Obsessing over u/s

[mummypink]

Is anyone else obsessing over their ultrasound pics in the hope they have got it wrong?!

Mine was done at 19 weeks and is so clearly a boy but I just cannot shake of that 'what if' feeling that they have got it wrong. I thought that after the scan I could just deal with the gender and concentrate on enjoying my pregnancy but I am still obsessing.

I get another scan at 32 weeks so I know I will have it confirmed then and my dh will not agree to a private scan as he doesn't see the need.

Has anyone been on here and been told they got the gender wrong at a later scan?

So wish I could just shake off this GD now!! xxx

I'm sorry to say this, but I think you're going to have to accept that the u/s was most likely right. I know it's tempting to hope the u/s was wrong, but the likelihood is pretty small. Hugs to you mama!

Thanks Claire, I know you're right. xx

of course anything can happen and I know how you feel because when I found ds2 was a boy at 20 weeks I kept praying the tech made a mistake, I researched it, posted about it on other forums etc...but in the end he was/is very much a boy.

I've been obsessing over my nub shot. I even looked through all 80+ pages of confirmed girl nubs on IG. I was feeling good but then I started looking through the boy ones and getting discouraged again.

I remember doing the same as you with confirmed US pics with my other kids. It can be so hard to accept. I'm sorry you're feeling down right now.

Thanks lovely ladies, yep I felt it the same with ds2 but not as bad as this. The pregnancy has seemed so different I think I had really convinced myself it was a girl without realising it.

It doesn't help that the hospital I had my scan at has been known to be wrong before on several occasions, but the tech was great and very certain and I was convinced at the time as well. It is only afterwards I've been obsessing and thinking surely it can't be another boy!

Really hope you get your girl this time Sugaree. x

I still think about mine and it was at 24 weeks and so clearly a penis lol!! It's hard to accept! I think it's that feeling like 'really? Not 1 out if 3 could be the opposite!??!' especially when it seems to come so easy for so many others!!

oh hunny i remember going there with ds3, they can be wrong, more likely if they tell you girl (which seems crueler to dangle the carrot and then ruin the dream). I have only heard of it being wrong with a boy once (and there is a pic up in our hospital of the newspaper clipping) and they'd seen the cord, baby was really a girl but at the time they hold the mom baby was in an awkard position and the guess wasn't 100%, but it does happen.

Only thing i can promise you is that you will separate your feelings of wanting a daughter from disappointment at hearing blue, took me a couple of months but i was so excited to meet Toby before he came and settled down about 7.5 months and was at peace with him being a boy. The desire for girl unfortunately didn't go though, it faded til he turned one then came back with a vengeance, hence me being here now. My little Toby was mean't for our family, he filled a hole i never knew existed and brought my boys and our family closer together. He and i have such a close relationship and he covers me in kisses every morning (real slobbery toddler ones which melt my heart) and he is forever loving his brothers. What i went through with him made me stronger and a better mother and made me appreciate my boys so much more, three sons are truely special
