Hi everyone I'm just after having a 31 week scan and they told me it's a girl, but than gave me a photo and it looks like a boy to me... Any thoughts?

I would say the chances of the sonographer being correct are pretty high, but no visual assessment is totally guaranteed. I know two people who were told they were having girls and they had boys.

It's always 50/50, whether they tell you boy or girl! Never guaranteed.
Honestly, that is a daft thing to say

The rate of error for ultrasound determination of fetal sex runs at about 5%.

So, if you've been told it's a girl, there's a 95% chance of it being a girl.
