Is It Always True? Posted: 01-02-04 13:24pm
I would like to know if anyone has had an
ultra sound and the technician told you
you were having a girl or boy and it wound
up being the opposite of what they tell
you? i'm wondering if
I should be prepared for something like
that or should I trust what the tech says.
I'm also hearing all these stories and
opinions on what other people think im
having because of how im carrying or what
I eat a lot of. They say if you carry
high it's a girl and low its a boy. If
you eat meat and cheese its a boy. If
your urine is bright neon it's a boy and a
girl if it's dull. If you look good
during pregnancy its a boy cause girls
steal mama's looks. Has anyone seen any
truth in this stuff or is it just bull?

I never found out what I was having,
because the ultrasound tech never told my
doctor. But I do know someone else who
was told they were having a girl but ended
up having a boy so sometimes they do make
mistakes all the other details are just
old wives tales, some people believe them
some people don't but don't think you know
100% because of one of them because its
not always right. Ultrasounds are more
trustable than how you are carrying or
what you eat but not always 100%. Hope I
helped a little bit.. Bye

I know sometimes a finger just happens to
look like a penis or maybe they don't see
the penis. I hate how it's not 100%
right. If I happen to be pregnant I want
to buy baby things according to the sex
but you might have to return everything if
it's wrong and what a pain!

You're right. I feel that the tech
should not say anything if they are not
100% sure. I know they sometimes see
things that are not really there but in
that case its understandable. Now when
they say "im 110% sure it will be a girl"
and when my daughter comes out with a
penis it would make me want to smack that
tech you know what I saying?

Normally if they don't see a penis, they
will say things like "i'm about 85% sure
that it's a girl" they will usually never
say i'm 100% sure... And so on. I've had
two ultrasounds and both techs were right.
A lot of times you have a gut feeling on
the sex of your baby, and at least for me,
i've been right too. It is better to wait
until at least 22 weeks before having an
ultrasound. The longer you are able to
wait, the more accurate they will be, as
you will have given your baby's genitalia
more time to develop and grow.
i'm wondering if
I should be prepared for something like
that or should I trust what the tech says.
