I had my NT scan yesterday at 12 weeks 1 day. The tech said it's too early to even guess gender, but when I looked through the pics she printed, there's a very clear potty shot that sure looks all boy to me. Anyone know how reliable a potty shot is at this point? It sure looks boy but some sites seem to say they all look boy at this point.
I don't think we got a good nub shot, but I'm including a profile shot also in case someone better skilled than me can identify a nub

If that's a nub it looks girl! I don't think potty shots are reliable this early.

I don't think potty shots are reliable at 12 weeks, but the skull definitely looks boy!

The issue with a potty shot at this stage is that female genitalia is also quite pronounced (I believe at least it is at some point!) They don't differentiate this early! I know nothing about nubs though!

A girls genitals are super swollen at this age so a girl can look like a boy

@LAZB: Interesting, I've never heard anything about skulls. What's that theory?

@SeptMomma12: @LAZB: weird! Both my girls had flat skulls. I always thought the theory was boys were more pronounced-the whole caveman thing?
Eta: not so much flat/round but I read that boys have a much more prominent forehead? Who knows lol

That actually looks more like a girl than a boy to me. Here is a potty shot of our boy at 12w4d.
This is a link to high def to external genital development at 13 weeks pregnant which shows how similar it all is. http://baby2see.com/gender/external_genitals (Warning: high def ultrasound of fetal baby bits, which I guess is sort of NSFW in a medical way?)

@sorrycharlie: who knows really just another "theory". I will say that our son had a flat forehead, and our daughter's is more round, so it does apply to me, so far at least

@Little Misters Mom: Your picture didn't post, but that site is really interesting, thanks! Crazy how similar it all looks at this point.
@sorrycharlie: My son had a really pronounced forehead on his ultrasounds. I remember thinking there was something wrong it was sticking out so much!
I sorta feel like this is a girl but we will have to wait until January to know for sure!

@SeptMomma12: girl parts and boy parts look so similar at this age it's hard to tell.
