I'm sure it'll be fun to look and speculate!! Some say use your age at conception, some say at birth and some say you have to use your age as in the Chinese calendar which can be different So basically nothing works except getting the sonographer to tell you! Tell us in the comments below. I've heard about the nub theory and read and seen pics that confirm this to be true and correct but I guess it depends on getting the right shot and being able to see the nub.

I have my 12 week scan on Monday but have a 4d scan booked for 18 weeks to confirm gender x. I would say girl but don't take my word for it! I had a super boy nub and skull shape, am carrying like a boy and have all the boy old wives tales symptoms bit am having another girl x.

Thank you for your comment, much appreciated. Can I ask why you think girl?? We use cookies to improve your experience of our website.

Actually it is difficult to wait for nine months. If this technology is available ,then why not to use it rather wait for nine months. Later on as the pregnancy progresses, a full bladder is not necessary as the enlarging uterus is no longer contained in the pelvic rim. In very early pregnancy, the embryo and pregnancy sac may simply be too small to see very much at all. But with every day which passes, the embryo becomes bigger and more advanced in its development. At seven weeks of gestation it is still too early to identify what gender sex the baby will be.

It is also impossible to do a thorough foetal screening assessment because it is still just too premature in terms of embryonic development. In some respects the seven week ultrasound can be quite accurate because the embryo is developing very quickly.

They are also not as mobile and active as they will be with future development. So obtaining accurate measurements and visualising them clearly on the screen is a little easier than when they are able to do somersaults and move around a lot. Yes, you should be able to. This is also more likely if you are having a transvaginal ultrasound.

But by the time the baby has developed to full term, this rate increases to around BPM. One of the reasons for this is because the heart needs to work harder and more efficiently to pump oxygenated blood around its much larger body and brain. The quality of the equipment and the skill of the sonographer are very important when doing any pregnancy ultrasound. Like every other health professional, individual skill, expertise and training make a big difference to the outcome of their assessments. When you are first referred for a seven week ultrasound, the first of many types of ultrasound , ask your GP or maternity care provider who has the best reputation for quality scan results.

You may also like to ask your friends who have had a positive experience and to see who they would recommend in terms of having firsthand experience. When an ultrasound is done between weeks of pregnancy, gestational weeks are considered as being within 10 days of accuracy. There are many reasons why not.
