Wrong gender?

How common is the doctors tellinf you the wrong gender at 21 weeks? We went in a week early due to me being under tons of stress. We got a ultrasound done and they said it a baby girl. We also go this Tuesday for another ultrasound (my actual gender ultrasound). My family keeps saying they could have messed up and it's making me nervous. I'm happy with either a girl or boy but I've already gotten myself so happy and excited including my husband.

    If they got a good look at 21w, they're most likely correct.  There was a similar thread posted yesterday.

    FYI...Krispy Kreme's cake batter donut is the BOMB. It's my everything today.

    Ladies don't forget buy dozen get 2nd for 78 cents. We all know you want 2 dozen.
    It would be wrong not to get the 2nd dozen...

    First, try not to stress. I know, easier said than done, as that was me the past week. Maybe do something you enjoy to help calm yourself. Second, there have been a few threads regarding this. The OP is always told the same thing, and it's true... the chances are extremely low that you would have been told the wrong sex (gender is something different). Technology now days is much better than it was to where it is highly unlikely that a trained professional doing the ultrasound would make that mistake at 21 weeks. It's safe to say you're having a girl. Sorry, but you're better off not listening to your family on this one. You're in good hands with your doctor :-) he or she spent many years in school and knows what he or she is doing and looking at. Finally, the ultrasound you're referring to is actually the anatomy scan. Finding out the sex of your baby at that ultrasound is just a bonus. I think when you have that done and get the results, you will feel a lot of relief to know everything is fine and your baby girl is healthy!

    Edit because ughh, words
  • This question was literally asked yesterday. But that being said, I highly doubt they were wrong. At 21 weeks the parts are all formed. they are trained professionals, if they got a good look I am sure it's correct. If you're still stressed about it I would suggest going to a boutique place to have the sex scan done. But that will probably just be a waste of money.

    We are visiting family for the weekend and realized it as we drive by one. I'm happy because our only one closed a few months ago.

    I just searched my zip on the 7-11 website and the closest one is about 200 miles away.  I was pretty sure there weren't any in our area, but none within 100 miles?  Yikes.
  • No Krispy Kremes around here :-(
  • Le sigh.  The line was too long at Krispy Kreme today so I got the office Dunkin Donuts.  I'm sorry but the Maple Iced was Amazing.  I just had 1/2 of a powdered one and it was great too. 

    And now I want tacos.  Well, a beef and bean burrito with onions and cheese and sour cream.
