What if my baby girl is a boy?!

[Lulu_Laroo]

For some reason this week I've had this feeling that our baby girl might come out a boy! I don't know why im having doubts, maybe cos we've bought so much pink stuff recently and I've suddenly thought oh poo, what if she comes out a boy? I'd still be just as happy if she was a boy, but we've picked out her name, call her by her name, refer to her as 'her' or 'she' and like I said, bought so much pink/lilac/flowery things!

The sonographer seemed pretty certain, she pointed out the three lines on the scan etc.
I've got 2 more growth scans because of GD so I might ask the sonographer to double check if they don't mind! How common is it for them to get it wrong?

near the end of my pregnancy i got really concerned she would infact be a he But i had a little girl. Im pretty sure the Sonographer wouldn't say If they weren't to sure xx

 

[Esoames]

That was the first thing I asked the surgeon when Isla was born! I was terrified she would be a he as I'd decorated her room and everything. I did have a 4d scan just to check.

Try not to worry xx

I have been having the same worries recently!! its brill thought that you have a couple more scans, so you can be really sure. I too think that they wouldn't say if they were not sure. x

 

[xshauna_bazx]

I've had 5 scans including 4D one and asked them everytime to check the sex lol. Everyone has said little girl and she showed me the 3 lines too. It CAN happen but the more people who say girl the more confident i'd feel. It would be weird if she came out a boy because i have bonded with her as a girl if you get me? It would be like another baby. As long as there healthy though thats the main thing. xxx

If it was a boy its normally very clear hun xx

If the sonographer was certain it was a girl, she probably is x

A winky on the scan in normally pretty discernible xx

My boy was proudly showing off his boy parts on every scan I had (scanned every 2 weeks in 3rd tri), you defo can't miss if it's a boy lol

When he was born by c-section tho the first thing we heard after he was pulled out was 'what a beautiful girl' (it was defo a boy stupid nurse)

 

[nmf1987]

my sil got told twice she was having a boy and had a girl. she lived in blue for quite a while. this was 11 years ago though and things have moved on sooo much since and they arent allowed to say if they arent 100% anymore. xxx

 

[Xcitedmum]

A girl I know had her baby about 3 weeks ago. She had been told it was a girl - as her due date approached she said she had a feeling it was a boy and that they had got it wrong. Low and behold - mum was correct! She had a boy!

 

[dani7919]

I too have been thinking the same lately.

I was told I'm having a girl at my 20 week scan and was also shown the 3 white lines. The sonographer said she was pretty certain and that she couldn't see any dangly bits but I still keep thinking that it could be a boy... even worse.. a boy with no dangly bits!!!

 

[hopefulmummy]

To be honest, that's why i would never want to find out the sex. It's only an educated guess at the end of the day and ye there is a chance they are wrong. I would never trust anything anyone told me like that until I'd seen it with my own eyes! But I am a massive control freak. there is a chance the sonographer would have been wrong yes, but I think you have enough scans for them to keep checking and be as certain as they can be!

 

[nmf1987]

lol i was lucky i have a pic of his bits from 4d scan to prove he is defo a boy. xxx

 

[Lulu_Laroo]

dani7919: Oh no can you imagine? "We think it's a boy!"

hopefullmummy: To be honest, I think I'm so worried about them getting it wrong that next time round I'll probably choose not to know the sex! I was desperate to find out this pregnancy, I just wanted to be able to buy pink & blue rather than all neutral, but now I'm further on in pregnancy I've realised how generous people are when it comes to new babies, so once it actually born people would buy us loads of pink/blue once they heard the "It's a girl/boy!" news over the phone.

 

[nadine]

They can get it wrong but nit often these days,

I wouldn't be fussed to be honest lol, I'd find it funny I think hahaha but other then clothes I've got everything else in unisex, x

 

[Lulu_Laroo]

I'll probably find it quite funny to be honest if she pops out a boy! It will be like a whole new baby like what Shauna said. We're decorating the nursery all neutral colours so that's one thing that will be ok! My mum bought a moses basket with pink covers, pretty much all the clothes we've bought are girly ones, all babygros in girly colours/patterns... it wouldn't be the end of the world, just a bit inconvenient haha!

 

[clairebear22]

We've joked about this too but we saw our boy's bits as plain as day! My OH was a very 'proud' man that morning! lol

My OH's Nan made me laugh yesterday, she's nearly 82 and came out with "now Claire are you sure there's no chance there's twins in there?"!!! Way to go Nan, scare the c**p out of me with 6 days left!! Plus there's barely any room for our boy, let alone another one!! lol x

 

[BabysMomma]

OMG yes! I too have been having doubts! But I think its mainly cos I bought lots of girly clothes and pink things. Obviously I wouldn't care if it turned out that my LO was a boy, cos all you really want at the end of the day is to have a healthy happy baby, but at the same time I have to be honest and admit that I would feel a wee bit miffed as when I'm talking about baby, its her this, her that, she this, she that!

And I daydream about what she'll be like when older and how she'll wear her hair, how pretty and confident she'll be, our girly pampering Friday nights in with snacks and a DVD etc etc. Ya know all those things Mums think about their DD.

But I do think I'm stressing cos of the clothes and accessories I've bought x

 

[flopsybunny]

My DH keeps saying that he will laugh if the baby turns out to be a boy. If the baby comes out a boy instead of a girl then it doesn't matter at all. I have bought a lot of pink but that wouldn't matter. I just want my baby to be healthy.

[pinkymum]

I had this fear for weeks before the birth! After I had done her room pink with butterflys and all her dresses etc.
Sure it'll be fine hun!

Oh and it wasn't because I wouldn't have wanted a boy. It was more because I felt I had started bonding with her as a girl. I had also naked her too, something I never thought I would do. I was worried I'd feel detached if she had come out a he

 

[Lulu_Laroo]

Oh of course I'd still be over the moon if it was a boy - before I knew the sex I genuinely had no preference over boy or girl. As long as they're healthy. But like you said I feel like I've bonded with her as a girl and even family and friends say "How are you and Poppy?" when they see me (Poppy is the name we've picked for her).
So if its a boy, we would still be ecstatically happy it would just take a little bit of getting used to.
