Months of not knowing what gender I was having, the obstetrician did the scan and announced: "He’s perfectly healthy.” What I didn’t realise, was that my new obstetrician would have an ultrasound machine in their office and would scan me at every appointment. We moved to Singapore when I was seven months pregnant so I had to quickly line up an obstetrician. I accidentally found out as they were about to cut me open! One nurse was leaving and said, "Enjoy your boy!" We didn’t know, so I was a bit upset it was ruined! Trish. The medical receptionist congratulated me telling me it was a boy.
We had the genetic testing done, and I had called the clinic to find out if the results had returned so I could make an appointment to go through the report. Regular doctor blurted out: "Oh, you must be happy a beautiful boy after two girls." I get to my appointment and before I could even say "Don’t tell me the sex", my I was planning to find out gender - but wanted to find out together with my hubby. I ended up finding out with my third and final bubba, after we got the harmony test done. My boys are great and I wouldn’t change them for the world, and I was probably going to find out the gender of the second twin prior to their birth, but I was annoyed at the way the OB handled it. So I just shut up, as it was a bit awkwardĪnyway, my mum was with me during the appointment and when we got outside, she said “yeah, he totally said 'he'”. He totally gaslighted me and was a bit abrupt and said “I've been doing this a long time and I know better than to tell people the gender when they dont know”. I called him out and said “Did you just say 'he'?”. The specialist sonographer OB, who I had seen a lot for that pregnancy and a previous pregnancy and who I had also mixed with socially, said “he” when referring to the twin that we didn’t know was a “he”.
I was having twins, and we already knew one was a boy but didn’t know the other twin’s gender at that time (I wasn’t at peace with having twin boys, so didn’t want to know about it at that stage!). and that boy of mine is now a 24-year-old young man. The regular doctor stopped the ultrasound and said in a very clipped tone: “She speaks Japanese, idiot.”Īll I could say was, “Well, I guess that answers my question about whether I should find out or not.” I never saw that trainee doctor again. I was getting my monthly ultrasound when the trainee doctor, who was accompanying my regular doctor, assumed I did not speak Japanese and said, “It’s a boy, isn’t In Japan they do ultrasounds every month.ĭuring my first pregnancy, I was unsure whether I wanted to know the gender or not. I had all three of my pregnancies while living in Japan in the mid-late ‘90s. My second child had an erection in the scan! We still have the picture. Said that she hoped that we already knew what we were having. We already knew we were having a boy after the genetics scans, but at our 20 week scan, the first screen was of my son, from the bottom side with his legs widespread and an obvious penis. However, during my second pregnancy I decided to find out the gender at the first opportunity so it couldn’t be spoilt again.
My OB knew I didn’t want to know the gender in my first pregnancy, however towards the end of my pregnancy during a scan he said "yeah, that’s a girl for sure."Īt the time it only mildly bothered me because I was so unwell. It was my second babe and the person doing the scan just came out with, "It looks like you are having a beautiful baby girl!" Laura. There are no hard feelings at all about it - my husband and I laugh about it! Hannah. My husband and I didn’t speak about if for a week and then one night in bed he said "Do you think that the doctor slipped up?" and I was like "yeah". no", and the doctor said "Hahaha that's good, cause that is just the umbilical cord", but it was a little obvious that we were in fact having a boy. Hiccups a lot, and the doctor said: "Oh, so you know it’s a boy?". During a routine scan in the rooms at 35-ish weeks, I said that ‘he’ has been having the Our poor doctor! I was referring to the baby as 'he' all the way through my pregnancy as that is what I felt I was having - but we didn’t want to know officially. Here's 16 women on the moment they accidentally found out their baby's gender. So, what happens when you make it pretty clear that you don't want to find out your baby's gender and then someone. Some people enjoy the old school mystery of not knowing - that little bit of excitement in a world where everything is so, y'know, accessible.
