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.
Wow damm US - that sounds crazy. You poor thing. Glad the kidneys are alright! I have heard the US can be unreliable like that... Hope your next US sheds some light on the gender
Thanks for the feedback - nice to know it happens to others too. The reason whay we have had more US than others is that early on there was a lot of cramping so they wanted to rule out ectopic pregnancy. Then the 20 week one turned up the kidney thing so they wanted to follow up on that. In addition the OBS has a machine in his office so he lets us have a look each time we see him (every 1-2 months).
The second scan done recently said boy as well, so as DH says there is 3 boys to 1 girl so betting odds are in favour of boy.
I personally love the colour blue so even if it had been a girl she would have had a lot of blues just out of my choice. Down side is that Mum threw a surprise baby shower and there are a few VERY girly items which may look a little odd. Funny how it only looks odd one way not the other, never really thought about that before.
Oh well as I said if it is a he when his in his teens he will more than likely have girly posters on the walls so what is really wrong with a Disney Princesses Framed image. And at any rate hopefully we will be blessed with more than one little angel in the future so we will have other chances to go nuts with the pink.
Helen - I am still trying to catch up on all the messages i have missed before jumping back onto the conversation, almost up to date.
