I have an irrational fear....

That even though they told me the baby is a girl I'm going to go back in a few weeks and find out it's a boy.

I'd be happy with a healthy baby of either sex but after I found out it's a girl I've really associated this baby with being my future daughter.

Am I crazy??

FYI my a/s was when I was 16w6d

This is totally how I felt after they told me she was a girl!!! Thankfully, since then I have had two more ultrasounds that confirmed it and an amnio that really confirmed it!! lol...but I totally get how you feel!

I'm afraid if I'm told mine is a girl, that it will be born a boy lol.

I wanted a girl really badly.

When the tech said it was a boy last night, first she said "I think it is a boy" but baby was moving so much if was hard to get him to hold still. Then she said, "no, I mean, I know it is a boy". She kept trying to point things out to us, but I can't help but wonder if all the movements would cause her to mistake and guess.

However, as much as I wanted a girl, afterwards we gleefully went and bought a TON of adorable boy clothes so now I am actually fearing that we will find out it was not accurate! lol.

I feel this way too. The first tech couldn't tell and we asked the second tech at the end of the appointment and she said looks like a male and walked out before we could see anything or ask any questions. I am happy with a boy but she didn't sound too confident. But can you really mess up a boy? My next appointment isn't until the 19 th so I M guessing I am going with boy.

Dont worry your not crazy.I have heard many people have this fear. A co-worker of mine asked them to double check the sex everytime because she kept thinking they would say it was a boy after she picked a name and bought all this pink stuff.

I'm having a boy, but before I found out I was worried that if it was a girl, I wouldn't trust it completely, just because I thought it must be easier to see a boy. Honestly, I do feel more confident knowing it's a boy, even though I know the ultrasound technology is pretty advanced and the technicians are trained to see either gender.

I feel the same way, even though our A/S was very clear! I probably won't feel better til our elective 3-D scan in Decemeber.

That is totally rational. Its my third biggest fear right now. Of course numbero uno is Baby not being healthy. Number two is that Baby will be shy and not show us the sex in a couple weeks. Number three is that they will tell me one sex, then I will find out its the opposite sex when its born.

Dont worry, irrational is being afraid Baby will have two heads or one eye. And I am willing to bet your cutie has one perfect head!
