'Worried' about gender being wrong

[Dawnie010]

I've just returned from a 4D scan and the sonographer confirmed it was a girl ( the 3 tell-tale lines). We had told her we are having a girl.. as at my 16 week scan and 20 week scan both sonographers said girl.

The problem I have got is that during this most recent scan (4d one) when she was in the 2D mode in between baby's legs just looked like a willy!! And my hub and mother-in law, father-in-law and neighbour agree, after watching the video!!!
I am very very confused as 3 times I have been told it's a girl.... how easy is it to mistake a girl for a boy??
PS Ive bought pink already!!

Anyone else had this??

I don't know but having a boy i could see the way he lay his balls not just his tinky.. he would lie with his legs open for scan just to show off so i guess it depends how they are lying

I know of people who have been told it's a boy and it ended up being a girl, and vice versa. However, these scans were only the regular hospital ones so may not be as accurate as the 4D scan.

I've been told mine is a girl at my 20 week scan, but I'm not relying on the result, and so I've only bought unisex clothes for now.

can i ask why you are so worried about this? Does it really matter if you get a boy or a girl as long as they are healthy?

We where told girl and well she is a girl but i bought creams and lemons etc until she was born everyone else will buy you lots of pink and blue so dont worry

it is very easy to see the unbilical cord posing as a willy. when my daughter was born i saw the unbilical cord and sais oh its a boy. the midwifes said no its a girl. i was like huh. i was looking at the cord lol they showed her to me and i was like oh ok cool it was the cord lol. so they may see the cord and think its a boy now.

btw if u are having a boy and not a girl then im sure the shop if u explain will accept clothes back and whatever else u bought keep receipts

LOL cloud

If it's a boy on the 4D it's very obvious is the ball sack and willy, or was in Isaac's case anyway, I hear that the main mistake of saying a girl is a boy, is the umbilical cord, and scans can be very odd things to watch to the un-trained eye, lots of bubbles, fluids and allsorts going on, I think in your case it's definitely a girl
