Ultrasounds and gender?

Hey ladies!!
Im new to this forum and this is my first thread!!

I just resently had my 20 week scan and asked to find out the gender!! I have two boys already and was expecting a 3rd.... when she told me it's a girl!! :dance:

I couldn't beleive!! She told me that she could see the typical 3 white lines, the labia!! She said she was 95% sure and then also showed us that there was no "dangly" bit where if it was a boy would be!! She said if she was me she would be out buying girls things... she seemed very confident and sure!! After the scan had finished she then went on to tell me again that she checked a number of times and it is def a girl!!
The place where I had my ultrasound is Ultrasounds for women, so they have seen plenty of pregnant women on a daily basis!!

So my question is!! If you were me, would you be confident in beleiving you are in deed having a girl? I wish I didnt have these doubts.... but have heard so many stories about women being told one and giving both to the other!!!
Please help me feel more confident!! :redface:

I hope I have put this in the right section!!

I'd believe it :) She sounds pretty sure. I've been told what all my boys were, even one at 13 weeks, and they were all right :)

Congrats on a girl !!

I'd start shopping well I did I found out all of mine and they've never been wrong

I would believe it if person doing scan was confident.

If its east melb US for woman they are fantastic.

Congratulations!!

It was Dr Max Hardy Ultrasound for women, in the eastern suburbs!!

I have been through them with all my pregnancy!! I found out with my 2nd bub, they said boy... and he was!!

Two of my friends went to the same place and they were told they were having a girl... and they did!!

Thank you so much for your replys, you have made me feel so much better.... I think Im going to like this forum.... it's nice to hear from kind supportive women!!

Congratulations on your little princess!
By the sounds of it the lady was really confident so I'd believe her. :hug:

xox

she sounded pretty confident, my ultrasound tech was the same and we are expecting a little girl

hehe - i was in the same situ after my 20 wk scan with my 3rd - and i went out and bought lots of pink! (and sold most of my blue on ebay) so yes i think enjoy yourself shopping for pink things. When the scans are pretty clear like that then there's little doubt.

Enjoy your girl after 2 boys, it's great fun (and the boys are just as much fun but you'll know what i mean)

I have been a midwife for 4years and so far only one has been wrong (1500 babies a year) so I would be confident also your having a girl. CONGRATULATIONS!

How exciting!! Congratulations!

I'd be pretty confident in what the sonographer told you - scans are pretty clear and accurate these days, technology moves forward every six months with scans so I think that you've been given the correct information!

Congrats again on your little princess!

That sounded pretty confident.

My U/S sound lady told me my third was girl too (after two boys) and when I asked her how sure she said 90%, so I was cautious and made sure I had a little look when she was born before telling DH we did indeed have a girl! :dance: I had already done a little bit of Ebay shopping before in anticipation :shhh:
I always knew the gender of all our babies and DH didn't ;) Oh, and that was with his knowlege of course, as in he didn't want to know and I did.

WOO HOOO Girly shopping! Enjoy it! :)

I'd start buying pink stuff!!!! If your gender determination was at 20w, you can be pretty certain that it's accurate, it is more when determination is made in the early 2nd trimester, that it can be a bit hard to tell for sure. I had my determination made at 19w with my oldest daughter, and it was obviously right... and with this one (a girl) it was made at 19w & then again at 23w, and both times it looked VERY convincingly like a girl. I think they just can't say "I'm 100% sure" incase it turns out to be long & their are repercussions for them.

I've had all my u/s by Max Hardy and so have some of my friends- he was correct on the gender of my ds and of everyone else that i know who has seen him. Congratulations!

Thank you everyone for your replys...

Ginger- they are fantastic there, I have been there for all my ultrasounds with all 3 pregnancy!! I havent personal had Dr max Hardy do one of my ultrasounds, but the women I have had seem to be just as fantastic!! I was told with ds2 that I was expecting a boy at my 20 wk u/s.... and they were correct!! But Ive heard alot of stories ive women being told one gender and out pops another!! After having 2 boys I have to admit I am very excited to be told Im having a girl... but if she pops out a he... I will be just as happy!! A healthy baby is all that matters!!
