Being incredibly impatient, I've booked myself a private gender scan this weekend! I'm excited, but also worried that I won't be able to trust it! Has anyone else had one, and were then proved right at 20 weeks?

Hello!

I went for one bang on 16 weeks - they told 80% a boy, but asked to come back the next week to confirm when baby was a bit bigger. She's a girl!! Sex was confirmed again at 20 week scan.

Her wee bits were still too swollen. If they cant tell for definate, they should get you back at a later date to confirm.

Go for it! If nothing else, its another opportunity to see baby.

Hello, I had one, as I was really stressed out and also wanted to check all was OK as well as finding out the gender (no patience here either!), and they were able to tell quite easily it was a wee boy - this was backed up by the 20 week scan too Smile I was really glad I did it.

Hello. I had a gender scan at 16 weeks as was too impatient to wait. Was told I was having a boy which was confirmed at later NHS scan. Was a lovely opportunity to see my baby again.
