At our scan we saw a 'hamburger' but now I am thinking what if it was wrong... I have seen scan's of boys and they look way different and bubs had her legs wide open... has anyone actually seen a hamburger on the scan and then had a boy come out, if that makes sense...

I wouldn't mind but we have started buying girly clothes and MIL has been buying dresses etc... maybe we shouldn't buy too many girls things... hee hee ]]> Mon, 22 Sep 2008 18:27:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18099&PID=496896&title=how-common-is-it#496896 <![CDATA[how common is it???? : With DD1 I was told boy @ 20 weeks...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18099&PID=496650&title=how-common-is-it#496650 Author: xox6Girls1Boyxox

With DD1 I was told boy @ 20 weeks luckily I had to go and have the another scan @ 24 weeks & then the same woman said she was a girl.

She showed me the hamburger so It was very obvious, I reminded her that I was in with her just 4 weeks prior and she had told me boy & she just said that she must have mistaken the cord for a penis...

 

With this baby it was very obvious he was not a girl, as his scrotum and penis were clearly visible....

Well how dumb is this ? when Caitlyn was born i had been told i was having a girl , then i looked down and saw the umbilical cord and in my tired post labour state, i thought it was a penis (a pretty good sized one tho! ) and i just thought "oh dear....i hope you dont mind wearing pink for a few weeks "
then my friend looked at me and said "kel.....it IS a girl "

I'm worried too that our girl will be a boy! We were told 80% chance of a girl, but we did see the 'hamburger' on the scan, and having seen some friends' scans of their boys (where it was VERY obvious it was a boy), I'm pretty convinced she's a girl! Our radiographer tried to "shake-out" any dangly bits to no avail, and both DH and I had strong girl vibes before the scan, so here's hoping!

We would obviously still love to have a boy, but all the pink stuff would be a bit obselete! ]]> Wed, 11 Jun 2008 13:49:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18099&PID=409922&title=how-common-is-it#409922 <![CDATA[how common is it???? : The people I bought my pram off...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18099&PID=409183&title=how-common-is-it#409183 Author: cuppatea

When i was 18 weeks the scan person said it was "more likely a girl" ( i thought, ok, as long as thats more likely a HUMAN girl ) then at a scan i had at 30 weeks she showed me Caitlyn's "hamburger" .

Most cases i've heard of when they say its a girl, its a girl .
When i was a bethany there was a girl who was told she was having a girl and another who was told she was having a boy and they gave birth a day apart-the girl who was expecting a boy got a girl and vice versa........so they swapped clothes haha.

It depends how good a look they get tho, there was absolutely no mistaking the girly bits on this wee bub, but with the gremlins when I first found out the gender at 17 weeks they could pick Mercedes for certain but couldn't say 100% for Sienna coz of the angle she was on. ]]> Tue, 10 Jun 2008 16:30:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18099&PID=408959&title=how-common-is-it#408959 <![CDATA[how common is it???? : I know what you mean about the...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18099&PID=408949&title=how-common-is-it#408949 Author: Zebra7

I know what you mean about the pink things aussiegirl! My mother went into overdrive with the knitting and buying once we were told it's a girl and now my dad is constantly teasing her that it's going to turn out to be a boy

I believe that the odds on getting a girl identity wrong are higher than a boy. Eg. if they say you're getting a boy - odds are that you are getting a boy. But with girls - if they say you're getting a girl there's more chance that they can be wrong.

I would suggest another scan further along in your pregnancy for a second 'look' if you really want to be sure.

Good luck! ]]> Tue, 10 Jun 2008 15:58:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18099&PID=408917&title=how-common-is-it#408917 <![CDATA[how common is it???? : ok so ive been told im having...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18099&PID=408882&title=how-common-is-it#408882 Author: sonyaw

ok so ive been told im having a girl this time to my excitement as i already have 2 very handsome boys but somehow dont think id handle another hehe just my excuse for wanting a princess

how common is it that radiographers get the gender wrong??

do you know of someone or some people who this has happened to or had experience in this yourself??

one of my good friends got told she was having a boy (1st child) and ended up having a girl...

i just cant stop thinking about this i think because im still in shock at getting my princess this time round.
