What is nub theory and shape of skull theory?

[MalsKerry]

What are they supposed to look like for a boy and what do they look like for a boy?

 

[JCh]

The nub will look like a hamburger for a girl or a turtle for a boy, just think of the genitals and how this may work.... Not sure about the skull one...

The nub theory is actually how the genitalia looks before it looks like a hamburger or turtle. Before (11-12 weeks) the "nub" looks the same on a boy as it does a girl. If it is angled up it is predicted to be a boy. If the angle is down or even with the body... It is predicted to be a girl. Once the "nub" moves to the proper place it becomes a penis for the boy and becomes the clitoris for the girl. That is when you look for the turtle (penis and testicles) or a hamburger (lines of girls genetalia). Let me see if I can show ya some pics.....

Interesting! Can't wait for my 12 wk scan so I can see if I can tell.

 

[LeighAnne]

If you ask them to look at the nub they may. Some might say "it's too early to tell" since this is just a "theory" but its worth the ask.

I actually did a thread for people to use as a guide to the nub theory:
