anyone else still get super nervous about the u/s gender being wrong?

janaeashley · December 2011

I get super nervous about the u/s gender prediction being wrong!

I would feel so bad calling my baby "baby girl" and then it come out with a ween!!

I have another u/s in a week so maybe they will confirm girl. but its still making me insanely nervous lol

btw i had my anatomy scan at 19 weeks. the tech said girl. i even posted a pic on here after and asked girls if they thought it was for sure a girl and they said yes.

shannm · December 2011

Eh, it would be a surprise but the worst thing that could happen is that my boy would have a ton of cute pink outfits. Oh well.

It would make a great story for the LO later in life and as long as he/she is happy and healthy, then there is nothing to get nervous about.

Kdrake8 · December 2011

It makes me nervous too! And I don't even think that we have another ultrasound to confirm

yes you are right. if the worst that happens is the baby is actually a boy then i think its a pretty good thing.

i just have all this damn pink stuff now and it keeps piling up!!

do you have an sonography schools around you? they offer free u/s's !

june0000 · December 2011

Oh Yes, that is a clear girl! congrats!

jessandandy09 · December 2011

They were wrong with my son. They said girl. I didn't believe them tho and bought everything in green and yellow.

med380 · December 2011

This was the main reason we chose to get a 3D u/s with DS During the 3D we definitely confirmed he was all boy!

The US tech was pretty confident it's a girl this time - we clearly saw the "train tracks", but I am still contemplating getting a 3D one again.

sassafras007 · December 2011

as long as I don't pop out a corn dog I am all good!

kistjenn@yahoo.com · December 2011

I do, especially this time around cause we did a gender reveal party. So the tech did'nt give us a "money shot"....plus she did it so quickly (viewing the sex of the baby)....makes me wonder.

I've heard that tech's mis-confirm girls more than boys....which is another reason I worry.

Plus my friend was told all along that she was expecting a girl and she delivered a boy.

I guess I'll just keep my fingures crossed!

kiarstin · December 2011

I would be but I have now had 3 u/s saying boy, and I will probably have 10 more before I give birth, and they showed me a clear shot of the boy parts last time and this time, he was laying breach facing out with his boy parts blasting!

wordslikeswords · December 2011

I was at first, though it was pretty obvious at 19 weeks. I had another ultrasound at 24 weeks though, and baby was not shy. The tech even said "It's a good thing you already know it's a girl!". Plus I will have at least 2 more ultrasounds before the birth, so we'll confirm again.

Oh no this is just fueling my fears! I'm also afraid that I'll find out my baby girl is a baby boy next week at my 2nd A/S. I feel like I've really connected with the baby now that she is my daughter, and I'll be really thrown off if they tell me it's a boy! I'd be happy with a healthy baby of any sex though.

Chelsey68 · December 2011

i was so nervous the first time around that i didnt even find out. i have this bad luck with getting doctors that only do that one 20 week ultrasound. i once read on fmylife.com "pink clothes, pink nursery, pink everything and my little baby today was born with a little pink penis." ah i would die. i will be happy with either or but jeez i dont want to be set up for one and have another.

janaeashley · December 2011

seems like its a common thing to get nervous about haha. its jsut hard like some said getting connected to your "daughter" and then it being a boy! I would be like oh crap and feel bad haha

i dunno why but i thought it was a boy until they said girl. I think i half thought that though because i want a girl so badly and i didn't want to be disappointed if they said boy...

i want a girl so it just seems too good to be true lol

OO cupcakes OO · December 2011

You could get a 3D if you're that concerned. I wouldn't worry about it too much; they're usually 95% accurate after 18 weeks.

Ivana_Stolichnaya · December 2011

VENT...it's whiny, feel free to ignore. I'd ignore if I were you but I'm hot and bothered.

My Dr. as usual managed to get horrible shots. She's terrible with the u/s wand, barely prints out any pictures (I got 3 of almost the same pose). She goes way too fast, gets bad 2D shots, and couldn't manage to get a side profile. I understand it's a medical facility and we're there at the 'anatomy' scan to get measurements etc. and check the health of the baby...I get that, but would it kill her to take an extra minute at the end of the appointment to try to get a good picture or two? I left the appointment thinking...maybe boy?

I'm going in on Sat. for an elective 3D/4D scan just to be sure because at this time I'm not 100% set on what I saw as being boy parts 7 weeks ago. I've been around the block with seeing gender shots, what I saw on my scan had three lines, yet she said she was beyond certain it was a boy. Oh well.

