DH and I both had the thought recently that our baby popped out the opposite gender.
I wonder how often anatomy scans are wrong?
Not counting repeat u/s post anatomy scan were you or anyone you know surprised at birth with the opposite gender?
-
I had a friend who had four girls. Promised last one was a boy. Everyone who saw the ultrasound said boy. Well, SHE is in college now.
-
Only wrong ones I know of are when the guesses are early!
-
Mine was right! I know of one wrong one but it was done in Mexico so I am not sure what the credibility of the scan was.
-
I know two people who were told girl, and had a boy. I think that mistake is more common than the other way around.
Eta: not positive, but fairly certain they were both told the sex at the anatomy scan, not earlier.
-
I worked with someone who was told boy and out popped a girl.
-
I also know 2 people who were told girl at the anatomy scan and had boys.
-
I know one person who was told wrong. Expecting a girl and had a boy.
-
I had an elective scan with DS #1 at 16 weeks and was told girl but found out he was a boy at our anatomy scan a few weeks later.
-
Ours was correct but my husband has a friend in Florida who's baby boy was a baby girl! They even had a 3-D ultrasound.
You can always get the bloodtest to be sure. I'm not sure if they offer it this late though.
-
I know someone who just a few months ago had a boy that was supposed to be a girl. I don't know the details of what all ultrasounds or anything they had.
-
Mine was right. I do know one person who was told she was having a girl her whole pregnancy, but had a boy.
-
Mine was right but my cousin's was wrong--it said girl but out came a boy.
-
Both of mine were right, each time the techs said something along the lines of "it's very clearly a boy/girl". I was really paranoid about DD though since they didn't give us photographic evidence of her girlyness like we received for DS.
-
Don't scare me lol! Just found out gender at my OB appt yesterday, at least I have my actual anatomy scan next week so they can check again! The tech was 100% sure tho and I saw it pretty clearly too.
-
My husband's cousin's wife was told she was having a girl at 15 weeks, but she got in a car accident at 19 weeks and found out her girl was actually a boy.
We were told at 20 weeks that she was a girl, and since I had to have follow-up ultrasounds at MFM, I had them check each time to make sure she was still a she.
-
It was right for me, but when my mom was pregnany with me, they thought I was a boy. Surprise!
-
I know a couple of people who were told the wrong gender, but in all cases they were told girl and had a boy. I think that mistake is *much* more common.
The earlier the u/s, the higher the likelihood that they will be wrong.
-
I know a Mason who was supposed to be a Maya!
-
Mine was right, but I also know someone who expected a girl and ended up with a boy! I think it's more common that way round as a boy can 'hide' their extra bits!
-
I don't know anyone personally, but when in had my anatomy scan, the woman who went before me was 30 weeks and just found out her girl was actually a boy. I guess her anatomy scan was done at a different office and she ended up needing another scan for some reason, which is why she was there.
-
I've always kept the sex of my babies a surprise, but this is partly the reason why! I'm convinced I'd be that random case where they got it wrong...even though I've never met anyone whom that's happened to! Lol.
