has a dr told you were having a girl or boy and ended up he was wrong?

My doctor told me I was having another boy and showed me what he says is the scrotum and penis but I already have 2 boys and something about this pregnancy just feels different or maybe I'm just hoping a girl lol but can doctors see something that looks like a penis and be wrong?

The doctor told my mother tbat my sister was a boy three time and when she was born it was a girl.Next time you have an ultrasound ask get a view from the bottom and if there are three lines it is a girl.At my 20 week ultrasound that's what i was told

they are very rarely wrong about boys. girls are the ones that they may make mistakes on. if they see a little willie they are usually correct. boys are wonderful!

If he SHOWED you a scrotum and a penis then 9 times out of 10 he is correct. I don't believe they can point out a particular body part and be incorrect. The only time I have heard that they have been wrong is when the sonographer gives the gender away too early like 16-19 weeks. However 20 weeks and above you can pretty much guarantee they know. Congrats on your boys! I have all girls!
