BF and I chose to find out the sex of the baby at scan - baby was face down but lady who scanned was 95% sure it was a girl I am now on my 34wk check-up and the midwife comes out with the shocking statement that in her opinion its a boy with the heartbeat speed and regularity even though she had asked when I walked in did I know what I was having! I am beside myself now as the reason we chose to find out was that I had such a gut feeling it was a boy when I fell pregnant so finding out it was a girl was not a disappointment in any way but I did have to adjust to the idea of a girl. I have had 2 sleepless nights worrying about it. I don't know how to find out if we are defiantly having a girl? can I request another scan? Im so angry with the midwife as when I questioned her does the heartbeat really tell the sex she said will it is a bit of an old wives tale but also she is rarely wrong! I don't think she has any concept of what upset she has caused by such a flippant comment based on basically rubbish.
my BF has said he is happy either way but I am thinking practically we are on a budget and have steadily over the months brought everything we need and all aimed for a girl.
