We shall see with this baby if it is a boy or girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wrong-gender-from-an-ultrasound#post-1337967 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 15:00:25 +0000 AmandaB8 1337967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This happened to a friend of ours - was supposed to have a girl, and had a boy instead! Terrified of this happening!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wrong-gender-from-an-ultrasound#post-1337858 Sat, 11 Jan 2014 13:30:51 +0000 Mrs. Pinata 1337858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@purrpletulips: Ha! That's a pretty funny story! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wrong-gender-from-an-ultrasound#post-1335434 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 12:00:14 +0000 artsyfartsy 1335434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH just had a friend who this happened to! They paid to have an early gender reveal and they said boy. Then at the anatomy scan a month later they said definitely a girl!</p> <p>She's still pregnant so you never know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wrong-gender-from-an-ultrasound#post-1335423 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 11:58:33 +0000 leelee 1335423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kjpugs: agreed. I would love to see those ultrasounds!</p> <p>We were told girl with DD at 13w and told girl again this time around with #2 at 13w but I am still hesitant to tell anyone and buy anything until our 20 weeks scan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wrong-gender-from-an-ultrasound#post-1335262 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 11:11:09 +0000 kjpugs 1335262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've heard of it a few times both ways, but more from people I'm not super close with, on FB. One was a friend who found out early they were having a boy and then at the traditional gender ultrasound was told girl (baby was a girl.) Two college friends (not married to each other- separate) recently posted they were having girls and then posted that they found out it was a boy a monht or two later.</p> <p>What I'm more interested in seeing is the ultrasounds!! I want to see a "It's a Girl!" ultrasound that ended up NOT being a girl. I wonder if it's obvious in hindsight or really does look like a girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wrong-gender-from-an-ultrasound#post-1335224 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 11:03:10 +0000 Alivoo01 1335224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents were told I'd be a boy. Surprise!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wrong-gender-from-an-ultrasound#post-1335092 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 10:32:57 +0000 Bea 1335092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a friend that had an 8 year old girl and was so excited to be having a boy (wanted one of each, then calling it quits) paid for the 4D ultrasound that wasn't covered by insurance and again, was told it's a boy...came out a beautiful baby girl. But I had always heard that if it happened the other way around more likely. I'm sure it's rare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wrong-gender-from-an-ultrasound#post-1335031 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 10:17:58 +0000 avivoca 1335031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamawarrior: @Torchwood: I want to be team green for our next pregnancy!</p> <p>We found out we were having a girl at 19 weeks, but I had a few extra ultrasounds to check out her brain so I asked them to check to make sure she was still a girl at both of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wrong-gender-from-an-ultrasound#post-1334947 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 10:00:41 +0000 LuLu Mom 1334947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH's cousin had 2 U/S both saying girl, and along came baby Jacob instead of Madison :) He's 3 now, so it was in recent times! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wrong-gender-from-an-ultrasound#post-1334938 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 09:58:28 +0000 purrpletulips 1334938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My cousin's son was supposed to be a girl. My mom said she had never seen a baby shower with so much pink as that one. To make it ever better, he was born on April Fool's Day </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wrong-gender-from-an-ultrasound#post-1334915 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 09:54:03 +0000 Happygal 1334915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister was told her first child was a girl, but he is actually a boy! It was so strange to go about thinking I had a niece, and when I saw her pregnant, I remember talking to her belly and referring to the baby as a girl. Big mental shift when they found out it was actually a boy in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wrong-gender-from-an-ultrasound#post-1334866 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 09:39:51 +0000 lilyann 1334866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 16 weeks we were told girl, but at our 19 week anatomy scan it was definitely a boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wrong-gender-from-an-ultrasound#post-1334857 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 09:37:15 +0000 septca 1334857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a couple of friends who were told the wrong thing at 20 weeks - but in every case I have heard of this happening, it was always said to be a girl and turned out to be a boy. I have never heard of an u/s tech saying boy and having it be wrong. