Any moms on here have a baby opposite of the sex Dr. told them it was?

I've had 3 ultrasounds that showed girl but this week I keep wondering "what if its a boy?".  We need to come up with a backup name just in case.  Did this actually happen to anyone?

LOL, I hear about this happening a lot but have only seen it once.  Our u/s tech swears you should never think it is a boy and get a girl but it does happen the other way around.

That happened to a friend of mine.  She was told it was a boy but it was a girl.

If you've had three u/s and any of them were past week 20, I think you're ok.  FWIW, when I compared Gabe's u/s pic to my niece's u/s, there was NO question in my mind that he was a boy.

I'm pretty certain there's no penis hiding in there, but still, its a fear I have. I would be thrilled either way but I feel like we've been calling her Olivia for months now.

same here - but they discovered it during a u/s around 35 weeks or so. It was still way late since they had already bought boy stuff but at least she knew prior to the birth.

A girl I went to college with was told she was having a girl, but it was actually a boy.

You could always make a last minute switch to Oliver!

I had several u/s's after 20 weeks, and on all of them it was VERY obvious that one was a boy and one was a girl.  They were quite different looking.  Unless you've just gotten bad shots of the goods at every u/s I don't even understand how experienced techs can make a mistake like that.  Once maybe, but 3 different times?  I'm going to bet that you've got a girl in there.

I can see it happening once.  Supposedly you can mistake the umbilical cord for a penis, if it is positioned the right way.  That is the one that should never happen though.  The girl being mistaken for a boy, which is more common can happen when the penis blends in with the leg, or is bent in a strange way.

I have heard of girls looking like boys - their parts are swollen.

Had a friend, told it was a boy until the 8 month, move to a new town, gets a new doc and it is a girl.

Had a another friend, told is was a girl, u/s two days before birth, still a girl and has a boy!
