Wrong ultrasound gender

Stefanie

So I have a beautiful baby girl who is 17 months. While pregnant with baby #2, my husband and I went for a private scan at 16 weeks and were over the moon when they told us we were having a boy! I always envisioned myself as a boy mom but was very grateful to have a daughter. I had this little guy all planned out in my mind-bought clothes had the name all ready and about to start in on his room..well my 20 week scan revealed we were in fact having another girl. My husband kept saying little guy and the tech looked over and said “what do you keep saying” he’s like “it’s a boy, right” she’s like is that what they told you because this is a girl...I started crying on the table..I think I was in complete shock. I am not unhappy to be having another little girl but feel like I’m mourning the loss of my son and the idea of this little boy who I may never come to meet. I’ve been a mess the last 24 hours and can not control my emotions. I know in time I’ll get over it but being told one thing and having your heart set to then be told something completely different just felt like a punch in the gut.
