20 week scan gender confirmation

Dear OP,

Congrats on your pregnancy. It is 99% accurate. As far as in my friend's circle, it has not gone wrong. Also enjoy ur pregnancy and wish for healthy baby without complications.

 

Please be assured that ur carrying a girl only. No way the scan is wrong especially when the technician has showed u three lines for a girl. Whatever symptoms ur having and based on that ur saying boy or girl is all old wives tale. Only the ultrasound and later ur pregnancy confirms the truth.

I wonder how come ladies want the ultrasound to go wrong or rather think its wrong when its a girl.

Btw open I too had all the symptoms for a girl n finally there came a boy
.

 

It was accurate for both my kids, but some babies are "shy" and won't get into a position that the tech can tell. My sist was like that. My mom had three separate scans to check for gender, but didn't get to find out till delivery because the baby would keep her back to the probe.

My first kid, I didn't care if it was a boy or a girl. I got a boy first time. Second time, I was hoping for a girl, so I could have one of each, but it didn't really matter in the long run. I was happy when the scan showed girl, but I would have been just as happy if my second had been a boy.

I've never known symptoms to be entirely correct. I had EVERY symptom with my first child, both "boy" and "girl," and almost no symptoms with my second child. In fact, I didn't really believe I was pregnant the second time, despite three positive tests, until a scan at six weeks to check for a heartbeat because I never had morning sickness or tender breasts or anything.

 

I had the opposite in my family. I have a lot of younger cousins, and the last several babies born in my family had been boys, up to my son. My daughter was the first girl in the family for twelve years, so everyone was pretty excited for her arrival.

I wish people would get over the expectation of a specific gender already. It isn't as if you control what you're getting! I mean, theoretically it is possible to improve your chances of one sex over the other based on various positions, when you have sex, etc, but it's not guaranteed unless you go to a clinic and specifically choose only male or female embryos to be implanted.
