Has this happened to you?

Today we had our anatomy scan and the sonographer had a bit of difficulty finding the sex. In the end she told us that she was 80% sure that we are having a girl (yay!). It was a little anti-climatic though not being completely sure. Has this happened to you, but you ended up having the right gender?

Just not sure whether to buy any pink outfits!

TIA

They normally only go with 80% odds i thought. To save there bum if they are wrong.

But 80% is pretty good. Id say you are having a girl

haha, at my scan with my first they said "its more likely to be a girl " not even a percent ......scan at 30 weeks showed the "hamburger" and yup, 9 years later I can say she is definetly a girl

This baby at both 16 weeks and 19 the sonographer said DEFINETLY a girl, and when I asked him he said he was 100 percent certain,which should be good enough for me, and even tho I feel its a girl, I still want to triple check haha .....didn't have this issue with Ty ,there was no mistaking that third bit between the legs

the sonographer said to us that she was 'fairly' sure it was a girl - 99% but she is normally 99.9% apparently - babe had her legs crossed the whole time, very firmly! we tried not to think of babe as a 'she' (and failed miserably!) but it didnt matter because it turned out that she was in fact a wee girly

Thanks all. I don't think I'll ask for another scan, but I remember that my mw said that she will refer me later on before birth to check position etc so can always double check then. TBH, I already have a cool boy and would be quite happy to have another, but I do feel strongly that it is a girl so am happy to go with that instinct. Besides, my mum is convinced it's a girl and she's usually right!

Hi - not sure if this is helpful or unhelpful !! BUT it can't help to have a another example for comparison - my sonographer is absolutely certain I am going to have a girl - she is a family friend so she said there is no way she would want to get it wrong because she wouldn’t live it down she checked about 4 times just to make sure.

That's what happened with us MF - she said, 'last picture' and then I had to say, 'can we find out what it is please' and by then the baby (who had been in a perfect position) decided to cover everything up! Good luck with next week's scan!

At our 20w scan it was towards the end and she said do you want to know, I asked if she knew (I thought I had seen the 3 lines for a girl, although DH was going to find out and I wasnt) and she said no, when she did look at that area I didnt see anything. Turns out DD is a girl I think they are actually too busy making sure everything else is doing its thing to worry if its a girl or boy...
The sonographer wouldnt write it on a piece of paper though since nothing is ever certain I thought that was the perfect solution to us not knowing if we wanted to find out or not!

Oh I was thinking of getting them to put the gender in an envelope (if we don't find out) to send to my friend in America, but maybe I won't ask...

Anyway with DD the scanner didn't give us odds, just said "it's a girl" and pointed out the girl bits. He didn't seem to have any doubt about it! (And yup she's a girl hehe)

Still not decided if we'll find out this time or not...
