My most wonderful OB/GYn would call both my babies “she” when I was pregnant…but I knew I was having boys before i delivered. I don’t think a comment like that means much.

And I don’t think a comment about fantastic looking legs is creepy at all. I think it is kind of funny and cute.

Here in the UK, I don’t think the sonographers even look for the gender unless you ask them to (or unless there’s a specific medical reason, of course).

With each of my four pregnancies I have asked the sex, after all of the ‘anomoly’ checks had been carried out, and every time the sonographer had to go back and look again to tell us.

We don’t usually see a Dr over here unless there’s a medical reason, so maybe that’s why? Scanning clinics are always so busy and almost always runing late, so I don’t think they have time to look for anything unnecessary!

I think a girl for Minnie, but I don’t believe she didn’t hear the ‘slip’. Also, maybe her Dr just refers to all babies as ‘he’ or ‘she’, to avoid using ‘it’?

I think that by ‘fantastic looking’ the doctor simply meant the baby looks good, healthy, etc. I don’t think he meant anything creepy by it!

I never found out what I was having (though I wanted to–but dr never saw a need to do an ultrasound unless there was a problem). But when my water broke and I went to the hospital, the dr in the triage (my dr hadn’t arrived yet) did the ultrasound to check that the baby was in the right position, and said “yup, looks good. he’s facing the right way, so we’ll go ahead with the induction.” My mom turned to him and said, “oh, so it’s a boy?” The dr stutttered and said , “umm, well, he or she. whatever it is.”

I did have a boy, 15 hours later.

reginag- Minnie got asked about that before, and she said that that guy isn’t the father. She said that he is an old friend of hers.

I wanted a birth surprize. I ended up needing a lot of ultrasounds towards the end of my pregnancy due to a breech baby. My midwife was feeling my belly one appt and mentioned “he” so I thought maybe they put the gender on one of the u/s reports and she slipped up. After I said “he?” she quickly replied that she will sometimes just spout out a gender when talking about unborn babies. This turned out true since I gave birth to a baby girl. I felt it was a girl all along as well.

reginag-

Minnie has said Craig is not the father. I do think she’s talking about him and his son in this interview though.

does this mean this “outing” of the dad is correct?

My doctor did that too. We made it all the way to our 38 week check up. It was Monday and she told us she wanted to schedule an induction for Wednesday. She then said, “Ok, so will you be circumcising (stopped and looked at her notes in my chart)…um if it’s a boy.” Yup, 2 days later we had a boy.

Is it just me or are her comments just getting strange? It seems as though the more she talks, the more things just don’t make sense.

Good luck to her, though.
