Ultrasound gender mistakes? - Page 2

tasha41 · Apr 3rd, 2009, 12:15 PM

I was told at a 4D ultrasound that I was definitely having a girl

My boyfriend and his mother were not convinced until she was born however and they saw her that she was a girl, to my displeasure.. I have so much yellow and green junk from his mom that comes in pink/purple also and looks much cuter in the girly colours rather than the neutrals!!

I have been told in three of my four pregnancies and each time was right. However have a friend who loads of scans(every two weeks) due to her history told a girl, and then gave birth to a little boy.

I will tell you they are VERY accurate... I have four kids... and only once did a Doctor TRY to predict the gender... it was the nub thing

he was a week too soon on a good view said my son was a girl... now for all my others... they were correct.. even nub scans!

With my son, it was quite obvious he was a little boy.

This time around we were told we are having a little girl. By three different people. The first was an ultrasound tech. for the emergency department at the hospital, the second was an ultrasound tech. for the OB doctor, and the third was my OB doctor who is also an ultrasound tech./specialist. So we're pretty confident we're having a little girl this time around.

Plus, since it wasn't that long ago that we had our 20 week ultrasound with Aiden (about a year and four months) we remember how he looked on the screen and this baby looks very different. lol.

I do know a few people who's parents were told they were something different but that was 18-20 years ago, so I think it's a safer bet now.

i was supposed to be a boy, but, my dad seems to think that it wasn't from a sonogram, that he doesn't think they had them back them... can't ask mom as she adopted me

my sonogram showed testicles and a penis, if i get a girl, something happened

with my last child i was told girl and he was a boy, she didnt show me the boy bits or say 100% girl she just said 'I think its a girl' luckily i didnt buy anything until after the birth so everything wasnt in the wrong colour, with my first however which was a girl i was showed the 3 lines and with this one ive been told on 3 seperate scans thats its defo a boy, and i seen his hotdog

I was told a boy at my 14 and 16 weeks dr appt and I went at 18 weeks and I was desperate to triple check and his ultrasound machine was broke so he used his old one and he said a he thought it was a girl and then said that it could be a boy so I am so confused and flustered! Has anyone found out that early and it was wrong?

We just had a situation in work a couple of weeks back where a couple had been told girl, and prepared for a girl, the nursery was done entirely in pink! And yep, you guessed it, they got a boy!

I don't know of anyone this has personally happened to though, and i don't think it happens very often but i guess you never know if it will be you it happens to!

We don't want to know until the big day anyway so no worries there...we get what we get and we'll be happy either way!
