To think the sonographer could be wrong?

I’ve been told girl but I just feel like it’s protruding too much? AIBU to question this or do I just trust what the trained sonographer says? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Any parents with girls out here who had similar potty shots? I don’t know whether to book another scan somewhere else

@AbuyeHow dare you. I’ve been through hell with multiple, and I mean MULTIPLE, losses AND back in 2020 I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy who unfortunately WASN’T healthy and now has a lifelong disability. Nobody wants a healthy baby more than me. Very easy for you to sit there on your high horse when you haven’t been through the trauma I’ve been through. I’d be over the moon regardless, but there’s absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to know whether I’m having a boy or a girl and not wanting to find out that whatever sex I was told was wrong later down the line in my pregnancy. I also don’t want my son to get his hopes up for a baby sister (which he’s always wanted) if he’s having a baby brother - again, I’D BE HAPPY EITHER WAY, and I’m sure he would eventually too.

OP just scroll on and try not to let it get to you. I had two consecutive losses before my daughter. It took 5 years in total to get pregnant with her, damned was I not going to find out what gender she was. We all have our reasons, sending you lots of love.

I think it depends on who does the scan. I had a private Bupa scan with a consultant at 14 weeks. He was very confident on the babies sex and he was right. But he was leading nhs consultant doing a side hassle. I then had a nifty test. But I didn't set my heart 100% until they was born. I did this because of previous ds12 week scan on the nhs and my age and therefore raised blood risk for DS.

I'd keep a open mind until 18 weeks.

Just what the clinic calls them 🤷🏼‍♀️

Ahh, I’ve have never heard that expression. Congratulations on your baby 🥰 I’m sorry you’ve had some crappy comments on this thread.

app the sonography is looking for the ovaries not a penis . If she sees ovaries then it’s probably a girl .

Same old same old with these threads. A healthy baby boy would be a crushing disappointment.

What a fucking awful comment to make about any expectant mother. But the fact that you would make it about the OP who has been clear about the fact that she found out about her sons’ disability on a 20 week scan is beyond disgusting. If you had actually read her posts you would have understood that, and the fact that her reference to ‘worry’ was purely because her little boy was desperate for a baby sister. I’m out of this thread. I simply can’t comprehend the necessity some posters feel to put the boot in to an OP who has posted for support, and who has clearly been through so much. You should be ashamed.

My sincere apologies @cc99xo, I hadn’t read the full thread when I replied and assumed it was yet another of the ‘so disappointed I’m having a boy’ threads. I should have read all your comments before I posted and I am so sorry to hear of your experiences. I wish you a very happy and healthy rest of your pregnancy 🙏🏽

I can't speak for the OP but just to say it's not often at all that someone apologises and admits they got it wrong on Mumsnet. Fair play to you @Abuye

Wishing you a healthy pregnancy and baby girl OP. All good wishes to ye 🤗
