I am dying to know the sex of my baby too. At our 20 wk scan we tried to find out the sex but the baby wasn't really co-operating, they lady who did the scan said she couldn't get a clear view but if she took a stab at it she would say a girl.
We then went for a 3D/4D scan at 21 wks to try and find out and that lady said 80% girl. I am still not convinced though. I'd ideally love another girl but I am scared they've gotten it wrong.
How do you girls get to go for all these other scans? I don't get anymore. I'd love to go for another one, do I just go and get a referral from my GP? Do I say its coz I want to find out the sex?
you could ask for a referral with sex of baby but you would have to pay for that. Or you could just book yourself one of the 3d ones & pay for that.
ORR you could claim some medical reason to warrant a ultrasound...
Mine that have been after the 20 week scan have either been growth scans or checking the position of the placenta
With my 3D scan I paid for that. I'd love to go for another one but DH is convinced they've gotten it right and its a girl. I just want to know for sure though.
I asked for a measurements US to check all sizes of bubs and i didnt have to pay. Also at 35 weeks they did a scan to check fluid levels as we thought i was leaking fluid.
I didn't have it happen but I do know someone who had 8 scans and on all of them they told her it was a boy but out popped a girl. Ultrasounds are not always accurate.
The ultrasound can only ever give up to 95% accuracy, which means at least 1 in 20 gender guesses are wrong, but actually it's probably more common than that.
Why not just stick to gender neutral clothes and colours. That's what we've done, despite believing since week 19 that we "know" what we're having. There's brown, yellow, orange, black, white, grey, green, red in all different shades. It's really easy to stick to gender neutral. Actually, I seem to have ended up with a baby's wardrobe of bright-citrus colours which look really cute and colourful, reminds me of a rainbow.
Not to mention the fact that the baby doesn't actually care what it's wearing or what colour the nursery walls are (although I'd steer clear of blood red walls, just in case).
MuminTraining:Omg you poor thing, still going through all of this. Havent seen you for awhile. Glad to hear that bubs kidneys are ok. I hope that you get a more clear idea at your next scan. Look forward to hearing how it all went.
