Did anyone get an indication of sex at 12 weeks and it end up being right?

Just for fun, when I was having my 12 week scam today I asked the lady if she could see any indication of the sex of bubs. She had a bit of a look and said if she were to guess at this point she would say 51% boy. Of course, I'm in no way expecting that it will be a boy (I honestly don't care either way), but im just wondering if anyone has had what was guessed at their 12 week scan to actually eventuate?

DD is 4 weeks old on Saturday.

They gave me a lovely "money shot" to convince me lol

At 12 weeks they don't generally look for a vagina or testicles/penis, they use a technique where they determine the angle between the genital "nub" and the direction of the lower portion of the spine. If the sonographer is experienced the rate of success is a little over 80% at 12 weeks.

My husband found out our last baby was a girl at our 12 week scan and had it confirmed at 16 weeks and 20 weeks (and probably again at 24 weeks, haha), and she certainly is a little girl

I had no idea during the entire pregnancy if she were a boy or girl though. Hubby is good at keeping secrets

Oh, our sonographer told hubby he has a success rate at 12 weeks of 80% so warned him that 1 in 5 times he gets the gender wrong. Lucky for DH he got it right hehe

We were told at 12w 5 d that DD2 was a girl. Sonographer told me 90%... but that she would bet her left leg it was a girl!

Yep we were told boy. And sure enough boy

Hmmm it'll be interesting to see how it turns out then. We were given a photo which shows what she thinks is the 'bits'. Like I said, I'll be happy either way, but it'll be interesting at the next scan anyway

My brother was told at 12 weeks that his child was a boy, they were right.

I have picked girls on 12 week scans before and been right (I have a bit of experience with girls)
