    Question Couldn't determine baby's gender at U/S - what did yours turn out to be?

    Just wondering how many of you have had a baby that was too modest for the ultrasound technician to determine the sex. And then, what did that baby turn out to be? I've had three modest babies so far, and two were girls, and one is yet to be determined. I'm curious if it seems like when the U/S tech can't tell, then it's usually a girl, or not. So, what was your modest baby? Pink or blue?

    My 1st we decided not to find out but every US we were told legs were crossed do they couldnt see anyways... We had a boy...

    @nd bubs and i wanted to know 18 week scan they couldnt see so i booked another at 24 weeks... was told a lowsey 55% chance of a girll... (woopdy doo)
    So i booked a 4d scan and they said 75% it was a girl. It still wasnt good enough for me i wanted to do another scan (was lucky in a way i was ablwe to have another scan at 32 weeks - loss of fluid and they got a good shot and yup was confirmed 100% it was a girl... and yup i did have a girl... (i also did the gender prediction test that was right for both kids... )

    im in the same position now.

    2 scans so far 1 @ 20weeks the other @ 27 which was 4d scan

    both times they have said girl but couldnt be 100%

    I really wanted to have another scan as everyone keeps saying its a boy which is now freaking me out as we bought girl stuff (i've left all tags on except for a few things which will be the going home outfit if we do have a girl)

    They couldnt really tell, but based on that the US tech decided DD was a girl, gave us about 75%...And sure enough GIRL it was!

    Usually my modest ones are girls too. I have a "It looks like it may be a girl, but don't pain the room pink yet" on this one. But she was sticking her arms over her face and attacking the u/s scanner and just being a general pain in the neck - so I am inclned to agree!

    For my first, the US couldn't tell and it was a girl!

    My 2nd was very very clearly a boy!

    Sounds like a definite girl majority! Wow! But of course, nothing is for sure. I just saw my midwife this afternoon, and she said she can't tell 100% for sure which way baby is lying, and if she still can't tell next visit, she'll send me for another ultrasound! I'm sooooo hoping this baby doesn't co-operate! I would love one more chance to tell.

    Legs in the way and baby wasn't keen to move in to a better position, but we didn't mind because we wanted a surprise. Boy!

    No idea yet this time, but baby was very active at the 12 week scan and I suspect will show us whether we want to know or not. I think it's a girl.

    I have 2 friends who tried to find out but baby refused to cooperate. Both women had multiple scans with no success and both women really wanted boys so their male partners would bond with the babies better (both first babies). Both ended up having girls.
    Another friend had lots of scans because baby was breech and was told the whole time she was having a girl. She announced it before baby shower and was showered in pink, but baby turned out to be a boy! Based on these experiences I have no desire to find out gender via ultrasound, I figure it's not worth the stress.

    #1 was modest so we couldnt find out at all and turned out a girl
    #2 was modest and wouldnt show but based on her bladder position the sonographer took a 90% guess at being a girl....and we had a girl
    #3 was modest at first scan...2nd scan showed a little and was told boy....4d scan at 32 weeks clearly showed a boy
