She then went to the same ultrasound school as i did as a voulenteer and the tech there told her that the baby is in fact a boy. She was saying how she felt like a "tool" after the reveal and everything and now has to return everything she bought because it is all pink. She ended up going back to paradise ultrasound to have the gender confirmed and paid $170 for it and yes all of a sudden it turned into a boy!

This is the exact sort of thing I've been googling like mad.....I think as far as mistakes go, it's more common to get 'girl' wrong, (ie, told girl when it's a boy) if your told boy, after 15 weeks then its pretty much 100% if the equipment is clear. Sometimes if the tech is new, the equipment old, or if the baby has his legs shut it is possible to miss it. Whereas if its a boy and the scrotum is there, then it's there.

Like with the shots that you and I have Cinns, you can clearly see a defined scrotum and penis, as opposed to just a 'bulge' which could be a swollen labia.
You can see the circular roundness of the scrotum, if it was swollen labia I think it would be straighter lines, not circular, a labia would also be more attached between the legs, whereas in our shots you can see small space between the leg and the scrotum...

Rest assured chick, I'm certain your boy is 1000% accurate.

I will try and find that baby centre thread with the photos of girls diagnosed as boys.

Sorry it was baby and bump, not baby centre

Here is the thread http://babyandbump.momtastic.com/pre...5-5-weeks.html

I think you have to be a member to see the photos, so here are the photos that were labeled boy, but baby ended up being a girl

Here is another http://babyandbump.momtastic.com/pre...pdate-pg7.html

And another, this one is 39 pages long and I never bothered reading it all, but all the mistaken ultrasounds on there were pretty unclear and ambiguous I think

Wow, Lassie! Thanks for the research! I agree with you, that the incorrect gender predictions were kinda unclear from my standpoint too. And going to in-gender reminds me how frustrating that site is...it takes at least 3 minutes for every page to download. Ha! :)

Omg that's the exact kind of story that makes me freak out lol ......poor woman tho :(
I've had 2 scans now both saying girl but part of me totally doubts it specially as ppl still say to me they always get girls wrong! Wish I could afford another scan, my husband would go mad if he knew I was worrying tho! Don't think I will beleive it until she's here though x

actually my u/s tech things girls are more mistaken for boys a lot of the time, especially earlier , like 15 weeks. because of the possible swollen girl parts still. she said shes seen a lot of mistakes made that way

cinss -
did she get her money back??
what was the explanation from the tech?

Wow some of those pics really do look like boys! Just shows it is possible especially if the gender was determined before 18 weeks.

I think the chances of it happening to one of us is very unlikely though, particularly those who have had multiple scans and 3d scans etc. But fingers crossed if it does happen it happens to one of us that really wants the opposite gender.

It is funny as a lot of the gender opposite posts I have been reading have said that they just knew it wasn't the gender they had been told at the u/s and that something just didn't sit right for them. Most don't show their u/s pics so it is hard to know how clear they were. That is the way I feel this time though, even though I am starting to get my head around it being another boy I still feel that it is weird as my gut was telling me girl. I'm sure that is mainly down to my desire for a girl rather than any maternal instinct. With ds2 I thought he was a girl until my scan but that was more because the pregnancy had been so different from my first and I had been so sick. I accepted it a lot quicker that he was a boy after the scan but maybe that was because we had always said we would have three regardless of gender.

We went to see a friend today and I got the typical 'was the baby planned then' ... erm yes thanks all of our children were planned! Followed by 'bet you are disappointed it isn't a girl, does this mean you'll be trying again?'. I think they could tell by the look I gave them that I am so sick of the comments already so they quickly followed it up with 'three boys will be nice though, you'll appreciate having all boys compared to all girls when they get older'. Hmmmm... I wouldn't know having never had a daughter but I guess at least they were trying to make me feel better even if they were digging themselves a deeper and deeper hole!!!!

Has anyone seen a sideways profile u/s that looks like a boy but turns out to be a girl? I've only ever found potty shot ones, a tech on another site told me sideways ones are more accurate for boys so I think mine is pretty definitely a boy! x
