I've never had that, but imagine your suprise if that is what he does & you end up having a girl..!
I guess its either find out for sure, or don't get your hopes up either way. Stick with the don't know. When working with this stuff it could just be a habit instead of saying 'it' or 'the baby'. It could just be easier for him
I used to refer to Liebling as "he" all the time in utero - just because it's the correct gender neuter pronoun. I prefered "him" to "it" anyway. Every now and then I'd throw a "she" into the mix because people thought I knew I was having a boy.
Unless the sentence was "well, he's certainly not got to worry in the changing room" or something along those lines I wouldn't take anything by it.
When we had V we found out her sex adn the sonographer kept saying he and apologising because she said its just something that she does no matter what. Yep V came out a girl
BUT
We were told at 4 u/s that M was a girl (we had asked) and it wasnt until an emergency u/s at 37 weeks that we actually found out that he was a boy. That was very shocking!
I had that happen with my first pg. I had a scan at 27wks because he'd not moved for nearly 2 days and the Dr kept saying 'here is his arm/leg' etc and at the time I wondered if he said that because that's what he really was or if it was just a better alternative to saying 'it'. I always knew that he was a boy anyway and clung to that as some sort of sign LOL
I have also had a sonographer refer to bubs at an early ultrasound as being a boy, but like a previous poster said they wouldnt have been able to tell so early into the pregnancy ....but she was correct in referring to bubs as a boy!
It's probably just a habit for the sonographer, instead of calling bub 'it'. To find out the gender, the sonographer has to actually look at that part of the body. It's not part of their routine checking, unless parents ask for it.
