Hi everyone, i had my ultrasound at 20 weeks and was told im having a girl but everyone thinks boy, advice?

HI all,





I had an ultrasound at 20 weeks and the sonographer said we are having a girl.





I am now 32 weeks.





All my friends and family think a boy though. I am carrying high the same way i did my son.





The only difference i had between this pregnancy and my first (son) is that i have not put on much weight.





I personally cannot tell, but i hope for a girl and i brought all the clothes for a girl.





Any advice/suggestions? This happened to anyone?





ThanksHi everyone, i had my ultrasound at 20 weeks and was told im having a girl but everyone thinks boy, advice?
hi. i am six months pregnant with a little girl also. everyone kept telling me i am having a boy as well. this is my first child


but i just have to say to trust what the sonogragher says. i am also carring her up high and i havent gained much weight either. i had talked to my docter and he had told me that you can carry each gender the same way. its a myth that a boy sits lower and a girl sits higher. so my advice is to listen to the pros. they have been doing this for a long time. good luck!Hi everyone, i had my ultrasound at 20 weeks and was told im having a girl but everyone thinks boy, advice?
If you could tell sex by whether you are ';carrying high'; or not, then why would ultrasounds have been invented?
just listen to what the sonographer said, but sometimes they can't tell at first, because of the baby moving around. Try getting anothern just to be sure. O and congratulations.
wait the 9 months and surprise both your self and your family
Well sometimes family always think they are right and the professionals arent, but remember the sonographer is experienced and he is trained in his area, so he basically knows more then your family. But if your still not satisfied go to a different sonographer and see. Or just wait for the little wonder to come.
you family doesnt know thats just wives tales my family told me i was having a oy becase the heartbeat but i'm not it is a girl! just tell them we'll see and when your baby gets here they will feel stupid
the way you carry is just a myth, there is no scientific research supporting how you carry the baby will indicate sex...just go with the ultra sound
well at first everyone was telling me it look like a boy the shape of my tummy i got an ultrasound and found out it was a girl the best thing to do is not to worry about it tell your doctor you want another ultrasound and see the screen for your self to see if anything is there i saw on mine it look like little girl parts to me
i was told my son was a girl up until I was 8 months prego. So you never know
I was told twice that I was having a girl through ultrasounds. The sonographer even showed me what she called the ';cheeseburger';. I had a beautiful healthy BOY (with all the anatomy of a normal boy, no cheeseburger!).





My advise is to take it with a pinch of salt. Have boy and girl names ready and buy mostly neutral colours, green, yellow, white etc and leave the pink and blue for once the baby is born.





Either way you are going to be happy, right? As long as he or she is healthy.





Good luck!
Every pregnancy is different and there is no way by looking at a woman you can determine the gender of a baby. Don't let anyone tell you differently. There are hundreds of old wives tales about baby gender that are simply untrue.





Chances are that you are probably having a girl but the only way to know for sure is to look between the legs after the baby is out.
It's a myth that carrying high or low indicates the sex of a baby. It's also a myth that you can tell the sex of the baby by its heartrate, or by consulting a Chinese lunar calendar, or by suspending a wedding ring over your belly, or mixing your urine with Drano. Of course, all of these methods have a 50% chance of being right, so people continue to believe them.





A good ultrasonographer can see what sex a baby is, but they can still make a mistake. Babies get into all sorts of weird positions in the womb, making it difficult to see details. In the right (or should that be wrong?) position, a baby girl's hand might look like a penis, or a baby boy's penis might be hidden. The sonographer is much more likely to be correct than your friends and family, but to be on the safe side I wouldn't spend too much money on girl's clothes.
Family will always feel like they are right and they know everything. Well sometimes they are, but an ultrasound will be able to tell you for sure what you are having. With both my boys for sure you could tell it was a boy the little boy part was definetly showing and sticking out. Now I am pregnant with a girl and I see two what they call hamburger buns.
The only reason that I trusted my ultrasound was because it was blatantly obvious that we were having a girl. I had 3 ultrasounds during my pregnancy. The first one was because of the blood test coming back positive for downs syndrome. The doc was so sure it was a girl that he even wrote it on the ultrasound in capitol letters! But I also know a lady that I used to work with that had 4 kids and every one of them she was told during the ultrasound that the sex was the opposite from what she ended up having.





Oh, my daughter does not have downs syndrome either, by the way. False positive. She is now a healthy 2 year old and is DEFINATELY a girl!!! :)
I've had one ultrasound and it was at 20 weeks too. I was told I'm having a girl also. I'm carrying high and have gained about 28lbs so far which has put me up to 178lbs. lol. My doctor said the way you carry and how much weight you put on has nothing to do with the sex of the baby...... only time will tell!
Whatever you were told at the ultrasound is more likely to be true than listening to your family who aren't professionals. It is not very often that you will be told wrong at your ultrasound (although it does happen occasionally). I would personally trust doctors rather than family.
I also had two ultra sounds with my first baby and was told both times it was a boy. So off we go and buy blue this and that and everything else. Day of birth .. emergency ceasar (but that's another story) and out pops a girl!





She loves blue!!!
