Wow, this stuff scares me cause in one of my US photos the baby look like she had a peewee , and in the others she didn't. I hope it's not a boy I'm 40wks +3dys you couldn't imagine all the girly things I bought lol.

My first pregnancy my Dr told me my whole pregnancy it was a girl so u could imagine my surprise when I didn't know it was a boy until I delivered him :)

With my first the doctor told me girl and I went somewhere else to double check and it was a boy!!! I knew he was a boy and could sense it so I had to double check (for my own peace of mind) at a 3D place

Early ultrasounds before 18 weeks are hard to tell. If you get an ultrasound past 18 weeks its rare for them to be wrong. I asked my OB nurse that has been there forever she said its extremely rare

It happened to me with my first.  They told me I was having a girl and I ended up having a boy.  I was highly upset.  I even had an ultrasound 2 days before I had him and they still ensured me I was having a girl.

I think mine was wrong because my baby was being very stubborn that day and wouldn't be still. The US tech was getting fustrated and said it was a girl, but my doctor and EVERYBODY else was like I was willing to bet that you were having a boy. So we will see when the time comes

It happens, I saw my baby boys parts at 20 weeks and at my last ultrasound I had them check again to make sure! Lol I can't understand how the ultrasound techs can see anything anyways!

Lol can be pretty darn close to 100%. My little girls legs were wide open and showing her lady bits at 21 weeks haha. OB said definitely no mistaking that one.

They can't ever say 100% because it never is 100% only real way of knowing is birth or dna, my sono said she is pretty sure n that's enough f me lol

I was 22 weeks and like 3 days or so that they told me that I was having a girl because they didn't see anything dangling. I really hope it isn't a boy but the nurse doing the ultrasound said that she wouldn't have told us if she wasn't at least 90% sure. My hubby is bragging,  about having a daddy's girl

Happens a lot. Girls are harder to know for sure cause they don't have a dangly bit haha. That's why people usually should wait til later in their pregnancy to find out. Don't wanna buy a bunch of girl things than find out it's a boy!!
