HELP!...what would you make of this conversation?..boy or girl?

[sophiiaa]

What would you make from our conversation...baby boy or girl..??

Me: so can u tell the gender of baby
Sonographer: Erm...well I can have a look... Well I (emphasis on I) think it's a girl But when it's born it might be a boy
Husband: how sure are you 50/50
Sonographer: I don't know the statistic,it was 50/50 when you walked through the door
Husband: so can we start buying pink stuff
Sonographer: Erm...well that's up to you but when it's born it might be a boy because the scrotum hasn't decended yet.



What would you make of this conversation..? I have read so many stories online about getting told one sex and ending up with another. Everyone who I know who has had an ultrasound got a percentage of accuracy when finding the sex and I got a 'I don't know the statistics'. Do you think the scrotum hadn't descended yet making her think girl because she did mention the scrotum which was odd if it was a definite girl

This was at my 20 week scan and my baby was facing down, I'm not sure if that makes it difficult to determine the sex

I think I would get a second opinion, personally :)

[nuthinbutpink]

Go get another scan.

[bunnywabbit]

Agreed - another scan. If they weren't sure of the gender, they should say so and leave it at that rather than hinting 'but maybe not'. How annoying!

[jmomof3girls]

How frustrating!

@txmomof3beautifulboys @nuthinbutpink @Bunnywabbit @janamomof3girls i only have this one picture where I have outlined the body in red and arm in pink. So you can clearly see something sticking up...any guesses from that picture?

Oops I have no idea why the picture got posted3 times :s

[sophiiaa]

Any guesses?

[sweetdream]

No clues on this picture. And I think its
A girl on conversation but wouldn't buy pink on it.

[jmomof3girls]

No clue from that pic. Go and get another scan if you can.

[sophiiaa]

Thanks ladies....any more guesses? X

[nuthinbutpink]

THERE IS NO GENDER IN YOUR PICS. YOU CANNOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE HAVING FROM THAT BIZARRE CONVERSATION. NOBODY CAN GUESS BASED ON THAT PICTURE. IT'S NO BETTER THAN A COIN TOSS. GO GET ANOTHER SCAN IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW! YES I AM SHOUTING!

[kaseybaby]

Am I crazy or have I read this post before, like a few weeks ago? I am having serious deja vu. Anyway, I agree with everyone else, you can't tell from the conversation, or from the pic. If you want to know you need another scan.

[WantingPink]

I find it very annoying when I hear ultrasonographers that say such things. They shouldn't have told you anything and other than "I don't know". An ultrasonographer that doesn't know how to read gender is worse than a friend guessing based on how you are carrying. If you really want to know the gender go and get a gender scan at a place that will guarantee it.

[Nahri]

at 20 weeks you can tell gender and should be able to buy pink/blue. If they can't see it for whatever reason they need to just say so. Go get a new scan unless you are happy remaining on team green

[atomic sagebrush]

I would suspect girl but the tech sounds like a nitwit and I would def. get a scan.

Sometimes it is the policy of the place not to do gender scans - the techs can get into trouble for it and so I think sometimes they try to skirt the rules a bit. My sonographer at my 13-6 ultrasound did def. drop some hints because she wasn't allowed to spill the beans. :)

Yes, definitely .......

[Aimee13]

I've never seen a ultrasound like that. I'd say I have pains or make something up to get another ultrasound lol!
