Hoping baby #2 is still a girl! *fingers crossed*</p> <p>My mom thought/was told I was a boy, but ta da! I'm a girl!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anatomy-scan-wrong/page/2#post-2318636 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 22:46:40 +0000 jhd 2318636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our anatomy scan and subsequent scans were all correct. I don't know anyone who has had an incorrect scan, but when I was pregnant I had two different students tell me stories of someone they knew who did. These stories may have been true, but I think the kids just liked messing with me. What if your baby turns out to be a girl? or What if there are really two or three in there? :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anatomy-scan-wrong/page/2#post-2318622 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 22:29:57 +0000 californiadreams 2318622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Scan was correct for LO1.

My elective said girl (I saw the three lines clearly multiple times) and the place hasn't been wrong in 10 years, but I guess it happens. I'm ummm already swimming in girl gear from grandma so if this is wrong I'll be crushed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anatomy-scan-wrong#post-2318106 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 15:46:08 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2318106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The sonogram tech from the NT said this happened to her on third baby. She had two girls already and was team green with the third. She fell during her the third trimester and had a sonogram. The tech slipped up and told her she was having a boy. At delivery out popped another girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anatomy-scan-wrong#post-2318103 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 15:45:24 +0000 Truth Bombs 2318103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lioneyes: Interesting. In the case I mentioned above, the woman has already had a boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anatomy-scan-wrong#post-2318100 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 15:42:30 +0000 lioneyes 2318100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i was told the materniT21 test is only accurate 100% for telling the sex of the fetus with the first pregnancy OR for subsequent pregnancies if you've never had a boy... basically, if you've been pregnant with a boy before, there could be a random Y chromosome floating around, causing them to read the results wrong. but who knows if that's ever happened or is just "possible". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anatomy-scan-wrong#post-2318011 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 14:54:28 +0000 LBee 2318011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilyann: Solidarity, sister! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anatomy-scan-wrong#post-2317989 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 14:42:36 +0000 lilyann 2317989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LBee: You remembered! :grin: </p> <p>I had an elective scan at 16 weeks it said girl...went to anatomy scan 3 weeks later, definitely a boy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anatomy-scan-wrong#post-2317966 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 14:27:35 +0000 Mrs. J 2317966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not me, but my sister's friend was told girl all along. She had a boy last month. They had to do some tests to confirm though...he had some condition where it wasn't obvious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anatomy-scan-wrong#post-2317965 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 14:27:27 +0000 BandDmommy 2317965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: wow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anatomy-scan-wrong#post-2317962 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 14:26:16 +0000 MrsSCB 2317962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend's bloodwork was wrong -- said boy but when she had her anatomy scan later it was actually a girl! They said it was because she had twins but lost one early on, and the lost one must have been a boy. We were all shocked after the scan when she told us it was a girl, so I can't imagine how she and her husband felt, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anatomy-scan-wrong#post-2317959 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 14:25:15 +0000 littlejoy 2317959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Happened to a friend of mine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anatomy-scan-wrong#post-2317935 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 14:08:36 +0000 coopsmama 2317935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This happened to a friend of mine. She was told girl at her anatomy scan and at 38 weeks had a scan to check on something with baby. The tech said "your little boy looks like he's head down, ready for labor" and they were like WHAT?!?! </p> <p>He was born a couple weeks later. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anatomy-scan-wrong#post-2317931 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 14:06:55 +0000 Corduroy 2317931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My scans were right but I know a woman that was told girl and found out this summer at 37 weeks she was having a boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anatomy-scan-wrong#post-2317924 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 14:02:19 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 2317924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BandDmommy: My sister in law was told she was having a girl at her 20 week anatomy scan. She had another scan at 24 weeks and found out it was a boy. That's what makes me worry about potentially paying to get an elective ultrasound early to find out the sex... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anatomy-scan-wrong#post-2317840 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 13:16:57 +0000 tiramisu 2317840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a 17 week scan and they were correct in predicting girl. However, my husband's good friend had an ultrasound that predicted girl and when she gave birth, it was a boy! But this was 9 years ago so maybe technology wasn't as good as today. It still made me worried though. I thought this stuff only happened in movies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anatomy-scan-wrong#post-2317834 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 13:14:06 +0000 LBee 2317834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BandDmommy: hahaha I was on my computer or I would have emoticon-ed it up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anatomy-scan-wrong#post-2317833 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 13:13:02 +0000 Mae 2317833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well my mom had only 1 u/s with me at 20 weeks (but this was 30 years ago so obviously technology was not as good as today!!) and she was told I was definitely a boy. Came out a girl. Surpriiiise! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anatomy-scan-wrong#post-2317829 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 13:11:11 +0000 BandDmommy 2317829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LBee: Need more emoticons!! 💁 Raise the roof for first HB shout out!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anatomy-scan-wrong#post-2317827 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 13:10:07 +0000 BandDmommy 2317827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: oh no!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anatomy-scan-wrong#post-2317824 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 13:08:43 +0000 LBee 2317824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Littlebit: Yup. It was technically a 17 week elective scan, so I don't know if I qualify for this question since my official anatomy scan said boy at 20 weeks. @Lilyann had it happen too. LO is definitely a boy - they think my bladder was overfull and potentially the cord was blocking his boy parts. Who knows. </p> <p>As an aside, this is my first ever HelloBee shout out. I might have been a little too thrilled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anatomy-scan-wrong#post-2317816 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 13:06:05 +0000 Ash 2317816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Reese: it was crazy. She already had a couple boys so she got all new girl things and got rid of her boy stuff.

I was told boy, so I was really confused as to how that was even possible (due to my not having any Y chromosomes). I asked my friend's wife, because she's a genetic counselor. She gave me a scientific explanation that I don't really remember. It had to do with fetal DNA and where it comes from and where the sample was from. So it is technically possible, but she said if it did happen, it's so rare (and possibly mostly theoretical now?) you'd be a case in a textbook. </p>
