Congratulation, glad everything went well. 70% chance of girl!!! So it's still 30% of being a boy!!!??? I thought they didn't tell you unless they were sure. I wouldn't rush out and buy anything pink just yet if it were me. What does your instinct tell you?

[frangelle]

i suppose with a boy its easy to tell because there is something physical there but it must be harder to tell if something isnt there. If that makes sense...!!!!

Congrats anyway hun!!!

 

[fothers]

I thought they wouldn't tell you if they weren't sure

Do you get another scan?

 

[Nicola]

I didn't think they would tell you unless they were almost 100% sure they could tell what it was, 70% is a pretty good bet but still that's a whopping 30% uncertinty. Can you ask for a second scan or did you get a second opinion at the time? You could always have a private gender scan if you are not convinced and in honesty unless they had show my my little boy's bits in all their glory I'd have doubted their diagnosis also....did they actually show you the bits or just tell you what they thought? I'd book in for a 2nd scan if I were you or wait a week or two and treat yourself to a 3D scan etc!!

Glad scan went well. When we had ours the sonographer said 'I'm almost sure its a girl'. Maybe they're not allowed to actually say they are positive about it? We had a private scan though and sonographer actually showed us LO's bits so there was no doubt

 

You'd think that, Frangelle, yes, but they're not supposed to assume it's a girl in the absence of a penis/scrotum! The only way they can say for definite (well, with the most accuracy they can from a scan) it's a girl is by seeing the "3 line sign" of the labia. Did they say they could see the 3 lines, Maria? Or could they just not catch sight of a penis?

Aw Maria, I don't think I'd feel any wiser at all if I were you! In fact, even after a private gender scan myself, I don't feel confident because although the person said they could see my baby's gender, I couldn't see it when they tried to point it out to me. Even three blown up photos showed nothing. It's not as though I can't make out what I'm seeing on the screen either, because I've seen fingers and toes even, but no genitals (labia or penis), so I don't 100% believe it Though that might be because I moaned that the gender scan took away the element of surprise.

Wouldn't it be funny, Frangelle, it it turned out you were right all along and you have a little girl in there?

 

[maria1976]

Thanks so much for all your replies, well the sonographer just said it looks like ladies bumps!!! and thats all she said, i know I should have asked more but i completely forgot LOL.

I said really and she said yes but because the babies legs were in a difficult position she would only say about 70%

She did try and look twice, so im gonna go with girl i think, but only time will tell the little buggar

I really dont want to spend more money on a gender scan as things are a wee bit tight at the mo, so we will wait and see.

Maria xx

congratulations! i was right
at my scan she said 80-90% girl, because baby was in such a good position I guess
