I had my scan at 13 weeks last Tuesday and the sonographer is 80% certain this bub is a girl.. He said most of the time 12 weeks is too early but by 13 weeks there's a little extra growth which can sometimes show signs. The external genitalia are of course not yet formed but he pointed out these 2 white bone like looking lines and said the bottom one is what grows into a penis or clitoris. In little boys it points up and becomes a penis, in little girls it points down and becomes a clitoris. Our bubs was pointing down. He said this only starts to occur around the 13th week so some people don't get to see at their 12 week NT scan. Our ultrasound firm performs the NT scan between 12 weeks 5 days and 13 weeks 5 days, no earlier, no later and he said he can often tell by this time and hasn't been wrong yet..

I'm not rushing out to buy pink yet but we'll find out for sure next month I guess! Can't wait!!

we were told at our 12 week scan with ds2 that he looked like a boy. she told me not to start painting blue walls yet or anything, but it did help us to have that extra time to concentrate on boys' names! LOL

I had my NT scan at 12wks3days and I could tell my bub was a girl. The sonographer didn't say anything but to me it was SO obvious. She spread her legs when the sonographer was showing me her. I asked them to confirm I was right at the 19week scan and the sonographer said she was sure bub was a girl also. Up until that 12week scan I was convinced I was having a boy.
