Possible gender revelation by ultrasound tech

Ok so we had our detailed anatomy scan today at 20+2 weeks. We told the tech at the beginning of the scan that we didn't want to know gender. Well all through the scan she was calling the baby "baby" and checking all the usual things. Towards the end she turned off our monitor so she could check the gender without us seeing. And after she was done she turned our monitor back on and was trying to get some nice 3D photos of our baby's face. While she was doing this she referred to the baby as him/he. My husband and I didn't address this but we are both wondering if maybe we are having a boy and the tech slipped up. If she just generically calls all babies him/he then why didn't she do it before she checked the gender??? What are your thoughts? Anyone been through this before? With our first child we purposely found out the gender at the 20 week scan so the tech referring to the baby as a gender when you don't want to know is foreign to me. What do you think the chances are that she slipped up since she knew the gender at that point?

Thanks mommas! I'm not really disappointed but it definitely adds another layer of mystery haha! We have a girl already and my hubby is hoping for a boy (I'm hoping for a girl). we will be thrilled either way. But I saw the look on my hubby's face when she said "him" (absolutely thrilled) and I think it would be incredibly cruel to "throw us off track" by referring to the opposite gender especially since the tech knew we have a girl already.   I think 17 weeks the gender would be pretty accurate at that point. It's exciting to me to be going in to the birth this time around with some more mystery than I had with my daughter. We had a great birth but it's really neat not to know 100% this time. :)

I would of asked so you wernt guessing :\ I know its a bummer to find out when your not wanting to. I had an ultrasound at 17 weeks and specifically told told the office ladies and nurse not to tell me gender if it was noticeable, they never passes that info on to the tech!!! The only reason why I didn't want to know is because my husband wasn't at the appointment with me. The anticipation is killing me for my anatomy scan in one week. I'm wondering how accurate it is at 17 weeks and if in fact I'm having what she told me??    Maybe your tech did it on purpose so you would wonder later like your doing. I'd be aggervated though if I was you

Or maybe shes tryna throw you off by "accidently" saying he. Could be a girl you never know. Either way congrats on your prescious angel♥
