to think sonographer may have given game away?

[lalalonglegs]

I went for five month scan yesterday (all well ) and sonographer asked if dh and I wanted to know sex of baby - we both said no. After that the sonographer dutifully referred to "it" and "the baby" but once she said "he" - now I feel all confused. I don't mind what I have - already have a son and daughter - but really mind knowing, I wanted a surprise. Do you think her saying "he" was a giveaway or could I be reading too much into situation?

Don't read anything into it though my sonographer did the same and he was a he

same thing happened to to me - sonographer called the baby a he - we were convinced it was a boy - so much so that when my dd finally emerged and we were told it was a girl I actually thought they were having a joke with us!

it?mine always said theres babys x and baby x and so on

oh and my mother was told i was going to be a boy during scan so even if she thought he was a he could be a she.im living proof

I can vouch for sonographers (and doctors) not always being too careful with their choice of words...

We had "How far along are you?" as one sonographer started, when it was a scan related to fertility problems.

We had "So, twins eh?" just before a scan started, on more than one occasion, when one of the twins was deceased. Same from midwives, doctors and, I kid you not, even the flippin' registrar at the town hall (mention was made of twins on the paperwork from the hospital).

Several references to "she" when he was known and documented to be a boy. One consultant even said she about 2 minutes after calling him she and being corrected that he was indeed a he.

Those were before he was born. After birth, in intensive care he was referred to as she a couple of times, despite them using blue labels on boys' incubators and pink ones on the girls'.

I once went in to hospital to find him with a pink wooly hat on. I swapped it forthwith.

On the other hand, none of any of that seemed to matter much in the great scheme of things. But I certainly wouldn't think you should not read too much in to a slip of the tongue (or indeed their ability to read notes).
