Due Sept/Oct/Nov 2017 (4)

Hey ladies could use a little advice... I had my 16 week scan today and held strong on remaining team green. I was pretty tempted to find out after my nub shot appeared somewhat girly but definitely chickened out. The tech whizzed by the potty shots pretty quickly so I only caught glimpses and never saw anything between the legs. I know this doesn't really mean anything, especially to my untrained eye, but I couldn't help but feel excited and even somewhat convinced I may have seen labia. However towards the end of my appointment, I noticed the doc had a piece of scratch paper and I could see boy (41%) written down. Now I don't know what to think and I can't for the life of me understand why they would write that down knowing I might accidentally see it and why the heck only 41%??? I didn't see any hints of boy yet she somehow is 41% convinced it's a boy? I can't help but feel disappointed now and this is the one thing I didn't want to feel this pregnancy.

oxox - HUGS!!! THat seems really weird to have that percentage. It could have said something else like body and you just saw boy??? IDK, just a thought. 41% is a weird number. I would just write it off as some thing noted, but not gender. Praying for peace for you!

I know it's just such a random number! [emoji26]

Too random for me to think it has anything to do with gender. It might have been an acronym for the measurements they got. That would make more sense to me.

If your going to worry like crazy over the next few months maybe you should find out so at least you can enjoy the rest of your pregnancy..im with the girls though i doubt the 41 perc was anything to do with gender and that boy may have been an abbreviation for something else.. awww birthfree amazing photos im having a 17 week 3d scan tomorrow i couldnt resist i need to see its a girl with my own eyes before it sinks into my brain that there will be a mini me in a few months..eeeekkkkkkkk

Birthfree, it sounds much more likely that 41 referred to a measurement (maybe the length percentile?) I don't see how anyone could pinpoint their certainty on gender to exactly forty-ONE percent. It's too specific and random.
