It depends how clear the nub is in the photo - sometimes it’s really obvious! But ultimately, it is a 50/50 chance either way. We had a private scan at 16 weeks with our first, but waited until 20 weeks with our second. I did post in a nub theory group with our second and they got it right, but again it’s 50/50.
Oh I know this is my second just curious we are finding out at 15-16 weeks anyways so not long to goIn my experience id say wait until that 20 week scan comes around tbh
I wouldn't trust anything else personally though there is a lot to be said for those first peek DNA gender blood tests even those can be "contaminated" by environmental factors.
Others may be able to give a better answer though.
Would the gp prescribe something for nausea? I’m not actually being sick, just feel constantly nauseous. I’m 7 weeks pregnant.
I don’t remember it being this bad with my first or if I’m finding it extra hard as I work from home full time with my almost 2 year old

Yes, at least they did for me, but I did mention it was affecting my ability to eat anything.
Don’t know if it helps, probably not, but I find snacking constantly is the only thing to keep the nausea to a minimum. This failed yesterday when I felt rotten but tbh my work stress, my lack of sleep and my nausea all got right on top of me and I had a right wobble, but the rest of the time it’s helped. Pretzels, salted cashews, dried cranberries and raisins (with whole almonds is my new jam!), basic oaty biscuits, little oatcakes, rice cakes, I basically just walk about through my life with a small pot of one of them, nibbling away. It’s been super counterintuitive to me as an emetophobe who would absolutely not eat anything if she felt sick any other time, but it is working for me and so far, at 9w6d, no actual vomiting. However, I’m lucky that I have little to no food aversions, clearly!
Constant snacks in the earlier weeks is what helped me with nausea too
I think it was the same with my first baby as well I vaguely remember having packets of biscuits by the bed for whenever I woke up/woke from a nap

Yeah my GP prescribed me cyclizine and when it got worse, he put me on prochlorperazine. I was actually throwing up a lot though
don’t miss it at all!
30 weeks today and it's just 1 complication after another. Baby large for gestational age (my 3 girls were either iugr/small for dates). I have obstetric cholestasis (a liver condition in pregnancy) and the itching is so severe at night I'm not sleeping. I had it with my first and ended up being induced at 36 weeks as my levels went sky high putting baby at risk. I'm also RO positive due to my autoimmune condition which can cause heart block in unborn babies (so far everything is fine). I have severe heartburn I can barely eat or drink anything without gaviscon! I'm also anaemic and crunching ice cubes every minute! Just seem to spend my life up the hospital having scans, fetal dopplers, blood tests etc... don't get me wrong I'm grateful were being monitored and cared for and I have an excellent team taking care of us, but I'm just exhausted and burnt out from it all! I'm still working fulltime but go on a/l in two weeks and then straight onto maternity as I know baby will be induced. I guess I just needed to vent a little!
Sorry your having such a tough time!!! Could you ask for omeprazole for the heartburn? You can buy it OTC but since you have a lot going on might be best to check with your team/GP. I have reflux disease anyway and when I was pregnant I was the same couldn’t eat or lie down without an increased dose of it it made me miserable!!!!
I know that’s just a small piece of what ur going through but it might make you feel the tiniest bit better?
I got prescribed antisickness which did help but I’m 15 weeks now so it’s subsided along with my appetite
So sorry! Sounds like an awful time! Out of interest where are you itchy? I’d read hands and feet are the ones to watch but I’m itchy everywhere other than my hands and feet. Worse at night. Sounds like I need to tell my midwife!
I feel personally like my nausea isn’t ‘bad enough’ for anti-sickness, though the last couple of days I have literally had to eat constantly but I think this is the hcg peak time and I’m sort of hoping it might settle a little. I’m trying to practice ultimate gratitude that I’m not vomiting because that would be meltdown territory for me and my heart goes out to all the pregnancy pukers! It’s good to know they will prescribe it for ‘just’ nausea in case it gets any worse. I could really do without the constant eating, I’ve had to deliberately opt for low(ish) calorie meals to try and bring my overall eating into a vaguely normal calorie amountI got prescribed antisickness which did help but I’m 15 weeks now so it’s subsided along with my appetite
I had cholestasis and I was itchy everywhere, not my hands and feet! Definitely call triage and get them to see you for some bloods.

I am VERY emotional. More emotional than I thought I would be. Breastfeeding is HARD. I’ve already decided to knock that one on the head. Hopefully things start to improve without that stress.
He’s a very gorgeous baby and I had a fantastic birth - exactly what I wanted.

Well done for making the breastfeeding decision so quickly. It is all so hard and you don’t need anything adding to that. I dragged it out for 7 weeks making myself and baby miserable in the process. Enjoy your little baby and do what’s best for you and him! Congrats.Baby101 arrived safely via elective c-section on Monday

What was the problem you were having if you don't mind me asking?
Can only laugh, this cheeky monkey had been transverse for ages and has now decided to go breech 🫠 also measuring 26/27 weeks when I should be 33 (which is absolutely normal for me, my other 3 were all the same but born healthy weights).
There’s loads of time to turn yet so I’m not worried at all but hoping I they won’t try to make my home birth plans a nightmare

I also made the same decision after 4 days and I honestly think it saved me from PPD. This time I plan to harvest colostrum and have my perfect prep machine set up from day 1!Baby101 arrived safely via elective c-section on Monday

After much worry I was recently given the all clear for cholestasis
I was being driven mad with itching and it was badly affected my sleep much like you describe I posted on here at the time as it came as a terrible shock that there could be something underlying it all and i was looking for a bit of reassurance .
If it helps the tests I had to rule it out were simple blood and urine they did have to be repeated a few weeks later but the results came back quickly both times and ultimately it was peace of mind .
I'm booked in tomorrow morning for my pre operative maternity appointment, it's all new to me as my son was V birth but this is a medically planned C Section taking place next Tuesday .
I know I'm having swabs and more bloods done and should be getting my am or pm slot confirmed but beyond that I don't know what to expect tbh
its my first surgery and I'm bricking it, feel like reality is really going to hit me tomorrow when I have to hear it all
