Girl? Because there are three lines? That's what I remember but my youngest are 10 so it's been a while. Plus I remember they got one wrong at a scan around this stage. At 20 week scan it was clearer

If I'm looking at it right the second pic looks like it's a girl.

Looking at the second photo Our son was viewed at this angle for his gender scan and I seem to remember the shadow being much bigger between the legs for a boy.

3 lines is a girl, ur 12 week scan is also girly with the nub.

babynelly2010 · 24/02/2017 00:56

With that said I spoke to someone today who was told several times she was having a girl but a boy popped out.

harleysmammy · 24/02/2017 01:24

I had a potty shot like you have and its VERY obvious he's a boy, yours looks like a girl to me x

This was my 16 week girl gender scan picture, I was told she was absolutely certain girl because of the three white lines.

Girl for sure, I have 4 and have seen a lot of girly bits xx

Lunalovepud · 24/02/2017 08:03

I'm obviously clueless then Wink to be fair I got the sex of my own baby wrong so it's hardly surprising!

mummyrich1988 · 24/02/2017 16:04

That convinced they have got it wrong I'm going again tonight!! When I get something in my head I can't sleep lol so they are double checking tonight but another £55 down lol

That's a girl.

BobbieDog · 24/02/2017 16:47

This is the problem when you have a gender scan too early. 16 weeks is the very earliest you can tell so there is plenty of room for error.

Is there any reason why your not waiting until your 20 weeks?

TheOnlyLivingBoyinNewCork · 24/02/2017 16:48

Why would you not trust a trained sonographer who could actually see the screen and instead ask a load of randomers who can see blurry pics only?

TataEsNC · 24/02/2017 16:58

girl.
no doubt.
both my boys looked like boys...

GreenGoblin0 · 24/02/2017 18:35

what's the point of having another scan ?! will you believe them this time?

MadgeMak · 24/02/2017 18:38

What does it matter anyway? No sonographer will be able give you a 100% guaranteed it's a boy/girl anyway as there will always be a margin of error.

NameChange30 · 24/02/2017 18:38

You're going for another scan?! Hmm If you have money to burn there are charities you could donate to...

You've already wasted spent £55. Now trust the sonographer and wait until your 20 week scan to confirm.

MadameJosephine · 24/02/2017 18:42

It's difficult to call based on those images alone but I'd err on the side of girl. The sonographer probably saw more than that on the moving image though if she's so sure. Sometimes it's easier for a trained eye to see but then harder to produce a still image which is clear for the parents ifswim

I won't try to guess as I got mine wrong when she had been born..!

PuddingPie16 · 24/02/2017 22:01

There are a lot of snardy comments on here about you spending more money on private scans..blah blah blah...ignore them! It is your money and not their business. Personally, I would wait until 20 weeks if you can (just because you don't have long to wait and it is free!) But if it eases your mind then go for it.

I know of someone who is going through the exact same situation and has had her 20 week scan where they couldn't even tell her due to baby's position! She is paying for another opinion because she can.

Just do what you feel most comfortable with but don't rely on people here knowing.

Good luck in your pregnancy! Smile

mummyrich1988 · 24/02/2017 22:52

Thankyou I no I didn't really ask for people to judge me the money it cost me I could of spent on a night out drinking if I wasn't pregnant so was good money to spend to see our baby again ☺️ and got some more lovely pics and they seemed very sure it is a girl lol xx
