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

[PumpkinZulu]

Maybe he just has an especially tiny weiner?

I think this little monkeyfart has done it all on purpose because s/he wants to announce its own gender. :P

Ahhh... like DD1 then

Bahahaha.. I could be cruel and say... like its father.. LOL

Tsk tsk... I'm only kidding

[maz]

ummm ME!!!!!

The scan's for M said girl...all bloody 4 of them until 38 weeks. I had all the same cravings I had with the boys, sausage roll's big m chocolates....same pains, sex drive, heart rates EVERYTHING was the same bar the scans all said GIRL!

I even kept saying boy and felt boy vibes......and it was confirmed at the 38 week u/s when hello you couldnt miss his huge penis!!!

SO YES scans can be very very wrong!!!! (and you know how I feel already)

[Freya]

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!)

[LimeSlice]

I am in the same boat Mel... Everthing is different this time around and I was convinced it was a boy. They say it is a girl. I do have to have a third tri scan though so I suppose we will see but DH is insisting the scan was right so I am trying not to get myhopes up it was wrong.... nothing to be done except wait - I have no idea how they did this for an entire pregnancy before scans we routinely available!! lol.

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.

[Freya]

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 could honestly have written your post myself.

When I fell pregnant with this bub, I was sure it was a boy - MAJOR cravings for red meat, aversions to chicken, savoury over sweet and all the other things I have had when carrying my other 3 boys.

We went for the scan at 19w2d and the baby was straddling the cord. We got in to all kinds of positions only to be told in the end that the sonographer thinks it is a girl based on the fact that she couldn't see a penis... but, she also didn't see the 3 white lines so really couldn't be sure.
I left a bit disheartened to tell the truth. Not only was this the first time EVER we asked to find out the gender, but we were none the wiser really and I was told the bub is more than likely a different gender to what I was feeling.

Now just over 5 weeks later I have my head wrapped around the fact that there is more than likely a little girl in there. I am happy about that - now.
I am having a 3d scan done in a few weeks time where I am hoping to find out the gender, but I am not holding my breath that we will, and this time I am happy for it to be either gender

I wish there was some way for you to be able to get your scan done again. Hopefully your results come back saying they were unable to see something properly and you'll get sent for a repeat scan
Are you able to get a 3d scan done at a later time?
Sending you big hugs

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

[smekko]

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!

[ladybirdflies]

I am not sure that your results could be wrong, but a friend of mine got told girl, and then a little man came out. Apparently they can never be 99% sure with a girl as they can with a boy. JUst assume it's a girl, who knows you may be surprised yet!

[Shanti]

I know with our 20 week scan when pg with DD, our sonographer was very quick and experienced and she knew instantly what DD was... we wanted proof and asked to show us why she thought she was a girl and she showed us the 3 lines...... of the labia/clitoris iykwim?!? it was SO CLEAR. 100% was not a boy!! Boy's don't have genitals like that LOL

Hope you've been told the right thing

[shellbell3]

I think you're going to have to wait til he/she pops out!
DD2 showed all signs of being a boy, everyone was convinced, we didn't find out the sex so all surprise but even with all the boy signs she was a girl!
So who knows as for the u/s it doesn't sound too convincing when he says its a girl cause he can't see a penis, maybe it was facing wrong way or something? Was there anything to indicate girl besides no penis?
