2 boys but now team purple??

I'll be 19 weeks on Friday. Two weeks ago the ultrasound tech at our MFM told us we were having two boys. I have pictures with arrows pointing to the tell-tale spots. Fast forward to today, and at our regular OB appointment, the tech said that we are having a boy AND A GIRL!

We told her what the MFM had said (and he has a better machine) and the tech today said that she has been doing this for 30 years and that we are having a girl. Ha! She thinks the MFM got pictures of the sw twin twice.

Obviously most importantly they're both healthy, with good heartbeats, etc. They're great and I'm great. We haven't bought one single thing yet.

We go back in two weeks to the MFM. Only time will tell I guess! Anyone else have this happen?

Wow that is crazy I often wondered if the same thing is possible for me. Baby A has been really difficult to look at but MFM said that they are both girls. We are having an ultrasound my OB on Friday. They have not done one yet so I am curious to see if they still think they are girls.

I hear it happens all the time! A girl on pgal when I was there was told at her a/s i think at 20ish weeks it was a boy and that was as her last ultrasound so imagine her surprise when she gave birth to a baby girl

Yikes! Hoping my twins are actually a boy and girl

I was told boy/girl twins at a the NT scan but then when I went for the anatomy scan at 16 weeks they were definitely two boys. Both appts were with the same MFM.

I was so so worried about that! Congrats!

Thanks ladies.. Now I just don't know what to think! Was yesterday's tech wrong? Or was the MFM wrong? Two weeks until the next appointment. Definitely not buying anything or painting yet!

I tend to trust an MFM over a tech but if the tech has tons of experience then she might be the expert in this case. Our MFM's ultrasound machine is SO much clearer than the OB's. However, as time passes the boy/girl parts become more visible and defined. Sounds like you can definitely buy boy stuff and gender neutral colors for now but wait a couple weeks till that next MFM appt to get any cute girly pink outfits.

My OB stopped doing US and I only get them at the MFM and they send them over to the OB...I always ask...still a boy and a girl? After 3 US where it was very clear...I feel pretty confident...normally the MFM folks are pretty good about sticking with the same baby until they finish, then moving to the second baby....

Will be interesting to see how this turns out for you!

It's kinda exciting that you have this little mystery! Congrats on healthy babies and get some name options ready just in case. Keep us posted!

I had never believed that baby b was a girl. I asked every time, and finally at 32 week, my dh was like "it's a girl- they've checked every time!" I just kept dreaming of a b/g set. And as we all know, twin dreams are very scientific.
