Could my baby boy be a baby girl???

So I’m a young single ftm (18) and when I first went in for an appointment, I was 16 weeks (I know it’s late I was scared) and they did an ultrasound to check if everything was okay, they told me right there that it was a boy, but I feel like it was too early to tell? I got my second ultrasound (anatomy scan) at 23 weeks, and was hoping that they would show the gender again, just because I was a little suspicious, but the baby’s legs were too close together, and they couldn’t tell.. I always dream it’s a girl but I’m sure I’m just going crazy! Can that happen where they mistake the gender or am I just trippin haha


*pic inserted is the 16 week scan*

Looks like a boy to me, from my understanding girls usually have three lines.

It’s possible as it happened to me. 16 weeks I was told girl and 20 weeks it was def a boy!


Just buy colorful things or stick or grey and white as it would stink to buy all blue or pink and have to change it.

Looks like a boy to me. Yes, they can make mistakes and that is on the early side for gender but it's rare to mistake the gender. I have 2 boys and they are super sweet and love their mama. If you plan an having more, having a boy first is good too if you have a girl later she'll have a protective big brother...lol. seriously though, a mother son bond is incredible. You'll be surprised.

Definitely looks like a boy! If you have a growth scan, they can verify it then. I’ve heard that you tend to dream the opposite of what you’re having. Sure that’s a silly old wives’ tale, but I dreamt right before my anatomy scan I was having a boy and I’m having a girl
