Nub at 17 weeks??

[Jadenmia]

Hey all, I was just wondering if girls still had a nub at 17 weeks or is it gone by that point?
I was looking through my scan pics and it seems baby has a girly looking 'nub'... But I thought that the nub was a 12 weeks thing.. Lol
What do you think??
I was hoping for a boy and was sure It was a boy.. Until I seen that.
lol I find out on Friday!

Nub theory only works 12-14 weeks , by 15 the gender is rather obviously formed and on display so no nub

Got a potty shot from this scan?

Yep, the genitals are pretty much fully formed at this point! I found out I was having a boy at 17 weeks in my last pregnancy and his bits were VERY obvious

I do see what you mean about the "nub"! I'm getting boy vibes from your pic Best of luck!!

 

[Jadenmia]

Thankyou for the replies!! I have no potty shot sadly, the tech said she isn't allowed to show before 18 weeks! Grr. Lol
My 20 weeks scan is in 2 days now.. I have felt boy vibes through this whole pregnancy but the closer I get to my scan I feel it must be girl.. Lol

Sadly they can't show potty shots as to many imigrants from country that do selective gender abortions tend to practice those beliefs in our country

I think you're having a boy

ITS A BOY!!!!

Ahhh so shocked and absolutely over the moon. I'm worried that it's not true.... But I definitely saw the penis clear as day, tech said 99.9% sure lol
Sadly I didn't get a picture of the goods but lots of other good ones

 

[hopefulfor1st]

Yay congrats!!

 

[BearFamily]

Thank you for letting us know, so exciting

[Jadenmia]

Thankyou!! Still trying to come to terms with the fact that I'm actually having a boy. Lol I feel like this is all so new to me now.. Since I have girls. Lol I feel like a first timer

Boys are the same as girls. At least with boy babies if their penis is up they're about to pee so you just put the old nappy over it again for a few more minutes. An intact penis gets a light wipe over, wiping from the base to the tip kind of like how you always wipe front to back with a girl. Also just like you don't pull on a baby girls clitorial hood never ever retract the forskin; both the clitorial hood and forskin are self cleaning until puberty.
Hope that quells some fears.

Thankyou!! I did look after my baby brother so I'm sure I will be just fine
The circumcision debate is the next thing.. My hubby is done.. I'm from England where people aren't done.. And I don't feel I can do it .. So we will see how that ends up. Lol!! thanks again xo

Both my husband and son are intact and I found that my son was easier to look after then the baby boys who were not intact at the day care I worked for.

I think I've attached my 12 week scan ok .... Fingers crossed and thank you in advance
