 weeks they look the same you can not tell.

 

[AimeeM]

Classic boy nub.

Edit, zoomed in and it does look like the to of the leg but see three white lines which indicates a girl.

 

[AimeeM]

I see you got told boy, congrats!!

Honestly it happens, in this country it is very very unusual to be accepted for an abortion after 19 weeks without medical reason, but in many countries boys are more 'favourable' than girls and they dont keep girl babies

Look at China, they have 32 MILLION more little boys than little girls because of gender preferance lasting hundreds of years, resulting in basically a situation where in a few hundred years they would have bred themselves out, because it is impossible for every Chinese man to meet/fall in love with a Chinese woman.

Thats the most obvious country for it, but it happens on minor levels all over the world...

Thats excatly what I have read as well, at 8 weeks the genitals form girls get all their eggs in their ovaries at this point as well. In my intro to ultrasounds class they even said that they mainly tell they sex by looking for the 3 lines that make up the labia because even at 20 weeks the clitorous can still be inlfamed causing most technicians to say boy when in fact its a girl. I wouldn't go by a promise at 12 but thats just me.

Thanks to those that shared my excitement and had a guess and wished me congrats ... Shame it had to be turned into a stupid debate I never asked for abortion laws or sexing age ect ... I don't see these debates when other posts state they found out the babies sex at there 12 week nt scan ... Don't think
I'll post again I get ignored or my post and excitement ruined by a none doctor who googles answers and says a trained lady can not tell ... Sorry to have a rant but I would
Not do this on anyones post ... Thanks all that did guess made my night xx

 

[apple_20]

Yes, how DARE we have a conversation on a discussion forum!

Evil people we are!

So let me get this right, you dont want to be ignored, but you ALSO dont want people to communicate on your threads?

I would suggest you take your own advice actually...
