how accurate are 20wk scans for telling you the sex?
Hi
When I had my 20wk scan the sonographer got me to sign the hospital disclaimer as my OH and I wanted to know the sex of the baby. It took a while to see it but the sonographer 'thinks' it is a little girl...I asked her if she was sure and she said she 'thinks so'.....
We were over the moon but its playing on mind lately..is she right? My mum and mum in law have started buying pink stuff already!!
Are sonographers wrong very often do you think? xxxxxxx:\?

But saying that I dont know anyone else who has been told the wrong sex.

our sonographers are good, but they will say they think, or looks like..
i found out with last one- was told a girl (wasnt sure i believed it after 2 boys), imprinted the scan still on my mind, then went back to my ward and got the scan book out! it confused me even more!!!!
still bought pink, but will be honest- i breathed a sigh of relief that i didnt need to take it all back!!!

I asked "definately?" and the sonographer replied "there is never a definately but i see nothing that would suggest otherwise"
I ran out and bought EVERYTHING in pink
I had an emergency scan at 25+3 due to unexplained bleeding and sonographer showed me her little girlie bits "well theres three white lines whoch would suggest a vulva, but we can never say 100% but look and see for yourself"
I think they have to say that so you can sue em but sure as sure can be im having a little girl
xxxxx
Personally, I think when they're not too sure its clear by the way they tell you. xxx
That'll be one to embarrass him with when he's older )
then i had to leave for a wee and she asked my OH again are you sure you wouldn't like to know as i'm positive about it...
ARGHHH lady back off we dont want ot know. lol
At my scan the sonographer said it looks like a girl dont go mad and but everything pink but you could definatly feel safe to buy some pink things. that was at 20wks and i have to have another scan at 32 wks for LLP thats next week and im gonna ask them to double check, as i have two boys and cant believe its a girl.
I think they are more likely to get it wrong if they think it's a boy and it turns out a girl but not the other way around... So if they say it's a girl, it's generally right. My friend was expecting twin boys and ended up with one of each
Well i'm 34+4 with triplets and was told at 20weeks they could only see the sex of one baby...so my husband paid for a private scan at 24weeks and reveiled were having 2 little boys and a little girl, but sonographers are normally 97.5% right, Their equipment is so upto date that mistakes are rarely made nowadays, Unless you have awkward babies like 2 out of my 3 who decided to cross their legs, i was sooo lucky at my private scan that everyone had legs normal and not crossed....Hope you get the answers your looking for....
I was told at my 20 weeks scan boy but was told 12 weeks 4 days girl so im having a 4d on tuesday hope shes a girl i have 2 boys already but would be happy either way 💖💙😍
