Baby's Sex
OK I need some advice - found out yesterday I am having a boy! Which I'm so happy about, thought I wanted a girl but I'm ridiculously happy its a boy guess I didnt mind after all.
The thing is the sonographer didn't sound too sure. My baby was very active, but me and oh were looking at sonographer expectantly & and she said, 'I THINK it's a boy.' She sounded a little more sure as it went on (he turned to face us & I think I caught a glimpse) but by no means sure. Hmmm. Silly now I really wanted to know the sex...and I'm glad I found out...but I can't help worrying that I'll prepare for a baby boy & he'll turn out to be a girl!
Has anyone else had a similar experience? Should I trust that it's a boy...? I've only bought cream-coloured things so far.

i dont no if they can get it wrong if they say its a boy can they? we saw our little man in all his glory flashing us lol and we all laughed as the sonographer said i hope you wanted to know the sex!
if you're not 100% sure just tell yourself that u dont no... prepare for notknowing for sure and buy neutral things. or have a sexing scan, u can get them from 60quid i think, unless u go for the whole hog and have the 4d thing done but thats more pricey obviously.
play it safe lol if you're really not sure..what about the heart beat on ur doppler? gallop = girl.... train= boy, lol fun to try!

My cousin was told at her 20 week scan that she was def having another boy. The consultant told that he was 70% sure it was a boy. She had her baby a month ago and it turned out to be a girl. But then again her mw did say that the hearbeat sounded like a girl all the way through her pregnancy.
If you are really worried about it Just get all neutral stuff or book urself in for a sexing scan.

We're going to have a 4D scan anyway so I guess we'll find out for sure in 8 weeks or so. I think I'll just assume it's a boy for now - but I'll be careful what I buy!
i'm just gonna butt into this thread, hope you don't mind!
does the heartbeat thing really work? we were at the hospital the other day for monitoring and i commented to hubby that the heartbeat sounded just like a horse galloping!!!
he'll be gutted, he wants a boy!!
I'd have to say that if they didn't sound too sure i'd either not tempt fate by buying for a boy, or i'd go and get a private scan done too!
will be fun to wind up hubby though!
I just wanna get all excited about my son!
Have 2 boys and it is true what they say - boys are all for their mums!!!! Am really chuffed you had a good scan and all went well. Got my 12 wk scan tomorrow but cannot wait to get my 20 wk one.to find out what am having. Really want a girl this time but I know what joys boys can bring so bit mixed up really. Why dont you get a few pale blue accessories that a boy or girl could wear?
Good luck with your 12 week scan! Well I reckon the may & june mums to be will all have girls as we're all having boys in april so it seems.
