Wrong Sex...

One of my friends had her baby today. She was told she was having a girl but it came out as a BOY! I know u/s are not 100%. If that was to happen to me I think it would take me a while to get my head around what just happened.

  • Today, we found out we are having a boy. It was very obvious. I think it's harder to be 100% sure with a girl. Hope your friend adjusts well to the change!

  • I would not deal with this well. With a name in mind, nursery decorated, I would feel like I lost a child that never existed. I'm really happy boy or girl not knowing and am glad I'm on team green.

    I didn't save any receipts with DS and I washed all of his clothes before he arrived. It was very obvious that he was a boy but you never know. I will save the reciepts this time around just in case.

  • My mom was told girl with one of my older brothers. My parents moved or she got a new dr about a month before her due date (the details are fuzzy) and he did an ultrasound and determined that it wasn't a girl. My mom kinda freaked out because she didn't have a name picked out for a boy. Luckily she had a month to think of one, but it threw her for a loop. I think I'd be shocked to give birth to the "wrong" sex with no warning. Obviously, I'd be thrilled to have a happy, healthy baby but I would need a few moments to wrap my head around the surprise.

  • You know, since words got around that I'm having a girl, someone asked me what was the percentage given that it was a girl. I just said that they technician basically said, nope no penis to be found, it's a girl! We didn't even get to see between the legs during the ultrasound (she was pretty quick about everything) and I didn't even think to ask at the moment since I was in an overwhelmed state of mind.

    I wouldn't be upset with having a boy either way, but I seriously would flip out if she turns out to be a he. We still haven't talked names so I cannot even begin to imagine how we would come up with a boy name at the last minute or all the things we buy/receive (even if we keep all the receipts).


  • This is what I'm worried about, since at our A/S the ultrasound technician said she's "fairly certain" it's a girl. I had the same technician with DD, and she seemed a lot more confident when she said it's a girl then. I keep looking back at the ultrasound pictures for this one, and it's not very clear either way because baby's legs are close together. Soooo….we're planning for a girl but also preparing for a surprise haha.

  • I would be thrown for a loop if we got the opposite. I'm a huge planner though.

  • I'm a little worried too. Tech just said its a girl and I know what a penis looks like on u/s because of DS and this one didn't have one. But this u/s was done earlier than we had with DS (17.5w this time around). And of course everyone at work has a story.
  • This happened to a close friend of mine. She was told boy and had a girl.

    This happened to my cousin...
  • My tech started her sentence by saying, "of course no ultrasound is 100% but..."
    I'm pretty confident I've got another boy because the picture looks exactly the same as my son's. But you never know!

  • At my A/S two weeks ago the doctor told me that they have actually had one of the cell-free DNA tests (Harmony, Verifi, etc.) come back wrong. Apparently there is a 1% chance of it being wrong about the sex of the baby and she seemed surprised that given how fairly new that technology is that they had already seen one that ended up being wrong.

  • I told DH if this LO is really a boy we at least have TONS of boy stuff already, no biggie. It would still be shocking though.
  • With my first, I had an elective u/s at 17 weeks which said boy - when I went for the anatomy scan at 21 weeks, they said that it was a girl, said the elective place was crazy because they were totally certain (this was a cocky old man doctor - and he was "90% sure" even though the baby's legs were crossed).. well I went back to the elective place that day freaking out and they easily gave us 10 more penis shots. This same old cocky doctor ended up telling one of my good friends that her DS2 was a girl - once again, 90% sure. 

    I said I would NEVER believe girl from an u/s ever again - but we are having a girl this time. Different doctor, legs were totally spread both times and it was very obvious not only that there was no penis, but that labia was visible. I'm still kind of doubting it, but my doctor is very certain. I think if legs are crossed, it can be hard to tell, but u/s are pretty good these days - a million times better than they were in the 70s-80s when our moms got them. 
  • Do u ladies think and elective u/s or a 3D one shows the sex better?
  • This makes me so nervous!! I'll have ~4-6 additional ultrasounds between now and then.. hopefully that decreases the likelihood of them being wrong ;-)

  • My ultrasound lady said she was 100% sure it was a girl.  I thought they were never supposed to say 100%!  So, she better be right. 
    :P

  • We had an elective ultrasound and I kept asking if she were sure (because I'm so paranoid about this as well) so she took the time to get an undeniable shot of his parts for us. I'm totally convinced that it's a boy. If he's born a she I'll deffinately be thrown for a loop.
