Hiya everyone

Was just wondering what you all thought on this subject and if any of you have any concerns about getting the sex wrong??

Basically i had my 20 week scan and was told i was having a girl. The sonographer seemed really certain but i didnt believe her, i made her check a few times so she was sure lol. But still now i still have a feeling shes likely to have got it wrong so i havent bought anything pink. Am i being silly and should i believe her or do i wait until ive got my pink bundle in my arms before i start buying all pink things??

I keep hearing stories about ppl that have been told they are having one sex and end up with the other which i guess isnt helping. I would go for a private scan but in the middle of buying another car so not really possible at the moment.

Has anyone else got concerns about it or am i being silly lol??

I don't have that concern, we saw quite clearly on our scan that there were no boy parts. And we have bought a lot of pink. If by some strange happenstance my little girl turns out to be a little boy we'll still be thrilled--we'll just have to go shopping again

Before we went for the scan i had a look on the net at pics of girls and boys on scans so i knew the difference myself. I have to say there was 3 white lines to say that she was a girl. Maybe its just me being silly. I guess ive heard so many stories about ppl getting it wrong that i have it in my head that it will happen to me to.

Ema, the tech is able to see by the bone structure of the pelvis too, I had my scan at almost 20 weeks and we could see quite clearly that it was a girl.

Technology is always evolving though, scans are even better now then 5 years ago. I think they are pretty accurate.

yeh I wouldnt worry hun.... 2 of my close friends got "i think its a girl"!! So they were a bit more apprehensive!! When I went the sonographer was pretty certain and said its a baby girl and showed me the 3 white lines!!!

I have pink galore hun!!

I found out at 12 weeks, and 20 weeks that I'm having a girl. I think the sonographers are very wary to tell you the sex unless they are pretty certain, as there have been a few cases of hospitals being sued when getting it wrong. So I'd go for it !!!! Congrats on your PINK bump

I doubt the sonographer too and have been sticking to buying white and cream clothes.

My sonographer was very reluctant to tell us the sex and all she would say is there is def something sticking out!! For that reason i have bought gender neutral stuff. It also a bonus that 2 of my SILs have recently had boys so i am covered anyway.

I've been told twice he's a boy and been shown his bits but I didn't have a clue what I was being shown. Although my family have still been buying blue bits. I'm a bit apprehensive though x

Where I work we do Ultrasounds, so I asked the tech about it. She said most of the time they are right but they really dont like to make guesses intill 20-22 weeks because for some boys there testies dont drop til later. I have to say though, if your ultrasound technologist has been doing it awhile, they do know there stuff, and I wouldnt worry
