  • Wow, how can they NOT know what your baby is by that time?! The baby doesn't have too much room to hide the goodies anymore by then. I found out at like 19 weeks or so with twins. Glad you switched :)
  • That seems to be going around a lot lately. One mom (pretty sure here) had 3 scans all saying one thing (last was at 34w) and out popped the other! My sil told me last week a friend of her was told girl then boy. I'm not sure how they cant definitely tell when you're past say 20 weeks..for girls anyway there are 3 lines!
  • When I worked for a baby store we had a mother who shopped with us her whole pregnancy and she was told it was a girl. She was older and had so much trouble getting pregnant that she figured this would be her only child. She went all out on the princess girl theme, walls were painted pink, EVERYTHING was pink and out popped a boy.
  • I'm the mum that had the 3 scans they all told me its a girl the last one even said def no boy parts and I had a little boy on tues.
  • That's exactly why im not finding out!! I don't want to get all prepared and have it not be what I was expecting!
  • I don't know what I'd do if I deliver and the doctor hands me a boy. I would think they were handing me someone else's baby since I've been calling her a she this whole time.
  • Ugh I keep having nightmares that my little lillth pops out a little kenneth -_- or even worse that 2 of em pop out. Like the other is hiding somewhere. Terrifying. We are doing the room in somewhat neutral decor just in case...plus we can reuse with later children. I joke we are either having a girl or a gay as much pink clothing as everyones bought us lol.
  • Oh gosh...I don't even want to think about this...I've been told my whole pregnancy that it's a girl so almost ALL my stuff is girl stuff! But I'm being induced in a few hours so I'll know for sure within the next 24 hours hopefully
  • I was told girl but after 2 boys I only bought minimal girls stuff but hey she is a girl lol if I where u though id prepare.for both or neither clothes n blankets get expensive or neutral
  • @tammy Did they see the three lines when they thought he was a girl?
  • @baby4injury yes they saw what looked like 3 lines they all said to me def a girl the one at 34 weeks was no boy parts there at all.
  • Wow that is just crazy! But hey gives me hope that I may still have a little boy in there! I have also had 3 ultrasounds to confirm girl... so probably not likely. But still this is our last baby and I wanted a boy! Can't believe with technology today that they still make mistakes!
  • This is b.s we paid for a early ultrasound an it looked like Boy his legs were wide open, the place I went to has a money back guarantee policy but I'm only 15 week they said if was easy cause I'm pretty skinny I hope their right about me we already named him
  • I don't know what I would do if I got a boy when I've been told it's a girl! My husband would sure be happy, but we'd have to get all new boy clothes and such. I did decide to stick with gender neutral baby gear though.

    Goodness, maybe you shouldn't be so sure that the doctors are right this time! I would be leery if you were told girl all along and suddenly they say boy.
  • Well you've got to remember that the only 100% way to know for sure the gender is a test like the amniocentesis or CVS. Otherwise its just a best guess. I'm 23w2d. Went to a level 2 ultrasound twice. First time at 19w4d tech saw & measured nothing including gender due to baby's position. 2nd time at 22w3d she measured baby perfectly but gender still was a guess. Maybe girl she said. You never really know til babys born.
  • I was told girl with two ultrasound, than I got a 3d one and still was a girl...if for some reason a boy pops out ill be sad. I have two sons and a stepson, I need estrogen around me! Lol
  • Lol. Wow, i can't believe this happens so often!! Idk how my old Dr thought it was a boy.... my sono had two lines instead of three... Thankfully we hadn't bought anything yet, we just got all boy stuff from friends & family... now I'm going to be 36 weeks on Wednesday & my baby shower is on Sunday! I'm so excited because if i had a baby shower for a boy, i would be soo sad because i think that's one of the most important events before the baby actually gets here.. & my finance really wanted a son so i wouldn't be able to see him hurt because we have all boy stuff with no lil boy... :( So I'm really glad that we waited to have my baby shower! :)
  • So its official... I'm having a baby girl who I'm going to name Aaliyah Chanel & i couldn't be happier! & yeah,y my fiance was really hurt at first, he's also really excited! :)
