Ultrasound percentiles and gender

[CdinGA]

Thank you ladies for your input. It does help to read your experiences.
I had been feeling down today. It's just so hard for me to believe that a boy would be in the 30th percentile. I'm reading so many pregnancy board posts where the women having boys are measuring so far ahead and have gained a lot of weight. I'm just average at the moment so I'm just like ugh.... Nothing can ever point to boy for me.

Your not out yet Hun. Maybe soon you will be lucky and get the squint of a floater I saw my second sons before she asked if we wanted to know and have an ultrasound of it floating up lol. Never found out the sex of my baby girls until she was born as we wanted a suprises just gutted it wasn't the best suprise :'( one day we will all be blessed with our hearts desires fx sooner rather then later xx

We are team green Bekki - I find out in 5 weeks or less! I have an ultrasound video if I wanted to snoop but I don't. I'm too afraid to know girl for sure. I am just hoping that she will be enough for me because I won't get another chance. I hope you can get your girl too!

Aww I loved been team green but after what happened we decided our rainbow we had to find out and same reason with this one. I am scared
It's going to be another boy but I will have time to adjust and love him like my other 2 but fx my baby girl sent me a princess to make my living family while xx

my daughter was my second largest baby. 3 of my sons were smaller than her

I was a 10 lb baby. my poor mother... LOL I decided to use her ribcage as a foot rest and actually kicked so hard I fractured one! My DH was 5lbs and premature by 3 weeks his tiny mom just couldn't handle him anymore and had to come out c-sect. All my sons ultrasounds they kept telling me he was HUGE and "HOLY COW LOOK AT THE SIZE OF HIM" and "If he gets any bigger you may not be doing this vaginally" I knew better from the beginning that ultrasound weight measurements can be off +/- 2 lbs. I had a healthy 7lb 2oz baby boy at 39 weeks. So don't let measurements get you down!

this happened to me too, told I had an 8 lb 3 oz. baby and then nearly a month later (expecting a monster and under tons of pressure to induce early) I had a 7 lb 13 oz. little man.

^^Me too!! They told me my daughter was over 8.5lbs at 36 weeks and that I was looking at a big girl. And since my second was 8lbs, 4oz at 37+2, I didn't doubt that they were wrong. I figured she was just big like him. Thankfully, I deliver early and no one was pressuring me to induce. But 2 WEEKS later (when she "should have" gained an additional pound from that 36 week measurement) she was delivered at exactly 7.0lbs. And she ate before she got weighed! So, yeah, don't depend too much on those measurements. They can be off by quite a lot.
