Had my 20 weeks last Monday.?

Sonographer told me 95% chance she's a girl but not to be 100%. I really want to buy some girls clothes. What are the chances of her getting it wrong?

Answer:
I think she has to say that so she cant be liable....its just precautionary im sure. I was told when I was expecting my daugther that it was 95% chance of her being a girl so I just went with it. I dont think they get it wrong too often but I guess its happened. Goodluck x
I have never been told wrongly on the sex of my children. I was told this one is a girl and I have already bought little girl stuff. Love the frilly pink stuff! You should be fine. Good luck with the baby!
they don't say 100% because if something happens and there wrong you can sue them you having a girl there almost always right congrats
Not very likey sweetie! If it said 95% girl. Then it is a girl. My daughter was 88% girl and she wouldnt even show her parts to him so i was more nervous it would end up a boy. The main reason they say that they arent positive is because if they are wrong you can sue them. But if he said 95% get your butt out and buy them pink outfits! Congrats and good luck!
I was told the same thing and though I am very excited I know these tests may sometimes be wrong, therefore I prefer to hold out and wait until the baby is born. At present i told everyone not to buy anything in pink as soon as she is born however I will want everything pink. The thought is enough for now I know you are seeing alot of pretty girl stuff to buy but hold out, you'll see just as much after she is born. Congrats!
I am an OB nurse and usually if the sonographer says they are pretty sure of the sex of the baby, they are right. However, they are usually right if they say it is a boy, but there is a bigger chance that there could be something they are not seeing if they think it is a girl. In my experience as a nurse, there have only been maybe 2 times in 5 years that they have been wrong.
She probably said she wasn't 100% sure because she might not have gotten the best look. With my niece, they did about 3 ultrasounds and they kept saying they were about 85% sure it was a girl, but on the last one, they finally got a good look and said girl for sure. With my son, it took about 15 seconds into the 20 week ultrasound, and she said boy for sure.

I don't know the odds, but I've heard that it's more likely to be wrong if they say girl and it's really a boy, than they are if they say boy and it's a girl. The only two people I know who it happened to, though, the tech said boy and they had girls. One actually had twin girls! But I think she may have skipped her second ultrasound, and lied to us about it... A second baby is kind of a big thing to miss.

Go ahead and buy a few pretty things, but don't cut the tags off yet. Just in case.
