I had a scan on Friday - measuring 11w4d, and I nearly fell off my chair when my OB asked if I wanted to know what baby was? Apparently I'm not allowed to hold him to it  but he said it looks like a girl. He explained how he tell - something or other points up if it's a boy and something or other points down if it's a girl.
I had no IDEA they could tell that early! Maybe he's just seen loooooots of babies on scans - a good thing with an OB of course 
Anyway - Had to share! I'm not collecting anything girly till I know for sure though - just in case! ------------- Cuinn Lachlan 23.1.09 - 22:00 Antonia Helene 4.8.11 - 09:41 |

Very cool! The joys of having an experience OB, huh?
I enjoyed your blog update too, very funny (someone from OB linked to it once, and I found it very encouraging while we were going through the fertility treatment stuff). -------------

Yay, so you've almost got the baby you 'ordered' last year, now we just have to wait and see if its another wee ginger or not
If they can get a good enough potty shot (side-on apparently is best, zooming in past one leg), theres a theory called 'the angle of the dangle' which can predict baby's gender. Helps if you get a sonographer willing to have a go, mine just brushed me off and didnt even bother trying to look! Theres a website called in-gender.com that has a forum where trained sonographers will look at scan pics and try and pick gender from what the pics show. ------------- Brandon - 05/12/2003

Aww that's so cool!! I had an OB last pregnancy and he wouldn't tell me till 18wks that he thought it was a girl, so that is very efficient ------------- DD 4yrs DS 2yrs http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Thanks everyone  It's finally starting to settle in that we have another one on the way This natural pregnancy business can take you quite unawares huh?
I wasn't too worried about having either a boy or girl, although a girl gives me hope that we'll have a bit of a different first year to the one we had with Cuinn, which was generally dreadful, but I was absolutely fascinated that they could take an educated punt that early in the pregnancy as to the sex of the baby!  Not that I mind ------------- Cuinn Lachlan 23.1.09 - 22:00 Antonia Helene 4.8.11 - 09:41 |

Exciting! We were told at 12 weeks C was a boy, the sonographer said off the record she would take an educated guess, she was right and when she pointed it out it actually was quite obvious! lol -------------
