what are the odds?

[mommy of 3]

I have 2 boys and want a girl real bad. I went to the dr. and they said i am having a girl.. could they be wrong?

How did the Dr know you were having a girl, was it a scan?

My scan sayd Girl, but they were quick to point out it's not 100% accurate!

Congrats though ;0)))

[mommy of 3]

yeah they did a scan...

Well I've baught a load of pink things now so if she's a boy then I'll be in a bit of a pickle! I had a boy first so I found it hard to believe too!

Ahhhh, bless, when you due?

a scan at 20 weeks is something like 97% accurate.

if youre unsure then why not wait until she arrives before buying all the pink stuff? just buy neutral for now.

[redcrx]

did they show you her bits? i think that boy bits on scan look like a mushroom and girl bits are 3 lines

I am 28 weeks so it should be right on.. how could they miss the man thing? right?

leg in the way, tucked in....

I'd say More likely to get it wrong saying it�s a girl than if they said it was a boy

11 more weeks is along time.....

can you not consider a private scan, a 3d one can be done up until 32 weeks i think and privately youll get more time to investigate.

I waited 9 months to find out the sex of my baby, you can do it if you really try and then go out and buy as many girlie things as you want if they were correct :)

Like I said, I've gone ahead and bought pink. If it's wrong, it's wrong. I always think.... the worst that can happen is that I'm having a boy and thats fab anyway! Just bought up to 3-6 month clothes, so not too much spent out on pink!

Everything else could be either/ or!
