4D scan sex slip up

Hi all,

Not really sure why I'm writing this, but not sure who else to speak to about this.

Currently 35 weeks pregnant.

All the way through the pregnancy, my husband and I have been adamant we didn't want to find out the sex, so whenever we have had a scan, at 20 weeks etc, we have told the sonographer and looked away when they were checking 'that area'.

Arriving at our 4D scan I told them we didn't know the sex and didn't want to know. This was wrote down on our form, and when we entered the room, I explained it again to the sonographer. So whilst we was doing the well being check, again we looked away when she was checking the bladder etc.

Half way through the 4D scan, i had to move a bit as the face was being obstructed by the cord, and then I heard the sonographer say 'He's moved a bit now'.

I know my husband didn't hear because she said it so quietly, and I was in absolute shock that she had said it, but I didn't want to kick up a fuss and ruin it for my husband.

It's really been bugging me as I feel like we've made it all this way without knowing, and now I feel like I know it's a boy and the surprise has been completely ruined for me. (Don't get me wrong, I'm happy either way, but was really looking forward to that amazing surprise moment at the end!)

I feel like I should have said something at the time, but I've obviously left it too long, and it's just been eating away at me that I now know what we're having because of her silly slip up 😩
