Topic: Been told the wrong sex... Posted: 28 February 2007 at 8:08pm |
I was wondering if anyone has had this happen or knows of anyone who has been told that their bubs is one sex only to get the other????
For those who havnt read my other post...
"""BOY!!!!!.... we hope! the sonographer was only 50% sure that its a boy because bubs still had his legs crossed and he thought he could see what looked a bit like a diddle but no balls!!!????? He couldnt say that its a girl because well he couldnt see much!!! he admitted that it may be the cord and to not buy anything gender specific or get too into a boy but i cant help it!!!! its so good to kinda know. It may still be a girl but im sticking with boy until proven otherwise """"
Even after being told this my family and DH! are still convinced that bubs is a girl!! which is kind of upsetting me because it feels like bubs is not being accepted so im wondering whether theres a chance or should i just go on my merry way being happy about my wee boy and not worry about them???

Ummmm... well it has happened before - on here I remember Lissel's "baby girl" turning out to be a baby boy! (I think that was the right way round?)
And especially with a 50% chance... I don't know if I'd get too excited about a boy if there is going to be disappointment if the sonographer was wrong. But if it isn't a matter of disappointment and you are prepared for the possibility of a girl then get as excited as you wish!!

at this stage it can look a bit weird, sometimes little girls bits are very swollen and can look like boys, and boys bits can be small and look like girls.. unless they got a good look i would keep it neutral until properly confirmed.

i think a lot of girls turn into boys...esp for those who had a 20 week scan or so and no more....it would pay to recheck for sure...we did...altho mum started buying pink anyways....
If cord was in way then i would suggest a rescan later on ...perhaps have a good check at a growth scan etc....we did one at 28-30 weeks and guy scanning counted out her labia etc to convince DH it was a girl...and to shut him up for me!!!! (he wanted a boy!)

My friends sister got told absolutely that her baby was a boy, sonographer was positive. Sure enough, when her baby girl was born she had alot of clothes to return!

One of my work mates was told she that they were almost certain it was a boy and he ended up being a girl

To be honest if it is only 50% then I would wait until you haved another scan and see if that can confirm it for you.

I just took it as he was 50% sure it was a boy but wasnt any % sure it was a girl BUT i did think about the swolen bits thing because he should of at least seen the balls!!! they generally stand out like...well...balls!!!  when i had a scan to find out sex of Bay his little doodley looked like a 3rd leg!!!(overexagerated but it was big!) with dangley things!!! so no mistaking there.
Well it sounds pretty common so i guess il stop my buying and wait til bubs is born to find out  Im obviously an eager beaver!! but its obvious that bubs really doesnt want us to know!

Ok so iv just recieved my scan pictures in the mail (first time i havnt been able to take them with me after the scan!!??) and the sonographer has cut off the couple of pictures that he took of bubs "gender" (the ones he was using to show me what he thought might be doddle!)????!!! Why would he do this!!!??? it has been obviously cut out of the line of photos and i saw him type "babies gender" on it! because he was writing what everything was on each photo...im really confussed as to why he did this!!??? and why i couldnt just take my photos with me like i always do????

I wouldn't trust it with that result. My sisters daughter was supposed to be a son, and her son a daughter, so unless it is obvious I don't put too much store in what they say.
Talk to your MW about another scan - that is what we are going to do. If she won't go for another normal one we might shell out for a 4d scan, that is how much we want to know!
Re scan results - give them a call!

Are we entitled to another scan or will she need to come up with an excuse for one???
How much would it cost for one if i requested it just to find out sex???
How much are the 4D ones and where are they done???

I might be wrong but I don't think you are entitled to another unless something is up, my 20 week one was to be my last but i have a low lying placenta so I have to have another @ 30weeks to see if it's moved. If it wasn't for that I wouldn't get another

Im meant to have another in the mid 30 weeks to make sure i dont get Olygohydosis again but i think that if i get that far without knowing then i may as well just wait a few more weeks to see it for myself

At my 20 week scan we were told we were having a girl. I then had a growth scan at 38 weeks and was told that it looked like 'i was having a boy!..she even showed me the bits........well I was in denial (as you would be if you thought for the majority of your pregnancy that you were having a little girl) right up until giving birth.......and well the docs held baby up, and DP proudly told me baby was a BOY.
So I'd say to stick to neutral colors, and in all honesty once you see you're baby you won't even give one single hoot about whether she's a girl or he's a boy. I had my heart set on a little girl but as soon as I saw my beautiful baby boy being held up in the air, I just cried tears of joy, we had only thought of a boys name that day aswell.
As for all my pinkies a brought...I was able to give them to my cousin who had twin girls a week before a had Kahtrell.
I can't imagine my life without him, he was, and still is the best surprise ever!

They can send you for growth scans, I think they do that around 26-30 weeks? Various places do the 4d in Auckland, the cost is over $100, but I am still shopping around.
I remembered the story my back up midwife told us last visit about one of her ladies who had been told she was having a girl, then had a boy - the lady burst into tears when told it was a boy. She had been shopping and bought tons of things all in very girly colours. The mw said, that is ok, you can take it back, upon which the lady cried harder - she had been so organised that she had washed everything before she put it in draws!
That concerned me a lot to be honest- so far I have bought nothing!

Oh my goodness!! I dont think i would cry unhappy tears if my bubs isnt what they say because i will be so over the moon to have a healthy bubs regardless of sex! I guess thats why im trying to keep open minded and find out stories so i know that it does happen.
I guess that counts me out for a 4D scan because i dont really want to drive 4 hours to get it!
But like i said - im getting use to the thought that i will have to wait till bubs is born im more anxious now to see bubs face as this was something the sonographer couldnt see and id like to know that all is well.
