Thanks! The website Melissa PM'd me is very helpful for explaining the whole "nub" thing, as well as gender development in utero. I'll be all prepped for my next ultrasound now.![]()
Usually gender differentiated nubs are best seen from 12-14 weeks, however they may still be seen later (and sometimes earlier) depending on the baby and the picture. A "nub" is a gential tubricle that is present in all babies and at 11 weeks they look almost identical in both sexes. from the 11th week it will begin to develop into more defined genitals and boys will have a raised nub and a girl will have a horizontal nub. It can be very difficult to tell the difference. Many years of prctice have caused me to have a very trained eye... not saying I get it right all the time, but I am have a good strike rate![]()
