Was sonographer fibbing about sex of baby?

[Rosetip]

I'm 33 weeks pregnant and have had a lot of scans as baby is very big. At my last scan 3 weeks ago, I said to the sonographer at the start "I do not want to know the sex of the baby" but he made about 6 references to "his legs" or "he's turning round". Today I had another scan and saw same sonographer. I explained what had happened last time and asked if he could not give any more clues away, as I still wanted to kid myself that could be surprise at birth. He said "oh, I always refer to babies as he during scans" but I'm not sure I believe him. He had already seen my two little boys playing outside the room and possibly assumed I wanted a girl.
Any thoughts?

Reading too much into it - I had exactly the same thing, sonographers referring to 'he' during a number of scans. I had a dd. They probably think people will be upset if refer to 'it'.

At the hospital I had Ds at, the sonographer told me before every scan that he always reffers to the baby as he, but that it was no reference at all to what sex the baby was.

wheelybug, the sonographer did indeed say that he doesn't like to call baby "it" so perhaps am reading too much into it!

Given that sonographers spend all day every day scanning pregnant women, many of whom won't want to know the sex of their child, I'm sure yours will be well aware of how important it is not to blab if you've said you don't want to know. It seems entirely reasonable to me that he uses "he" as a matter of course, lots of people use the male pronoun in a generic way.
