Sometimes they are done too soon, before the male private parts are fully in display. So, usually the error is that "you're having a girl" only to find out later that it's a boy, not the other way around. Once they see the boy's privates, they know for sure! It is the lack of seeing a boy's protrusion that leads to the conclusion that it is a girl, although there is a way to confirm that it IS a girl if you get a REALLY good view of between the legs.

No. They are dependant on the baby's developmental stage and position and the best guesstimate of the person viewing it.
They told me my second son was a girl up until 3 days before birth, simply because his "boyparts" were in shadow. A coworker had the same thing happen - except she didn't find out until the delivery that her baby girl was a boy - and she already had the room painted pink and purple!

NO they are never 100% accurate. I know the doctors have always told me the percentage... like its 80% a girl etc. But no doctor will ever tell you 100%

No. It all depends on the position of the baby and the experience of the doctor or technician performing the test, not the actual ultrasound.

Nothing's 100% accurate, but it's pretty darn close. It's best to do it later on in the pregnancy since it might be difficult to view the sex earlier if you know what I mean.

No they arent. There have been several occasions when parents thought they were having a certain gender and it turned out to be the wrong gender. It happens more frequently with females. It is harder to determine because there is nothing there to really see. Some parents thought they were going to have a girl but then, surprise, out popped a boy! You can have a blood test to determine the actual sex.

No they aren't. My friend's mother was told she was going to have a boy. Well, turns out it was a girl. It is fairly accurate but the only way to be 100% sure (prior to the child's birth) is an amniocentesis.

Absolutely not! I believe the only 100% accurate test is blood work, which insurance usually does not pay for.

No, only 70-80% from what I've heard. Also depends on how experienced the doctor or sonographer is.
