Hi Everyone,

I am wondering about the chances of getting bubs sex wrong and wondering how many women have been told one thing only to be surprised by the opposite.

My experience so far with my Ob and Ultrasonographer have not been all that pleasant and have been left feeling a bit out of it if that makes sense.

In short -
We're going public, I had my 19 week scan on Friday and when I asked the sonographer if we could find out bubs sex, he made me feel like I should wait til birth. He took all the measurements and gave us heaps of details etc but not once did he make an effort to find out bubbies sex. Granted bub was moving about and the cord was in the way the one time he went over the area looking for something else but he made more of an effort checking the veins etc when bub was being difficult. He was ready to send us on our way when I had to ask him. Basically he told us a little girl because he couldn't see anything that was obviously male during the scan but not to rush out and start buying pink stuff. He didn't explore the genital area at all no lines to indicate boy or girl ha just gave me an answer for the sake of giving me an answer.

Now I don't have a problem with what sex bub is, but it would be nice to know based on an actual result.

DH thinks because we're going public then I shouldn't expect much for nothing but hey my taxes pay for this man regardless.


I am thinking that I may go into Melbourne and pay for a 3D scan but its a bit of a drive, so I am wondering how often, if ever they get it wrong?

Just feeling like I have made a huge mistake with my choice of care givers.