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wrong-gender-from-an-ultrasound#post-1334775 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 09:15:17 +0000 blackbird 1334775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only person I know it happened to had an elective ultrasound at week 13 to determine gender. Big surprise when it wasn't what she thought it was going to be, when they re-did the scan at 20 weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wrong-gender-from-an-ultrasound#post-1334330 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 00:27:59 +0000 mamawarrior 1334330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: I understand what you're saying. I'm totally excited about our little boy as well. </p> <p>@Torchwood: I hope to one day be on team green for maybe my next pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wrong-gender-from-an-ultrasound#post-1334152 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 23:01:56 +0000 Torchwood 1334152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend in middle school was supposed to be a boy. They think she had her hand down there. But that was definitely some much older technology.</p> <p>This is actually part of why we're team green! I'm just freaked out at the thought of them being wrong! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wrong-gender-from-an-ultrasound#post-1334101 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 22:39:41 +0000 JessKas 1334101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend found out at her 38 week ultrasound she was having a boy instead of a girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wrong-gender-from-an-ultrasound#post-1334084 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 22:35:35 +0000 Mae 1334084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamawarrior: gah so scary. I truly did not care either way before, but I've now had almost 6 weeks to get used to the idea of a girl and I think I'd feel some loss if I wasn't having the daughter I've been thinking about and talking to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wrong-gender-from-an-ultrasound#post-1334074 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 22:33:05 +0000 mamawarrior 1334074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: Yes ask them to double-check for sure but I guess you can never too sure until you meet them :grin: </p> <p>@singingbee: It is possible!!! Ahhhh!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wrong-gender-from-an-ultrasound#post-1334063 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 22:30:14 +0000 mamawarrior 1334063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: Lol! Maybe that's what is happening to me too! Oh man but if the baby is a girl, hubby will freak out coz he said he wouldn't know what to do with a baby girl. He grew up with all brothers. </p> <p>@MrsF: I haven't worried about it till now when I'm about to meet him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wrong-gender-from-an-ultrasound#post-1334050 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 22:28:04 +0000 singingbee 1334050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had friends that thought they were having a boy......out popped the 5th girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wrong-gender-from-an-ultrasound#post-1334046 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 22:27:05 +0000 Mae 1334046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>omg so scared of this lol. We found out we were having a girl at 18 weeks 1 day and the tech was confident. But it was so early and with it being a girl… I just have this fear that we're wrong! Not that I wouldn't be psyched for a boy, but we're definitely planning everything (nursery, name, clothes) for girl so it would be a BIG surprise. Luckily (sorta? Lol) I have to have another u/s next week at 24 weeks so I'm going to ask the tech to double-check. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wrong-gender-from-an-ultrasound#post-1334044 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 22:26:40 +0000 MrsF 1334044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was supposed to be a boy...by 1982 technology :wink: </p> <p>I did worry my whole pregnancy that they were wrong about M's gender. I waited for several ultrasounds before I would tell people that we were having a girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wrong-gender-from-an-ultrasound#post-1334043 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 22:26:36 +0000 rachiecakes 1334043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamawarrior: omg I had this dream before DS was born and woke up crying because I already was in love with my little boy. Oh hormones.. haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wrong-gender-from-an-ultrasound#post-1334026 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 22:23:28 +0000 mamawarrior 1334026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: That makes sense. We did see the specific limb so it's less likely this boy will come out a girl. Haha! </p> <p>@Mrs. Pinata: That's so crazy and awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wrong-gender-from-an-ultrasound#post-1333977 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 22:09:16 +0000 Mrs. Pinata 1333977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our son was said to be a girl at a 35 week ultrasound! So, everyone was surprised when it was a boy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wrong-gender-from-an-ultrasound#post-1333876 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 21:47:41 +0000 mrsjyw 1333876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've heard the other way...where a girl u/s turns out to be a boy who hid well :P... not from boy u/s turning out to be a girl tho! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wrong-gender-from-an-ultrasound#post-1333868 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 21:46:44 +0000 mamawarrior 1333868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just curious has anyone had an ultrasound saying it was a certain gender and got the opposite when you had the baby. We are having a baby boy any day now but I keep having dreams that the baby comes out as a girl! </p>
