Is there any chance?

This is my first post on this board though I've been lurking her for some time.  I started lurking when I was thinking about having baby #2 because my first child is a boy and I so desperately wanted my second child to be a girl since my husband and I both only want two children.  I had every intention of doing my best to sway the odds when we tried to conceive number 2.  Fate had other plans though and I got pregnant before I was ready. On Wednesday I was told by the ultrasound tech that baby #2 is a boy.  The ultrasound was done at 21 weeks.  Have any of you ever known a tech to be wrong on a boy determination at 21 weeks?  I have been in such denial that I have another ultrasound scheduled for tomorrow at a local 3D ultrasound place that will do regular ultrasounds only for gender determination just to get a second opinion and so I can ask them to show me what they are looking at too.  Am I just being silly?

you aren't being silly, go get you another u/s! After about 18wks, ultrasounds are usually 95% correct. But there are circumstances where things can get in the way and depending on the experience of the tech and machinery, cords can be mistaken and so can fingers as a penis.

We wanted only two kids too. I have two boys. who are 19mths apart. Ages 3 and 1 right now. Accidentally got pregnant this time around! but it turned out to be a girl for some reason...

Having two little boys has been such a wonderful journey. I'm so excited about the future with them growing up close together. I wanted boys after watching Home Improvement growing up and the Sandlot!! ;)

Congrats on your pregnancy! And please update how the u/s goes!! see if they'll give you a gender shot pic

Mariana....I'm sorry that you are dealing with the same thing I am dealing with.

I am back to tell you all that I just got back from the ultrasound and it does appear this baby is a boy.  At first the cord was in the way but then the baby moved around and the tech was able to confirm it.  I saw it too and though it wasn't glaringly obvious, I could see what she was pointing out and I'm sure it wasn't a mistake since that was the opinion of the other tech too.  So now I have to work on coming to terms with the fact that I will only ever be a mommy to boys.

Girldreamer,

I too was in ur boat until yesterday I was looking at every u/s under the sun on the bc u/s board to see how often they get it wrong at 19+ weeks and as I'd had 3 girl results by tell me pink or blue I was def doubting the sonographer when she'd said this was going to be my 3rd boy ..... Well I'd my scan yesterday at 22+6 and indeed it is a boy ...... I really thought I could be one of the few that could phone my hubby and say they got it wrong it really is the girl we've been dreaming of ..... I know how you're feeling but I think once u know for sure then u can start accepting it and not keep questioning if it really is a boy or just the cord hth

I've included my scan at 19 weeks and his wee manhood at the left ..... I really was in denial thinkin it could be anythin else  xxxxxxxx
