Was your doctor wrong about the gender of your baby?

I'm just curious how many people had their doctor tell them they were having a boy or girl on the ultrasound, then were surprised when they delivered the opposite sex. This hasn't happened to me, but it has happened to someone I know and I want to see how common it is or isn't.

They were right about my baby, they told me at 20 weeks she was a girl, and she was. Turns out she was lying on her back with her legs spread (very ladylike) so they were sure. I can't remember which way it is, but one of the sex's is more prone to error, as in, its more likely that a mistake is made with the gender (i think it may be girl??)

They told me at 24 weeks 80 percent chance she was a girl but couldn't be completely confident because she was breech....however 3 more ultrasounds still breech and still felt it was a girl....and I ended having my daughter.

My doctor swore it was a girl at my 20 week visit, but then i had to go to an ultrasound specialist and she definately saw a penis. the NEXT time i got an ultrasound at my doctor's he said it was a girl again. I have a big 1 year old BOY now! haha...the ultrasound tech. laughed when i told her he said it was a girl, she said "Doctor's don't know, they just look at these things to see if a baby's in there".
