Chances of them getting the sex wrong?

[LifesUPandLifesDOWN]

Just wondering what the chances of the sonography getting the sex of the baby wrong is?

I'm 27 weeks now, at my 20.6 week scan I was told baby was a girl but their never 100% with girls. I thought baby was a girl from the moment I found out n had already bought pink stuff ect. But the past couple of days I've been wondering if their wrong, when I think about baby I keep thinking "he" instead of "she"

But with my first pregnancy I had my scan at 19.6 days and baby was definitely a boy. So my thinking is that by 20.6 weeks if baby was a boy his willy would definitely be showing? So if they didn't see a willy at 20.6 weeks then its most likely baby is a girl,

I just cant get the niggle out my head lately that they've got it wrong. It's very unlikely isn't it? I'm worrying over nothing arnt I. Someone reassure me please!

I'm not heartless btw I'd love baby no matter what, I had a son who was dying inside me last year and if I had another son I'm worried he'd remind me too much of his brother. A girl would be easier because she could never be her big brother whereas I worry a boy would remind me too much if you understand what I mean x

We were told girl at the 20 week scan. I asked again at a growth scan at 32 weeks and she said definitely girl so I'm sure now. If it really matters to you then you could always have a private scan to check?

We were told they could give a prediction of a girl with 80% accuracy at 20 weeks.

We then had a 3D scan at 28 weeks and the chap said he was 90% certain it was a girl.

A week later we had to have a growth scan and the sonographer said she was pretty certain the baby was a girl but they can never be 100%

I'm having a positioning scan tomorrow (37weeks) and I shall ask again just in case they have the time to double check, but I expect to hear the same thing. No one will say it's 100% a girl.

But if it makes you feel better, we've already spent a fortune on a girly room and clothes! So if she is a boy he'll temporarily have to wear pink until we can afford to buy some less feminine clothes. I'm pretty certain the baby won't care either way!

It depends on how well they saw the baby's undercarriage.

If the sonographer said they saw the lines that are indicative of labial folds, then it's highly likely it is a girl. If it's simply no obvious willy then it's far less certain.

I had a private gender scan at exactly 16 weeks, was told a boy, but come back next week for confirmation.

Went back at 17 weeks and was told 99% a girl, they couldnt be more sure.

Waiting to 20 weeks now to check again!

We were told "probably a girl" on the basis of no boy bits (but the sonographer struggled to get a clear view) at 20 weeks. Then I had a private gender scan at 23 weeks (as I, like you, had niggles) and the sonographer said that she was 100% confident that the baby was a girl. I also had a growth scan, done by my consultant, at 28 weeks, and he said "definitely" a girl, so after 3 scans I'm starting to believe it (I have boys already). I asked my community midwife (just in a making conversation sort of way) how often they get the gender wrong, and she said that it was rare - she could only remember one in our whole midwifery area (i.e. the county, not just her patch) in the last few years.

I already have 2 ds . I found out each time and they were correct . This time I had my scan at 20+6 and was told a boy and shown his willy which was quite clear to see ! So from what I saw I am pretty sure he is a boy . Only 18 more weeks to go !

We had a private gender scan at 17+3 and saw his willy. The lady said there's nothing else he could be. I think with girls its slightly more difficult to be 100% sure.

We were told girl at 20 weeks I just couldnt believe them I had tons of growth scans and a 4d scan and got them to check every time they always said girl but as she was breech they couldnt get a really good look, even lying in theatre having a section I had visions of them saying "it's a boy!"...it was a girl :) you hear the odd story of them getting it wrong but on the whole they get it right

My midwife said, they are never 100% sure about little girl predictions as that of boys. Because what they assume a girl could be a little boy hiding their bits, even if the legs are not crossed!! So it could be possible that it is wrong.
However, most ultrasounds are fairly accurate at that point in a pregnancy. With technology and expert technicians, prediction is pretty on point when it comes to determining gender. There is always a chance that they could be wrong, but if she saw and showed you labia, it's a girl!
Try to keep your baby shopping unisex or keep receipts handy for any clothing you have bought.

I had ultrasound yesterday and she said she was 90% sure it was a girl because of no boy bits, my mum and me saw 3 lines and no sign of boy bits but I've got a niggling feeling that she's might be wrong and I don't want too get too excited, I've already got 4 boys and although I love this baby too I'm just so frightened I'd hate it if it's a boy. I've gotta go back in 4 weeks for growth scans due to possible wrong dates so I think I'll get them too check again.