HannahO28 · December 2011

A facebook friend recently gave birth to a boy, after being told all along that it was a girl. I thought that was really rare (and maybe it is), but it was certainly a shock to me to have it happen to someone I know.

Eek! Maybe I should have stayed team green!

Tambcat · December 2011

I still get a little nervous too, but I've had two techs tell me girl, I saw the 3 lines both times, and there was no wenis visible on my 4D ultrasound, so I'm pretty confident. Still, I know that anything can happen!

If I remember correctly you found out pretty early that it's a girl, right? Help me be less paranoid about my 17w gender determination .

that sucks. I feel like they need to understand that its not every day we get to see our babies and get keepsakes to remember them in our belly! I would be super pissed off to. The guy I had was pretty good. He fought with her for an hour to get a gender shot because she was not being good haha. Im glad you are able to get a 3d/4d scan though. I dont even know if we have those around here!

If I went into my anatomy scan wanting to know gender and he hadn't given me one i would have been pretttttty mad even though i know it depends on the baby position and such. Good luck!! I really hope you get what you want!

this is sorta what im hoping doesn't happen lol. I know i have at least two more u/s's before she is born so if she is really a he i think i might see by then!

Linz1233 · December 2011

You hear stories about it all of the time. I guess the tech's can't be 100% right all of the time....

Luvmy2sons · December 2011

It has crossed my mind, especially after my first a/s, because she said "I think it's a girl, but it could change." So I went for a gender determination the next morning. They got such a clear shot I was shocked. I mean, legs spread, adorable little tushie, and nodda between the legs. Not even a little bump. So i'm positive they're right. If there was a bump, like i've heard sometimes they can be swollen down there - I would second guess it. My tech for the gender determination said he's corrected over 50 wrong gender guesses, where they said girl, but it was really a boy.

easjer05 · December 2011

No, it was very clear, and the perinatologist was clear it was one sex, a seperate tech got an even clearer shot and said the same, and it agreed with the blood work we'd had done earlier.

Not concerned at all. If it did turn out to be the opposite sex, well, that's cool. I like both names. We've purchased a lot of gender neutral clothes, and may just have to pick up a few more things. No biggie.

But that is a girl, most definitely.

Wipz · December 2011

With the kind of life I have had NOTHING would surprise me

... if they suddenly said ooops sorry it's a girl..or OMG there are two in there... I think I'd probably fall off the table laughing... now hubby on the otherhand... would probably have a heart attack and gawd knows Grandma would be thrilled... but speechless lol.

We have our next scan at the hospital on the 19th at 28 weeks and 1 day and then we have an elective 3D/4D booked for Xmas eve ...28 w 6 days and that will be a family affair... so we have at least one more scan just with hubby and I to save giving anyone a heart attack at the 4D lol

Now if we really go all out and they tell me I have 3 +++ in there... then I might be surprised ROFL ...once i pick my ass up off the floor we'll be fine. That would truly be a Blackadder moment.... this has always been an all time fave episode of mine

well you are lucky you got a clear shot.. do you think my gender shot is considered "a clear shot" im new to this whole pregnancy thing so I had honestly never seen an ultrasound photo of gender before becoming pregnant!

When he first pointed to the gender i said umm what am i looking at??? lol

haha goodness you seem to be pretty open to surprise.

I have an elective u/s on the 14th and an u/s at the hospital on the 19th because I sadly have to be monitored because i have a "persistent placenta lake" which they monitor to make sure the baby is growing well. More chances to see her though.

Im hoping after 2 more u/s's ill have a pretty solid idea of what im having. I'll be 23 weeks at the 14th one and almost 24 at the 19th one so i would hope a weener would be prominent lol

I guess im used to seeing those three line from farther back images on here.. like everyones gender shots it seems to be 3 lines not like crammed up close like my gender shot is haha

That was our A/S at 19 .5wks .. so here's hoping it's really a boy or someone is in trouble lol

hewinked · December 2011

Yes, I get pretty nervous about it. But I'm anal and plan everything ahead for a specific sex. I didn't get any u/s pictures of DS's "goods" and I must have asked DH every month if he was 100% sure that what we saw were boy parts.

slcarter9114 · December 2011

My friend went to her a/s, it was a boy. Went at like 27 weeks, was told a girl. So, they had a girl baby shower. Well, they had a 4d one done and it was a BOY all along!!
