wrong sex of baby?

I am 17 weeks pregnant with twins and went for an ultrasound today. The technician could tell that Baby A is a girl...no problem.

When she got to Baby B, who is in the breach position, she really struggled for a long time before she could tell me the sex. It was hard to get a picture of baby's bottom because of the way it is positioned. Finally, she said Baby B is also a girl.

I know this technician knows what she is doing, but I was just wondering if any of you have ever been told the sex of your baby to have them change it later on? I just don't know if she was 100% sure it's a girl.

Most of the time when they are wrong it is normally when they think it is a girl but find out it is a boy later on. If you are not having an other U/S I'd suggest going to one of those U/S places for a gender check. I heard they are fairly cheap (not 100% but I think like $45ish)

Congrats on the twins!

They're never 100%, especially with suboptimal positioning and at 17 weeks.  Most people I know who've been told the wrong sex (and there are quite a few)  it's been when they're told it's a girl but it's a boy....

I'd hang on until your next US before you buy double pink of anything..... : )

I have a good friend who was told girl all along - well suprise - BOY!

If I am not mistaken, there was a gal on here that was pg with twins and they told her she was pg with boy/girl then at 20 week ultrasound and when she went back at 28 weeks they told her it was both boys!  They can be wrong!

My son is 15 weeks old.  When I was 20 weeks pregnant with him we had an ultrasound done and we were told that it was a girl.  I had to have another ultrasound done at 31 weeks to check growth and SURPRISE, she was really a he.  And there was no doubt about it, he gave us a great shot.  So yes, it does happen.

Thank you for your responses. I want a little boy so bad. Maybe I am just in denial and trying to cling to the hope that the ultrasound technician was wrong. I go to see a specialist (due to being high risk) for an extensive ultrasound in 2 weeks, so I will ask for his opinion at that time. I feel like a horrible, horrible person for feeling this way. I have been crying nonstop and can't shake this sadness.

With that being said, I will love WHATEVER God has chosen to bless me with - boys, girls, or one of each. I know the moment they are born, I will say to myself, "These are the babies I was meant to have my entire life."

Thanks for listening.
