Ultrasound been wrong about sex of baby?

[AmandaJ]

I was just wondering if the u/s technician has ever got it wrong with you or anyone you know?

I know that they can sometimes think it's a girl and then it is really a boy.

But has anyone had or know of it been the other way around where they have been told it's a boy and it's a girl?

Just thought that it would be an interesting topic.

yep - afriend of mine was told it was a boy and it came out PINK!

[Boo Boo]

Yep I was told Rylee would be a boy then at a later scan was told she was a girl....

[Ozziehoffy]

Yep, a friend of ours was told they were having a girl... bought all girl stuff and found out 2 weeks before that it was in fact a boy and had to go and buy all new stuff!!! This was only 18 months ago too so not a long time.

I've also heard of someone being told the same... but guess I wondered a) when they'd had their scan, and b) had they seen the doodle themselves? Or were they just told it was a boy without seeing any evidence.

Mind you, this is after conversation with someone who told me this... went back through my DVD with a fine-tooth comb!!

[Shanti]

This is EXACTLY why i'm not too sure I want to find out the baby's gender!!! Fear of being told the wrong thing!!!

my cousin was told girl and had a boy. I have heard of this as a pretty "regular" occurence (when I mean regular I mean more likely) - than the other way round ie told boy and actually girl so interesting to hear Kitten and boo Boos response. I'm guessing you are probably a bit like me Amanda and wondering "maybe they got it wrong this time"???

[Trillian]

Amanda, there is a gorgeous woman on here who was preparing for one and got the other. It is possible it was inaccurate, especially if they didn't have a clear shot or if they were only 60% certain etc. I only ever found out with my last pg what the gender was and I kept watching the video over and over again to double check LOL - I was worried he got it wrong.

uh oh, a bit of a worry seeing how many people are told boy to have a girl.... hmmmm

I'm having my 4D scan on Saturday so I'm thinking we should be able to tell 100% by then (I'll be 30 weeks) Oooooh I hope so... I've got rid of most of DD's "pink" stuff LOL

[BeautifulMadness]

Yes me lol

I was told i was having a girl and i got a boy.....lol ah well nothing can be 100% all of the time
