Ultrasound gender mistakes? - Page 3

lissagayle · Apr 9th, 2009, 16:05 PM

My sister actually was told she was going to have a girl with her first child. We were all so excited!!! Bought a lot of girl clothes,toys,everything pink. But then when the baby came out the doctor said "the apple grew a stem!!" my sister not knowing what he meant at first till he said I hope you picked out a boy name. Needless to say she didnt...baby boy was his name for 2 days!! This is why im so nervous about the gender ultrasound, my boyfriend and I have only been stocking up on diapers right now, because he says he wants to find out the sex before we buy anything. He seems to think that whatever the doctor says will be!!! I hope so,, but at least im going in with both names picked out!!

Hi Tiaenya,

Even I am told as a girl at my 20th week scan, but I still feel that its a boy.
I am confused.

In your last pregnancy when they said it was a girl, how did they tell is it by 3 lines or not finding any boy parts in the scan?. Also can you please tell me at what week did you do that scan?.

Hi sarah_george,

which week scan was it when you were said that it was a girl? how did they confirm that its a girl... is it by 3 lines or because of not finding boy parts?

sweet_baby -just to note that this is an older thread; last running last April (2009) just incase you get no replies from the ladies in question -they'll all have had their babies and prob dont come into pregnacy club very often - unless pregnant again lol -which they could be

Anyway - I have been told boy, and seen what looked like a penis on screen -so I have bought loads of blue, having a blue nursery etc -they better be right lol!!

I think if you see the three lines then there is little room for error -it's a girl but you shouldn't go on the absence of boy bits -babies are little wrigglers at that stage and could just be moving too much to see.

Hi wannabubba#4,

Thanks for your quick reply, I saw three lines but it was not pointed by technician. She said "I think its a little girl" and I did not ask her whether she was sure at that time, no I am feeling I would have asked her.
Unfortunately they do not provide another scan if we want to and the scan in private hospitals are so expensive, I cannot afford it.

A friend of mine already had two boys and she was very excited for her incoming 'girl', EVERYTHING was pink including pram AND she gave birth to a boy

Not myself but a friend was having twins & was told there were both boys, & ended up comming out girls.

I felt really sorry for them because they didnt have alot of money & no family around them. They had scrimped & saved for these babies & had the room decorated had all the clothes sorted etc & double of everything. Then they came out girls & all that money had gone to waste!

I'm not finding out the sex of our baby next week.

She better be bloody right I'm off to buy loads of blue stuff this weekend haha xx
