I just had my 18 weeks scan. But I am not so sure about my baby gender as the told me is a girl because there was no penis present.

I was just wondering can they be wrong about the baby sex on the ultrasound?

Hi babylove,

Even though ive heard of some cases where the sonographer may have got it wrong i like to think that since they are usually trained via an university or college tutor they must know or at least have had a fairly good idea of what they have seen on the scan.

I've had 2 children & they've got it spot on both times.

Thank you I hope you are right.

I have had one child and they were right with her gender, however I don't know if they do this in every hospital but when I went and got induced they asked me if it happens to be a boy if I want him circumcised. it made me a little weary, but they were still right thank god. if she would have been a boy he would have been wearing pink for a while. lol. I wish you a safe pregnancy and congrats

Firstly Congratulations.... I don't think any sonographer will 100% confirm the gender of any baby and they should have told you that. Will you be having any more scans? x

[babylove]

No I won't. I will just wait for the baby to arrive. The most important thing is that is a healthy baby. Thanks.

Congratulations!

The sonographer told my OH and I that we are expecting a girl, but he did say that they can never be 100% with girls (boys are a bit more obvious, lol!). I think they have to say that 'just in case', but if they couldn't tell, I don't think they would have said anything. We've got 6 weeks to go, so we'll be finding out soon enough!

Like you said, as long as the baby is healthy, that's all that matters X
