Gender Confusion Help!

Hi
I wonder if you ladies can help!
I had a scan at 15 weeks and was told boy at hospital. I already had a gender scan booked at 16 so went they said Girl!! So thinking nothing of it and thought perhaps it was to early to tell at 15 I went with the private gender scan.

At my 20 weeks scan... blow me down she said BOY! I have been given a front shot what do you guys think? Boy bits?

The round circle is the bladder look just below that :)

It’s relatively common to confuse girl scans with boys, not really the other way round. I’d be fairly sure you’re having a boy.

@User7312019 it won’t let me upload a photo.! Perhaps it’s because I’m a newbie.?! X

Very likely a boy. As pp said, it's usually more likely to be a mix up when initially told girl. I'd trust the hospital (twice!) any day over 'gender' clinics.

You have to wait a couple of days to be able to upload photos, but my view is it’s most likely a boy because it’s easier to mistake a boy for a girl than a girl for a boy, I’ve been told!

Sounds like these 'gender' scans are little more than tossing a coin.

At this stage, what does it matter, surely a healthy baby is all that matters?

YABU in sooooo many ways.

Is it a healthy baby?

If yes, excellent. That's it.

It happened to me. Was told girl, recorded as such but was so convinced I was expecting a boy, had a private scan and sure enough, they said boy. There was no mistake at this point. I gave birth to a boy.

I had my 20 week scan and was told girl, had another scan at 32 weeks and 34 weeks as baby had problems etc and again told girl. I gave birth to a boy Grin

My friend was told girl on a harmony test but then at the 20 week scan was told boy. She had a boy. I'm 35 weeks with my second and I've been told girl 3 times. NIPT test, 20 week scan and a private scan at 28 weeks. Though at the 28 week on one as the money shot son to speak. So I'm fairly confident it's a girl, I couldn't see any obvious boy bits but could definitely see the three hamburger lines
