    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

    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.

    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

    Hi There,

    I'm in Tassie to and if I wanted an extra scan, I could just go to my GP and ask him to give me a form. Obviously you will have to pay for it tho. I know my SIL had an extra scan just because!

    Mel, why don't you get one of those intelligender thingybobs? I know theyre not 100% accurate but you could just tell yourself that if it says girl you'll accept and move on and if it says boy......... DEMAND ANOTHER U/S!! haha!

    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!
