    Apparently with the girl bits there are 3 distinct lines on the scan that indicate the labia/vagina that, once picked, it's pretty certain it's a girl. I heard that the cord can be mistaken for boy bits. My friend was told she was having a boy and then next scan it was a girl!

    But I guess a technician is human too and we all have our off days!

    My cousin was told she was having a boy at 20 weeks, and was surprised when she birthed (her 3rd) baby girl.

    Hhhmmm.... thanks for sharing everyone. I've been googling to try and find ultrasound pics to compare ours to. We do have what looks like a penis, but it's crooked and does look different to the ones I see online. There is also what could be interpreted as 3 lines, but again, not as clear as the pics I've seen online... Urgh this is doing my head in!

    I didn't really want to find out, but DH was really keen to this time round so I figured we would. Over the last couple of weeks I've gotten quite used to the idea of having a little girl and excited at the prospect of buying all the cute girlie outfits. I have to say I was quite thrown when the sonographer said boy... It doesn't quite 'feel' right if that makes sense I'm happy and feel blessed to have either, but I feel like all these mixed predictions have left me spinning and I'm not sure what to think. I wish it was still a surprise - which I guess in a lot of ways it is, just not the same surprise IYKWIM?
