20 week ultrasound - sonographer slips out the sex!

[OceanPrincess]

at ny 12 week scan the sonographer reffered to the baby as she all time, obviously he couldnt tell at that point....he ended up being right though lol

You think that they can't tell at 12wks, but our sonographer was able to tell us at 12wks with what he said was 80% accuracy what the gender was and he was right!

We found out Tiger was a boy when the Sonographer went looking for his leg, and there was definitely dangly bits between them! DH and I just looked at each other and said ''A boy!''. Good thing we'd planned on finding out anyway!

Our sonographer told us at the beginning he would refer to the baby generally as a "he", but that didn't mean the baby was a boy... we did find out the gender in the last 30 seconds of the scan though (we asked).

HTH, PX

yeah I have heard of people referring to the baby as a he so you know he is talking about baby & not mother.
Our guy always says "baby" though. But I am finding out for sure on thursday. Was told at 13 weeks at a guess, boy.

When we had our 18wk scan with DS, I'm pretty sure the u/s person used "baby" or "it's", but apparently let slip "his". Only DH heard it, but he reckons he heard it pretty clear. Very annoying as we didn't want to know. I still maintained I didn't know what I was having... but there were a lot of signs pointing to a boy...

This time round I walked in and said "I don't want to know what baby is" and she just called the baby "baby" and referred to "it's" legs etc. we'll be seeing her again in just under 10 weeks, so here's hoping she uses the same terms.

It's funny, this is something that I'd never even thought about. I think last u/s we had they said baby. But with DS we said we didn't want to know, and at one point while they were checking things, they said to turn away from the screen, just in case baby moved and showed us some bits...

But I'm one to call inanimate objects "him" generally, and MIL told me after we had DS that I'd said it at one point. She thought we must have known. I didn't even realise!!
