All signs point to a boy - but its a girl?

He just said that he couldn't see a penis

And nope, too hard to get another scan done down here... ohhh how I wish to be in Queensland!!!

Bah Ive never seen a million buckaroonies but doesnt mean it doesnt exist

Just go with it being a surprise. I know you would like another boy so I hope a willy magically appears before s/he is born...............but I reeeeeeeeeeally want you to use your girl name.........(sorry my dear but I just love love love it!)

Haha thats what DH says - about the existing thing - although he uses the war overseas - just because they say they are hiding weapons of mass destruction doesn't mean they actually are.. LOL

And yes I know you love our name

I have heard of this happening a fair bit, even a baby born the same day as a friend of mine's - was supposed to be a girl but she pushed out a boy.

TBH I wouldn't find out if it were only for scans, the only reason we found out with both DD2 and this squish was because of the CVS/amnio.

FWIW my friend; even when it was clearly 20000% obvious Stells was all boy at my 20wk scan I STILL held out hope they were wrong. Dh used to ask me if I was thinking it might fall off in utero and Id give birth to a girl............and optional extra accessory Itd be harder not to wonder if it were a girl because it definately is more likely a penis can appear magically at birth than fall off and disappear.

Such a shame you can't get another scan. I reckon the only time you'll get a false gender prediction is with an inexperienced sonographer. With technology these days, you really can't not see it!
FWIW - DD3's pregnancy pointed to her being a boy. Everything about it was different. But nope, she's definitely a girl

[Miss.September]

I know of a family, same thing, told on each and every scan it was a boy, and out popped their gorgeous little girl and into a blue bedroom with tonka trucks

I was convinced I was having a boy, nothing concrete, just a "feeling". When we were told she was a girl, I just about fell off the bed. Second scan, I made the sonographer confirm it and she said if it was a boy, he'd need some serious surgery! I don't think I was entirely convinced until she was born.

I had completely different pregnancies with my two. I thought #2 would be a girl but that wasn't to be. It's hard for me to say if I had that gut feeling of which gender he was going to be cause I was influenced by my desperate want for a little girl. But I like to think and believe that a mother's instinct is mostly right.

Sorry I'm not much help.
Big hugs

I haven't read all the replies, but can do you have a DVD of the scan? If you do have a look i fyou can slow it down & take screen shots of it. This is what I do with mine. I think I am pretty good at reading ultrasounds to pick gender now LOL

our sonographer is awesome and has been doing it for well over 20 years, he did DDs scan and was right, he did the scan for this one and was even more sure BUT he did admit that to his knowledge he had been wrong ONCE! I have kinda comitted to the sex of this baby and i think il will be truely shocked if it comes out different!
They do get it wrong sometimes, and like everyone has said its easier to be told a girl and have a boy appear!

If it does turn out to be a boy you have to share your girls name cause im very curious!
