Accuracy of Sexing Scans

[Jules]

I know sexing scans have quite a high accuracy rating but not 100%, just wondered if anyone has experienced or knows someone that has had this told to them incorrectly?!?

Someone i know had a scan 6times after 20 weeks due to complications and everytime they told her it was a boy, and it turned out to be a girl! that was only about a month ago at the same hospital i am going to.

I thought (and was told off my MW) that if its a boy then they can tell morealess 100% but as my friend found out this wasn't quite true! and that if its a girl then it was a little harder to find out.......

omg, i was told i was having a girl but she wasnt 100% as she only got a quick look, and for some mad reason i have bought like everything pink including pram etc. now im really worried she is going to come out a he!

im sticking to neutrals, not bec i am too afraid of the sex turning out wrong, but more coz what if next time i have a different sex, i cant afford to buy everything over again.

LOL Well I haven't had the sexing scan with this one yet but with my daughter, the scan was SOOOO CLEAR that I literally could SEE her girl parts! I'll have to find it and post it on here! It's damn near obscene LOL! But I was glad I had PROOF! Now all you girls got me scared about this one LOL.

They tell you now its not definate but "they think its a a..." theres a thread in pregnancy club called "wrong baby" the womens friend had a little boy after having 3 scans and being told each time it was a girl. She had bought everything pink, including the pram and furniture!

LOL if only we could all get such a clear look hehe I'm hoping for one anyway! I hope you find that pic

 

[Madwolf3]

LOL I'll look for it tomorrow- I promise! I know I still have it, just have to find it!

If they tell me mine is a girl I'm going to make them check again LOL

i'm lucky hear, because all though i had to go through the pain of my amnio, my results of the sex are nearly 100% accurate and i knew the sex before i even saw his willy Otherwise i may have a girl dressed in a lot of blue clothes lol xx

Sexing scans are 90% accurate. There is always that 10% chance of it not being correct unless you saw the bits properly like Madwolf.

We had quite a good look at Juniors bits and theres no doubt in my mind that he's a boy. If he comes out as a girl then Ill be worried!

My friend was told that his baby was a girl but when he came out he was a boy, so I know theyre not 100%.

I prefer most of the neutral coloured things anyway so we've pretty mcuh stuck to them.

My baby was trying to hide. He had his cord between his legs but after trying to look at different angles, the sonographer said she's 95% sure its a boy as she thinks she could seen his testicles and the top of his penis. Guess he's just shy! Still as she has such a hard time trying to tell for sure I wouldn't be too shocked if it was wrong.

I've had a feeling though that it's a boy and the idea that it's a girl just somehow doesn't seem right.

My gut instinct on gender was right on with my first two, and the ultrasound clinic would not tell me what the sex was and could not.

Because this pregnancy came as quite a shock, and due to the fact that I gave all my baby clothes away, I want to know for sure the sex of this baby. I will be having an amnio done so that should confirm completely what the sex of the baby is This will probably be done in March sometime.

I truly believe it's a girl....we shall see

I know someone who was told she was having a boy but had a girl.

With Nathan they said there was no doubt he was a boy, he had it all on display but it just confirmed what I already knew anyway, just knew he was a boy beforehand, instinct or something.

This time I will be finiding out the sex but MW told me that you have to sign something now saying you understand that scans arent 100% accurate ect. Basicly just so you can't sue them if it's wrong lol.

I really think this one is a girl so if they say girl on the scan then i'll believe it but if they say boy i'll probably pay for a private scan to confirm it

One of my friends was pregnant with twins (or so she was told) and at 20 week scan she was told they were both boys (non identical) however she ended up having triplets all girls. She said she didnt know who was more suprised her or the midwife. Just goes to show they are not 100%.

 

[xCherylx]

I stuck to neutrals only until the sexing scan, then they said it was a boy unmistakably! lol *sat there with his bits on show* Now I have only a few boy things but I am 100% sure it's not a girl XD Got the neutrals as back up though

omg, i was told i was having a girl but she wasnt 100% as she only got a quick look, and for some mad reason i have bought like everything pink including pram etc. now im really worried she is going to come out a he!

OMG, I have this same fear! My tech said she was 'pretty sure' it was a girl cause there was nothing 'poking out' at her, but now I'm terrified it's a boy cause I've bought all pink stuff!

 

[xCherylx]

Yeah I think if I was told it was a girl I wouldn't buy alot of pink stuff just incase. Saying that I don't think I'd be able to control myself

 

[Always&4ever]

Even if they were 100% I'd still by unisex things, the sonographer told me on quite a few occasions that I'm having a girl and didn't say she was only 90% sure but shes onky human and humans make mistakes which is why I wouldn't go out and buy things specifically for a certain sex until the LO is born

 

[GAURDIANANGEL]

wow.
im scared now lol. j/k
