Was your a/s wrong RE: gender?

Brosis

Our OB was 99% certain that our new LO will be a girl, thanks to some clear u/s shots of the goods.  I'm starting to stock up on girl clothes, shoes, etc.  And, since this will most likely be our last child, I'm also trying to part with most of DS's baby clothes (except for a few favorites). 

I can't help think what might happen if another boy pops out though & nearly all the baby items I have are for a girl.

Irrational fear or no?

Both of mine (for all 3 babies) were correct.  If your doc was certain I wouldn't worry.  But you could always do a gender scan at one of those 3D places to confirm?  Or beg your doc for another peek?

We found out Lucas was a boy at 15w and we had a gazillion u/s throughout the rest of the pregnancy and they always confirmed boy.

Ours was unmistakable at 17w and was correct.

I bought all the girlie stuff I could find with both babies. Then got really anxious at the end of my pregnancies that they would be wrong. Both times they were right.

My best friend with her third pregnancy, they said girl at the a/s they even typed it on the ultrasound. Later she had some bleeding and had another u/s at 28 weeks they said boy. It turned out to be a boy. Luckily she had a boy and girl already they are all very close in age. So she hadn't really bought much.

The 12w scan was wrong, but every scan from 16w on was correct (and I had a shitton of them)

I'm with scout: seeing girl parts = girl. Not seeing a penis =/= girl.

I had my a/s at 18 weeks a freaked out that I would end up having a boy who had to wear dresses. Another u/s at 32 weeks confirmed girl.

Congratulations!!

I had 5 u/s that said girl. 100% accurate.

Even though both of my boys were not shy about showing off their parts I still didn't feel confident until I'd had another ultrasound to confirm.  Our u/s were all correct.  Generally these days they're only wrong if they're done too early.

We were told boy at our n/t scan, but it was based on how stubborn she was being.  We were told girl at 17w and confirmed at the a/s at 20w.  Our regular u/s tech always confirmed she was "still" a girl for DH (he originally hoped for a boy).  After about 8 more u/s after our a/s DH was finally convinced she was really a girl, lol.

C gave us a clear shot at our a/s (which was at 20w) so we knew he was a boy.  I'm going to go ahead and agree with Scout, if your tech says she sees girl parts, I would feel pretty confident, but if she said that just because she didn't see a penis, then I wouldn't be so confident. 

Maybe only wash a couple of gender neutral things if you are still hestitant and wait until she's here to wash the girly stuff, that way if your tech was wrong, you can return for blue stuff.

At 21 weeks the tech confidentially told us girl and before we had the amnio results back we never thought twice that she wasn't.
