Hi all

thanks ladies.

I havent personally. The daughter of a lady who works for me paid for a private scan and was told it was a girl. She went out and bought everything accordingly and when it was born....you guessed it was a boy.
Apparently its more common than you think - she said that the staff she dealt with when taking stuff back said it happens all the time......

Gosh i hope they were right on my scan, imagine all that excitement and then surprise, i cant tel you how i would honestly feel because when your pregnant you imagine what he/she will look like.

I know i would love him/her all the same but that has got to shock you.

I will be very annoyed if they've got it wrong, everything I have is pink and girly and cute. I know a few people who've been told it was a boy and it turned out to be a girl. I really want to have another scan to check but they're far too expensive

In all these cases where they have been wrong, I wonder how sure the sonographers said they were?
They normally give u a % dont they?

The problem is they cant be 100% Human error happens....

No one I know has been told wrong, a few have been told that they weren't sure if they had the gender right (and in both cases they did actually have the gender correct)

my friend was told "they think it was a girl" by NHS so had private sexing scan!!! I believe there was no doubt as the lady who carried out my scan said something about the 3 lines.... indicates a girl!! Then said its a baby girl!!
It would be really weird to now give birth to a boy.... especially as for so long I call her a her and have named her!!!
I know of someone who was told she was having a girl but then a much later scan (for health reasons) indicated she was having a boy!!!
