I'm convinced they have predicted wrong!

[CarCiKoTab]

So I went for my 20 week scan yesterday, it's my fourth child and I currently have two boys and a girl and if I'm honest I'm not wanting a specific sex I just wanted to know what I was having. So we first have a trainee, she let us have a go at guessing and I guessed a boy she told me I was right and she was convinced it's a boy, same as the experienced Sonographer fine.

But I'm not sure if I'm totally convinced after seeing the girls scans, they pretty much resemble what I have seen, and I have this gut feeling, I'm not carrying like I carried with my boy's and I honestly suit carrying a girl better as this pregnancy has been identical to when I was having my girl. I know they say it's not 100% accurate but also claim they usually tell you your having a girl then it pops out a boy if they do get it wrong.

Has anyone got any experience of this happening to them, told you were having a boy and it pops out a girl?

It wasn't like they had a quick look either, they looked a good few times but I'm still not convinced. It's driving me mad because I honestly believe they have got it wrong.

Maybe put up a pic of your scan here & see if anyone can see anything!

Well you'll find out soon enough anyway. It's not really a big deal.

they can get it wrong. This was a long time ago but they said my first was a girl, but I knew he was a boy and he was. He's 16 now though so technology has moved on since then.

I thought they might have got the boy prediction wrong with this one as I'm carrying and feeling V different to my first DS, plus I kept having dreams it was a girl.

Went for a growth scan a couple of weeks ago though and got a very detailed look at his balls, so I'm pretty certain he's a boy now

I think you need to try and put it from your mind now and just wait till the big day. It's much more likely that a girl prediction would be wrong anyway. Good luck either way, I'm sure it'll be a scrumptious little ball of love whatever the gender :)

It does look exactly the same as my boy scan. I've had 2DDs and 1DS and the pregnancies have all been completely different

If you really need to know can you get a private scan?

My cousin is a midwife and told me if they tell you it's a boy, it's a boy, if they tell you it's a girl it could be a boy with his bits tucked away.

I was under the impression that boy predictions were more accurate than girl predictions.

It's not like I wanted a specific sex it's just something that is bugging me immensely thinking they could be wrong lol, sounds silly. I would go for a private scan but I don't feel it's worth the cost I'd prefer to just wait plus, I like to stay organised.

Babybond do a quick gender scan for 35, maybe worth having another look? We were told girl at our private 16 week scan and then confirmed girl again at 20 weeks. I still get niggling doubts though.

Um…do you know your name, dob and hospital id is all on that picture?

Did you mean to share that much?

If they say it is a boy then they gave seen either a penis or testicles so I would be very surprised if they have both got it wrong.

hmm thanks for the heads up I didn't even think to look! Stupid me. Can I get it removed?

Forgot to mention I may let you all know if I can find this thread once baby is born.

You can report your post and I'm sure MNHQ would be happy to remove for you

No worries. Definitely let us know what you end up having :)

Can you post your 12 week scan pic??
