has a doctor told you your having a girl or a boy and it wasnt?

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?

How far along are you? Im almost 6 weeks and at 10 weeks i am going to do that home test u pee in and it tells u if it tests male or female genes or whatever. Ive have several friends and family use it and it has always been correct. U can buy it at like CVS or Walgreens.

Yes i had a dr tell me i was having a girl, when baby was born it was BOY, they said a boy can easily be mistaken for a girl cuz sometimes the umbilical cord which has 3 valves and sometime looks like girl parts but its not common that a dr is wrong.

It is highly unlikely that the dr is wrong. Not all preg are the same so you cant base it on the preg feeling dif. And the dr cant really see something that isnt there. There is way more of a chance a dr being wrong about saying its a girl.
