The amazing gender changing baby!!!

[mumintraining]

Hi all, just wanted to find out if this has happened to anyone else out there.

Every time we have a scan we are told our baby is the opposite gender. First boy 14 weeks then 4 days later girl. Now today 30 weeks boy and I have another opportuity for a scan tomorrow. I just want to know one way or another, if I dont get boy tomorrow I am more than likely going to want to throw a tantrum in frustration.

I did the whole wanting girl then getting used to boy only to be told girl, then mising out on boy etc I swing from one to the other and its just plain confusing.

My poor Mum and MIL are totally stumped as to what to get (I know my mum just finnished making a beautiful smocked dress for our little 'girl' - she even put it off just in case it was a boy but decided to go ahead anyway).

I just want to be able to go into a baby shop and make a decision on stuff without having to worry about my choices. I know that clothes etc can be exchanged but I really want to buy the other stuff like curtains and wall decorations.

Is there anyone out there that has gone through this that can relate? I'm just not sure how i'm meant to make sense of this.

Oh encase your wondering If my priorities are totally off - The reason for the scan (one undersized kidney) came back all clear. Boy or girl this is one very healthy and happy baby, and I truly do appreciate that.

I was told at 19 weeks i was carrying a girl....and then at 21 weeks told i was carrying a boy....i have another scan at 33 weeks so i hope to find out a bit more certainty!

With my 1st we decided we didnt want to know and lukily enough everytime bubs legs were crossed (ended up being a boy) .. This time we had our 18 week scan... the lady said "if i had to guess i'd say girl"... we were happy but wanted more then a guess... I planned another scan for 2 weeks time. Got told it was 60% chance it was a boy. i had gotten excited and it had changed. Then i decided to check agaon... told 70% chance of a girl.... WTF... SO we were were exactly... We could either pick 1 or the other... I decided to wait few more weeks and try again. so we planed 1 for 30 weeks. voila we were told 90% chance it was a girl... i was still cautious so planed yet another at 35 weeks and again the lady said definatley a girl... they were right we had a girl... I'd wait a few weeks get another scan or go some place else. try to get a % but i had a friend who was told boy... brought all boy stuff and had it confirmed it was a boy and ended up with a little girl

I would think at 30 weeks it should be pretty accurate!!! fingers crossed for you.

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
