I went to BabyBond for a scan at 16 weeks. The sonographer said he thought it looked like a boy (I could def see something there between the legs too) but he also said sometimes its not too clear at 16 weeks so could we come back in a week to confirm.
I didnt really get why we needed to go back as it seemed clear to me, but went back at 17 weeks as requested.
At the second scan the same sonographer said it is a girl! Apparently the 'something' we could see at 16 weeks was swelling of the girl bits due to hormones.
I'm not sure whether to be convinced or not!! A couple of people have said 'well he thought it was a boy last week, how can he be sure this week that its a girl, it might be different again next time' etc
Is it a common thing to see the swelling of girls bits?
How accurate are these gender scans do you think?

Has anyone had a private gender scan at 16/17 weeks and how accurate do you think it is??
