Q: Can an ultrasound be wrong?

Well the lady said, it looks like a boy! Of course I'm gonna be happy, but I wanted to know if it was a boy for sure. I asked her "Is it a boy or does it LOOK like a boy?" She said it just "looks like a boy". So I dont know if I should be excited about it maybe being a boy, or if I should wait until the next one to see if it really is a boy.
In my heart of hearts, I feel like its a GIRL! I've dreamt of it being a girl, this pregnancy is totally different from my first with my son, and of course my family thinks its a girl! I dont want anyone to think that I'm being ungrateful, because I should be happy that the baby is fine considering all the things wrong with me! I am, I just really want to know if I should tell my family that its a boy and we're not even sure yet!
So my question is, does anyone think that the ultrasound could have been wrong? It's amazing how similar the boy and girl parts look at this point!
Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Yes, they can be wrong. I was pretty lucky with mine she just laid there and when she lifted her legs to kick it was a clear girl!
As long as your baby is healthy. I would confirm with the next ultrasound.
Good luck!

its very possible that it could be wrong, she may have saw the umbilical cord and mistaken it for a penis since the baby was moving around so much
id wait until the next ultrasound to get excited

Yeah, they can be wrong.
My aunt was told it was a boy. She got plenty of blue stuff. Then, iT WAS A GIRL!!!!
So, they can mess those things up from time to time.
All other pregnancy's i've known about have been right though.
CONGRATULATIONS either way!
