It's a boy! My doctor let it slip...
Just went to the doctor for my 36 week visit. Everything looks great! Then he asked if I knew what I was looking at during the ultrasound. I had no idea... he then pointed out the baby's testicles and penis! Up until now my husband and I did not want to know the sex of the baby. I let him know that we didn't want to know and of course my OB apologized. I was a little upset, however super excited as well. 
Has this happened to anyone?

Re: It's a boy! My doctor let it slip...
Yikes! I have major control issues and even though I told the US tech as the 20 week appointment that we didn't want to know, I spent the whole time trying to trick her into using gendered pronouns. Are you super disappointed that he ruined the surprise?
But then... A BOY! Congrats!
Congrats on a little boy, even though its not how you wanted to find out.
We are team green but at my 20 wk ultrasound I swear the tech let it slip it's a boy but then today my doc referred to lo as she so I'm pretty clueless.
OMG I would be pissed off. Congrats on the baby boy, but man waiting that long without knowing and then finding out would make me so angry.
Im sorry!
Aw sorry your doc spilled the beans. I hope you're not too disappointed.
Congrats on Team Blue though.
Congrats on your little boy! I completely understand your frustration with finding out the way you did.
My first pregnancy I was team green as well. Around 37 weeks I saw a different dr in the practice. His nurse said something along the lines of, "so, you're having a little boy." Umm... I don't know what I'm having. I went home and cried, not b/c she said it was a boy, but b/c we made it 37 weeks and she ruined it. Then, when I was in L&D I had a nurse and the anesthesiologist say something about having a boy. At that point I was like, "I guess so." A few hours later our daughter was born.
Oh my gosh, that's a cute story!
Oh my gosh! I'm so paranoid about this happening. When I have my last u/s, I'll be sure to say something to the doctor about not wanting to know.
Congratulations on being team blue!!
My husband and I are pregnant with our first. We went in for our 20 wk ultrasound and made it very clear that we did not want to know or even accidentally find out the baby's sex. The tech was great and we made it throught the appointment successfully. However, at our 22 wk appt. when the doc went over the ultrasound results she totally told us we were having a boy. I was VERY upset as I felt very strongly about not finding out. The doc apologized left and right, but it was too late obviously. Appartently the tech is supposed to leave the gender off the report if the parents don't want to know. Needless to say, it is done and over with and we can't do anything about it so we shared the news and are now keeping the name a secret! Im slowly coming to terms with knowing and defintely plan to take EVER percaution next baby to make sure this doesn't happen again. So I totally understand what you went through!
I would be so upset. My doctor doesn't even know what we are having, it isn't in our records.
