My friend has just had her baby. She found out the sex at her scan, a girl, so as you do, went out and got all pink clothes, bedding, decor, pram ect ect. She was going to call her Lola, and her others kids were looking forward to a new baby sister. However when the baby arrived, 'Lola' is a boy!!!!! Now called Robbie, all is well. She managed to swop most of the clothes, since she left the labels on. But he still has a 'pink' bedroom.

The moral to this tale, try not to put 100% trust in sexing scans, they can be wrong!

Wow !!

That would be really annoying eh ? My hubby's cousins, hubby was so sure that their 2nd was a boy and they went mad buying all the blue stuff. Baby pops out, baby is a girl, . He thought he'd seen a willy on the scan but it must've been the cord.

I have been told our baby is likely to be a girl - this is great news for us as we both really wanted a girl as our first child. 

However we are trying not to get too excited and carried away with the buying of cute girly clothes as it isn't 100% accurate.

It's is sooo difficult though - I am trying to keep to mutual colours but a few pinks are starting to slip in now!

Hmmmm -what is the male name for Abbi ???? :/

Hope you get your wee pink one, cuddlymum!

Lol - really hope Adam is a boy - moses basket etc are all blues, lilacs and white!

The man did say to us that it's not 100%, but he checked several times from different angles and said "There's his willie", so we're fairly sure! It certainly looked the same as Cameron's scan - and I thought I saw his bits a couple of times before the sonographer asked if we wanted to know! I may have been more cautious if he'd told us a girl as it can be less obvious on a scan. I've got my 4D scan booked for 30 weeks - would be a big shock if we were told it's a girl then!
