I asked this question when I was in labor with my daughter to a nurse who'd been at the hospital for 40 years. She told me that she has never seen that happen. Ever. It is beyond rare. A technician won't tell you what gender your baby is unless they are completely positive.

I just had an ultrasound yesterday at 15w and they guessed it is a girl. She sounded very sure of herself but still recommended not having a gender reveal party yet :)

Reason why boys are mistaken as girls is because if they are late bloomers they can look like girls at first. It is most common for them to think you are having a girl and it's a boy but pretty uncommon to have them think it is a boy and actually be a girl unless it is a very very early gender guess.

Most techs will mistake boys for girls but it is very rare for a girl to be mistaken for a boy. Because it is kinda obvious when it's a boy unless the girl has large genitals that can be mistaken for a boy.
