this is my worst fear https://community.thebump.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/18883407.aspx

I saw it on the 3rd tri board. I can't imagine...

That would be difficult to deal with. Yikes. I am glad I had an amnio and know for sure.

Mine too.  Had a dream about this and was really bummed because I was set on a girl's nursery and we have gotten some cute girl stuff already.  When you think about it though, I guess better to know now that way you have some time to make all the necessary adjustments.

ya, we were told boy and just bought a BUNCH of clothes and bedding. now im praying the dr. doesn't decide its a girl...lol. i know it doesn't really happen that often, but, you never know.

My buddy was told twice she was having a boy, and gave birth to a girl. I would be heaertbroken to find out so late after getting to plan.

When we found out boy we started buying his bedding and his room is already almost painted. We get monthly sonograms and he's still a boy, but still. I feel really bad for her.

Oh my goodness, that would be heartbreaking! At least she found out before giving birth.

 

My sister and I were just talking about this very scenario today. Wow, I couldn't even imagine!

Um,no offense, but if this is your worst fear, you have it pretty darn good.

How about worrying that your baby will come prematurely and not survive, or be born still? Sure, it might be a shock but in the grand scheme of things it's not a big deal.

That's kinda harsh - I am sure the OP think all of those things are much worse, but she was just saying how it would be rough to have this happen as well. I don't believe she LITERALLY meant it would be the worst thing.

Definitely would be a shock although, I know it happens a lot.  At least she found out weeks in advance of her due date and the baby is healthy!

And this is one of the reasons I am registering for all neutral stuff and keeping the sex a secret.  If, by some random odd, what they tell us is wrong, we won't be completely shocked and unprepared.  Definitely a mental adjustment and emotional wrench (I feel that way now, after thinking for so long the baby is a girl, that if they tell me boy, I will be a little disappointed and confused), and that is totally understandable.

But I do have to agree, minor in the grand scheme - certainly there are far worse things and outcomes that could happen.

My thoughts exactly. We've elected to not find out the gender because this stuff does happen.

I can't imagine.  But, each pregnancy I have been told that the outcome is not 100% on the sonogram.  My second pregnancy is a good example.  The sonogram tech announced we were having a girl.  I got all teary eyed and excited.  5 minutes later he goes, "Oops.  It's a boy.  His hand was hiding his penis."  My son had his hand in between his legs and it looked like the 3 little lines that you see when it's a girl.  So it happens.  Lucky for me I found out during the same sonogram that he was a boy.  But, I've always been forewarned that sonograms are not always 100% accurate at telling the sex.
