So today I had a growth scan because at our 20 week scan and again at our 22 week scan baby wouldn’t turn around so the face check and front of heart check could be done.
Anyway I went for the scan today (28w +1d) and as he was doing it he stopped and was checking the kidneys and I’m pretty sure I saw the sex 😩 we didn’t want to find out the sex at all and I’m so annoyed by it!
Has anyone else had this?
Also he said the baby is measuring big but everything’s okay but I may have to go back for more scans if my midwife decides at my next appt. Has anyone else been told that before?
Sorry for the essay 😅

Ah that’s so frustrating for you! We were happy to find out the sex, but at every scan so far (we’ve had one every four weeks) they double checked with us before scanning that area so we didn’t see something and spoil the surprise.
We had the opposite where one week the baby seemed to be growing slowly so they booked us in for another scan two weeks later, but everything turned out fine and the measurements were likely slightly off when the tech scanned us before. Usually everything is fine growth wise though, even if you have to go for an extra scan. It’s hard for them to get an accurate reading, so I wouldn’t worry unless the baby is consistently very large/small.

yeah they have checked with us before too and something told me to say to him at the beginning that we aren’t finding out the sex but I didn’t 😩
And that’s good to know, thank you x

it can be helped! The sonographer can say I’m going to scan that region look away, like we’ve been told to before 😊
And what I saw between the legs, I’m pretty can not be mistaken lol but you never know. I will just try to erase it from my thoughts 😄
