me too! I would be in total shock! My first thought when I read the article was where are her ultrasounds I WANT TO SEE! lol My next thought was oh good next my mother will be calling and telling me I can't be sure of my upcoming DD like she has said both times gender was confirmed at 2 different facilities.

I thought the mom was a little disappointed seeming (the baby's mom, not the grandma). I know there are quite a few gals on here who really want 2 girls and even if she didn't originally, I bet she'd gotten used to the idea by then. I really hate it when people have these misleading ultrasound results.

This is actually terrifying for me! lol. I know I'm the opposite situation but I made the mistake of reading the comments on Facebook where this article is posted and every other comment is about how the same thing happened to them...was told girl turned into a boy, and many that said they were told boy and it's a girl. ugh, so disheartening. And now I'm even more worried about my anatomy scan next week.

It happens rarely, but not rarely enough! I know of several people who it has happened to (almost always girl turning out to be boy)

Ugee, usually when it does, the original ultrasound is a bit dodgy - done too early or too late or the tech is really just a nitwit - we ALL saw your pics and all thought it was a girl!

I agree the mom sounded a bit disappointed. Personally I would love (and prefer) to have 2 girls over 1 girl, 1 boy. For DC3 I probably won't care or may sway boy, if I end up having more than 2. But there are definitely plenty of women who see 2 girls as a dream family. And some men, too. I know I've seen other ladies with my preference post on here from time to time, usually in the ultrasound forum.
This is why I plan on only 1 ultrasound per pregnancy (unless there's a complication) and a blood test ASAP and well before the US. Bloodwork is soooo much more reliable.
My Ovulation Chart currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP
TTC #1
- swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!
Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after removìng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic
Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period
Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
Back again: blue sway planning
