Baby Gender Prediction at 11 Weeks

At 11 weeks, gender prediction becomes genuinely possible for the first time. The nub — the genital tubercle — is starting to angle, which means a trained eye (or AI) can begin making educated predictions with increasing accuracy.

Your Baby at 11 Weeks

  • Baby measures about 41mm — the size of a fig
  • Fingers and toes are fully separated
  • Baby's face is clearly forming with defined features

Gender Prediction Methods at 11 Weeks

Nub Theory

✓ Available~70-75%

Nub theory starts working at 11 weeks. If the nub angles upward at more than 30 degrees, it suggests a boy. A horizontal or downward-angled nub suggests a girl. Accuracy is around 70-75% at this stage.

Skull Theory

✗ Not yet

Skull theory is just becoming applicable at 11 weeks. The differences are subtle and hard to read — most practitioners prefer to wait until 12-13 weeks for skull analysis.

Chinese Gender Calendar

✓ Available~50-70% (varies by study)

The Chinese Gender Calendar gives an instant result based on your lunar age and conception month — a fun addition to your prediction toolkit.

AI Ultrasound Analysis

✓ Available~75-80%

AI analysis at 11 weeks combines nub angle detection with other early markers, reaching around 75-80% accuracy. This is when our AI predictions start becoming meaningfully useful.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you tell the gender of a baby at 11 weeks?

Yes — 11 weeks is the earliest point where gender prediction starts becoming reliable. Nub theory begins to apply, and AI analysis can combine multiple markers for around 75% accuracy.

How accurate is gender prediction at 11 weeks?

Around 70-75% for nub theory and 75-80% for AI analysis at 11 weeks. This is a significant jump from previous weeks and gets better with each passing week.

What does a boy/girl look like on an ultrasound at 11 weeks?

At 11 weeks, the nub (genital tubercle) is visible on ultrasound. In boys, it tends to angle upward; in girls it remains more horizontal. The difference is subtle but detectable by trained analysis.
