Please take a guess for my 2nd babe! :) UPDATE!!!

[lala222]

Would LOVE some gender guesses as I am bad at the skull/nub theory...

Based on those 2 things..what would you experts guess I'm having??

Ultrasound was done at 12 w 5 d

Girl!

 

[lala222]

ooo girl thats exciting since my first was a boy! If you dont mind me asking, what makes you guess girl? I am just so bad at determining the nub lol I can't see anything! thanks for your guess!

 

[JoHio]

The skull theory. Your babe's skull is flatter at the top, which is a characteristic more generally associated when females. The skull theory was right for my 1st two babies (one boy, one girl), and based on that, I am almost positive I am having a boy again this time.

This said, it is really tough to tell sometimes with squiggly babies. Please keep us posted! I don't find out for sure to April, which seems a lifetime away but I know will pass all too soon. I do my best not to wish time away.

 

[lala222]

oh thanks for the insight! thats great to know!

I also find out in April (april 10)...I agree it feels like a lifetime away lol...then again everything in a pregnancy does! Any guess to what you think you're having??

 

[lala222]

oh I just read at the end of yours you think your having a boy!! Ill take a look at your picture in your other post and compare!

 

[JoHio]

I *think* boy, based on family tradition (like that means anything. LOL!) and the skull theory, but it is a close call. Baby #3 does have a high forehead and a pointier chin, but the forehead *is* rounded and not so flat. The first two, on the other hand, are textbook cases of male and female skull characteristics.

Here's what I mean:

Below are pictures of my 1st (boy), 2nd (girl) and third (unknown) pregnancies, in that order. All the ultrasound pictures are at 12 weeks. Of course, they are all quite different, but the girl (#2) SCREAMS girl. High, flat forehead, pointed chin. I didn't know about the skull theory then, but if I had, I would have not been so surprised when I found out it was a girl. Likewise the boy is almost textbook male, with a rounded forehead and rounded chin.

(By the way, hello fellow Ontarian!)

oh my gosh! that is insane how much number 1 and 2 are so different AND they were correct for you! Number 3 definitely looks like number 1. Now I am so excited to see what we're both having! I don't know why I never googled the skull theory before LOL. and your from Ontario! where abouts? Im in Trent Hills area (In between Peterborough/Campbellford area.)

I'm in Uxbridge (just 20 minutes north east of Newmarket.) A wee little town, and I love it.

Yes, it will definitely be interesting to see what we are both having! I never expected to have a girl (first girl in a slew of grandsons) and I don't know why, since it really is a crapshoot. As my midwife said, it is a roll of the dice. You could land boy 17 times in a row, and then get girl, and then boy and then 21 girls.

 

[lala222]

Nice! I am in a little town too, love them. And your definitely correct, My first was a boy and my mom had all girls, so you never know!!

I *think* that could be a girl! That might be a nub I can see on the 2nd picture, which is angled down, and the skull looks more girl like to me. What I've noticed from looking at pictures (and you can see in JoHio's pics) is that on a girl, they seem to have a bigger skull at the base where it meets the neck, whereas a boy tends to be a bit smaller down at the bottom.

 

[Misscalais]

that nub looks girly to me!

 

[DenyseGiguere]

I'm guessing girl! Your scan looks a lot like mine. I have my gender scan in 6 days I have a little boy as well just like you, and would love to have one of each. Good luck!

 

[lala222]

ahhh thanks so much everyone! Your guesses of all girl are getting me so excited lol as it'd be so nice to have one of each! I get the skull theory now, and I've tried googling the nub theory but I just can't see it on mine! can someone help! lol and thank you so much for those guesses! I find out April 10th!

 

[Shilo]

Based on skull, I'd say

 

[lala222]

bump..anymore guesses, I'm 1 week away from finding out! Would love more guesses!!!!

 

[lala222]
