Why I am happy to be team green...

Not posting this to freak anyone out and obviously everyone knows that this is a possibility...

My bestfriend just gave birth to a beautiful healthy baby GIRL.

.... She was told she was having a boy.

I am in such shock right now I don't even know what to think!!

I helped her set up the nursery, and we had a boy themed baby shower, and have tons of boy clothes.... And have been referring to the little baby as "Jackson" for 21 weeks.

I feel terrible for her! Obviously she is grateful to have a healthy baby (and might I add a quick and smooth labor) but she is in such shock! I can't imagine bonding to a baby and then finding this out.

..... My head is spinning.

Oh lord this is my worst fear!! Im scared she will grow something by the time i have her...

Ha! Yeah, if I hadn't done the genetic test I'd be waiting until birth to be truly convinced baby was a girl. This happens way too often.

That's the third time I've heard of that happening in the last month! I had 2 ultrasounds at the hospital last week and had both techs double check to make sure my little girl didn't have a weiner haha.

My Doctor said they have only been wrong twice in 14 years and they were both told to be girls and ended up having a boy. He says its a lot harder to get a boy wrong because there is clearly extra parts.

Haha I guess you never know. I am having another ultrasound at 28 weeks so hopefully they will look again.

This happened to a woman at the bloodwork lab I go to. She was told she was having a girl and made up her nursery with a tinker bell theme. Yea, no she had a boy. I don't think this happens too much for anyone to seriously worry

Oh man. How crazy!

During our u/s this one had to pee and had a little baby boner. The Dr said he would pay for the surgery to make this one a boy if he was wrong lol. I'm not too worried.

This was exactly what I asked for at my 2nd US. The tech showed me baby's "folds" so hopefully no surprises for me.

@sbevann26‌ what happened to your friend was terrible! I think the other way around is more common. Cuz sometimes boys hide their third leg and are mistaken as girls....hope she can return a lot of her clothes...

Happened to my friend too & she was all drugged up from long labor and c section. I was the first friend to walk in there with a blue balloon just to have my jaw hit the floor.

My ultrasound tech did say at our a/s that she was so sure mine's a girl that if she wasn't a girl at birth I had full permission to hunt her down.

This happened to a friend of mine. She had a girl shower with pink and purple everything and posted a picture of the u/s saying "it looks like she's sitting on glass" well turns out that she was a he.

I'm so afraid of that happening! But they have checked gender twice for me and said it was A-okay to buy pink.

This is exactly what happened to my mom. They were certain after three separate ultrasounds that my sister was definitely, 100% a boy. They had everything picked out. When the doctor said she was a girl, it was awesome! (for me at least, I didn't want a brother :P)

Shocking but thank goodness her baby is doing well! I will be super surprised if we have a girl because she clearly has something odd growing down there otherwise. It seemed very clear on the ultrasound. But there's always that tiny chance.

Omg!!! I'm going to freak out if the baby is not a boy because we are in painting mode. That alone would be so frustrating!!

kimba1976 · August 2014

Wow, I can't imagine the shock of KNOWING you're having one sex and then finding out at delivery it's another. At least she'll have a great story to tell.

*Sitting over here smugly on Team Green*

Whether it was a boy or not, I knew I wanted a blue nursery. If little guy pops out and is a little girl, she will have a cute bow tie onesie to come home in. But then I get to go shopping again!

I'm having a daughter, but partner and I both HATE over-gendering babies- why does my newborn need a tutu? Or a giant flower headband? Oh yeah, she doesn't. So if it ended up being a boy, everything we own would stay and be fine!

We only have one or two pink things, and even then... whatever! The kid is just gonna poop on it anyway! lol

I can think of a lot of things that could be worse. If I come home with a healthy, happy child, I could give a rat's arse about his/her genitals.

That said, if it happened to me, my poor son would have to cross-dress until I felt up for a shopping trip
