Questions About Ultrasound Accuracy...

When I was pegnant the tech was the same way. Se was right. My husband and I took the precaution, though, of buying neutral colors or items that could be for either boy or girl.

WELL IT WHEN I HAD MINES THEY WERE CORRECT BUT SEE IF SHE HAS BEEN DOING ULTRASOUNDS FOR A LONG TIME AND IF SO THEN GO RIGHT ALONE WITH HER BUT GOOD LUCK ON EVERYTHING AND CONGRATS

When I was pregnant with my daughter the tech told me that I was having a girl and she was positive that it was a girl, I have a nice pic of the 2 parallal lines. But my cousin with her first they told her she was having a girl and she kept asking for another ultrasound to be sure because she didn't think it was a girl, but they wouldn't give her another, so imagine her supprise when she had all pink and had a little boy. But that is the only case I know of where they were wrong.

My tech at my doctors office was correct when she said I was having a boy. My first ultra sound was done a little normal than usual, at about 15 weeks. Some of his other body parts had not grown big enough yet to see well enough, so I was schedule for a second one, and sure enough it was still a boy in there! I think the dr and techs are rarley wrong, but my mother in law did tell me of a friend of hers ultrasound showed a boy but the baby came out to be a girl. They went back and looked at the ultrasound pics and it ended up being her hand between her legs with her thumb up! BUt it sounds like your dr knows what shes doing..i wouldnt doubt it. You can always get another one futher down the road. Congrats and good luck!

If you and everyone in the room are sure of what you saw i'd say your having a boy. With my first baby the doctor told me we were having a girl and pointed to what he was talking about but i couldn't see what he was talking about and he wasn't even sure his exact words were "it's a girl, i think". But in my opinion this doctor was pretty dumb. We were lucky though we have another ultrasound a few weeks later, because the doctor aren't suppose to do them, and it was clear that it was a boy.

Not exactly sure how accurate they are, but I know when my mom was pregant with me and them my sister (Im same age as you) she was that we both were boys, only to find out otherwise after delivery.

HEY C.,
I JUST HAD MY LITTLE GIRL 8 WEEKS AGO,SO I KNOW WHAT YA MEAN.THEY TOLD ME I WAS HAVING A GIRL AND SURE ENOUGH I HAD A GIRL.BUT I HAD TO HAVE SEVERAL ULTRASOUNDS ANYWAY.SO EVERYTIME I WENT FOR ONE I WOULD ASK IS IT STILL A GIRL:)THEY WOULD ALWAYS SAY YEAH. I REALLY COULD NOT TELL ON THE ULTRASOUND WHAT THEY WERE LOOKING AT. BUT ON THE FIRST ULTRASOUND AT 20 WEEKS SHE HAD HER LEGS UP SO THEY COULD NOT TELL!I HAD TO ROLL OVER ON MY SIDE FOR ALITTLE WHILE JUST TO SEE IF SHE WOULD MOVE AND FINALLY SHE DID. JUST ENJOY BEING PREGNANT!I LOVED BEING PREGNANT ITS THE BEST FEELING.MORE THAN LIKELY THEY ARE RIGHT.TAKE CARE AND BEST WISHES!!

Congrats on the Baby! I was pregnant with twins...they weren't able tell me if they were identical or fraternal because of the positioning.....but, they showed me the little boy parts on both.....and what do you know..........Identical Twin Boys. I think the only time they are unsure is when the baby is position where they are unable to get a good look. Good Luck and I wish you the Best of Happiness it is truly a blessing.

I am a mom to a wonderful 4 year old little boy and a 7 month old little girl, with my son they were only about 70% sure that he was a boy (he moved during the ultrasound) and they were right. With my little girl they couldn't see because she had her knees up to her chin so they couldn't even make a guess but the dr. was about 90% sure she was a girl because of her heartbeat. So in my opinion between the heartbeat and the ultrasound if they say it's a boy they're probably right, especially if all 4 people in the room saw the same thing. Hope this has been helpful.

Congrats! I've had 4 children and everyone of them was guessed correctly by the ultrasound tech, so don't worry so much. Relax and enjoy this wonderful time in your life!

Congratulations on your healthy pregnancy!

My dr was right on with my ultrasound. That being said they were wrong three times with my mom (we were all three suppose to be boys), but that was a long long time ago and technology has come a long way. If all four of you saw it, I would not be concerned - just enjoy!

C., sometimes the tech can mistake the embylical cord for the boy part. They usually are right 95% of the time. I hope this helps, A.
