    I know of lots of people where it has been correct, but then others where it was off. I guess it's not 100% reliable. Did you get a good nub shot of your bub on the way?

    I think I did Trish; and several nub theory obsessed people have picked girl, and it went through my head during the scan as well but will have to wait and see in another 4-5wks lol

    Oooh, well I have my fingers tightly crossed that they are right! It's so painful not knowing, I was so impatient with all of my babies! I posted my scan photos on BB when I was 12 weeks with DD and most people guessed girl, although I didn't get a clear nub shot, it was a potty shot that looked girly (and I know you can't rely on them at that gestation!). I didn't mind which gender I had, but the not knowing nearly killed me I tells ya!

    With an experienced sonographer it's meant to be above 80% accurate

    With DD2 my sonographer told DH that he was 80% certain of the gender and secretly told him. Hubby then had it confirmed (secretly still) at 16 and 19 week scan, lol. It was kept a secret from me, so when DD came out and hubby asked if I saw what it was I said "It's a boy!". The look on his face was priceless until I told him "just kidding. It's a girl" hahaha.
