Sudden gender change

[Zahrah5]

My cousin is due this month and they just got the news their boy is very likely a girl . Is this possible? They already have bough everything for a boy, got blue gifts, picked a name. It must must be shocking, not meaning in a bad sense but a big change weeks before birth.

Now I am starting stressing out, we are supposed to be team pink, just got pink pram last week and car seat, loads of girly clothes, i have name, I am not even looking at boys names...

We had gender tested as part of Harmony test at 10 weeks and then confirmed by fetal specialist doctor at scan at 17 weeks. We did not ask on 20 weeks scan about gender anymore.
Im just not sure how reliable it all is now.

Anyone has similar experience or worries?

we didn't find out the sex with DD, mum pointed out that she'd been told that my sister was a boy, so all of our equipment is unisex and we had plenty of unisex clothes. This time round if bump turns out to be a boy rather than the girl we've been advised it won't be an issue, because we still have all of that unisex stuff and even the white stuff that I've taken Dylon to is greens and yellows with a bit of lilac that would still accessorise well with blue. A lot of people didn't get us gifts for DD until they'd found out the sex though, so there is also plenty of pink...

Zahrah unfortunately they sometimes do get things wrong or miss things. It's not an exact science. However it wasn't many years ago that scanning machines didn't exist at all, and people would have no idea of potential issues until the baby was born. We are very lucky to be in the position we are in, where we can be monitored and the majority of problems identified. They don't claim to be able to pick up 100% of problems and they don't claim to be able to tell the sex (not gender) of every single baby. Of all the things they check for at your scan, the sex of the baby is the least important and afforded the least time.
