| i was just wondering if the ultrasound tech ever been wrong about a baby being a boy? did the tech ever made a mistake with any of your ultrasounds or anyone you know? just wondering because i only had 1 ultrasound at 18weeks and 6days and they said boy but this pregnancy as been so completely different than with my boys thanks in advance Sincerly, chloe-2005 |

| They are usually not wrong when they say boy, because to say boy they actually have to see a penis. More often, they are wrong when they say girl. However, nothing is 100%, and the tech could be wrong. But every pregnancy is different- both of my pregnancies were different (except for the morning sickness the first 6 months) and both were girls. Congrats whatever you are having! |

Just to add to everyone else's comments - yes, ultrasounds can be wrong. My DH's older sisters still tease him that he was supposed to be Gina Marie!  |
