IT's A...... update PG 4... CALLING ALL NUB EXPERTS-HELP! 12w1d scan...

clairelouise:

Not trying to get your hopes up but i can definatly see the similarities, and as you know i was confirmed to be having a girl, so fingers crossed for you, pls let us know!

Thanks for your thoughts! Those sitting positions can be tricky! I go for my next u/s (15w2d) next Weds. the 2nd, so will definitely update you all. Hopefully baby will be cooperative and showing its bits... As for preference, I always thought a girl would be awesome, but I've got myself so convinced it's a boy that I think I might even be a bit disappointed if it's not I know I'll be so happy and excited with whatever I've been blessed with! Can't wait to find out...

I am leaning

Ok, just got back from my 15.2 wk u/s  - and it really seems like I have all the luck when it comes to techs refusing to even hazard a guess She said there was a lot of cord between the legs, but I didn't think it seemed all that bad as compared to some of the unclear shots I've seen on here...but, she's the expert. Unfortunately she wouldn't even give me a great toilet shot; the best peek I got was when she was measuring the femurs. As far as I could see from the angles she was at, there was definitely NO little turtle or oblong appendage of any kind - but that was only from what I could see. As I've learned, just because you can't see "it" in a given shot doesn't mean it's not there. When she was measuring the CRL, the babes legs were kicked very high, and I could see nothing floating around the genital area (ie. where the nub was) - but again, I know that this isn't the best angle for determining gender. In a boy, can you see the penis in a sagittal view or is it truly only visualized in the toilet shot? Unfortunately, I was not given any pictures. So from what I could see on the screen and based on my constant scrutiny of pictures on here, my guess at this point is leaning girl. But what do I know? Guess I'll just have to be patient until my "entertainment" 2d/3d/4d u/s on Dec. 18! Sorry for such an unsatisfying post, but just wanted to update     

Thanks for the update, sorry it didn't really confirm anything for you.

I look forward to seeing your update in December

Sorry to hear you didn't get the confirmation you wanted.. i'll watch this space! GL x

Question: In a boy (around 15 wks), can you see the penis in a sagittal (side) view or is it truly only visualized in the toilet shot?

 you can see it in both, but lack of penis does not mean girl. Time will tell!

IT'S A...........................BOY!! It was confirmed at my 18 week u/s yesterday and it was very very clear! Great job all you blue guessers! So excited and can't wait to meet the sweet little guy. We are planning on announcing that "it's" a HE on Christmas Eve by giving out wrapped little gingerbread men cookies with "it's a boy" written on them. Only thing that's kinda got me down is the MIL (who likes to think she's "psychic")....She is and I quote "110% sure it's a girl" and has already felt the need to go out and purchase pink ballet slippers and an entire pink wardrobe - based on her hunch alone. I don't feel disappointed it's a boy, but now feel sad that she is setting herself up for disappointment about the grandbaby (first) she thinks she's getting. I know she only did it to herself, but I just can't get it to stop bugging me...

Well, congrats on your baby boy!!! Too bad for MIL.  She can save that for your next child! I love your Christmas idea!!
