Has a gender scan ever been wrong for you?

Morning All,
I had an early gender scan yesterday evening at 14 weeks (exact) to determine the sex of my baby!
I kept feeling it would be a girl, all my symptoms were pointing in this direction but they told me it was a boy! Over the moon, just not the news I expected tbh! So I was wondering has anybody here had a gender scan that was wrong?
(Baby likes to stay in one position so I had to do a lot of wriggling about, go for a walk and empty my bladder before sonographer could determine)
The sonographer said she 'was happy' with her decision before she handed us the envelope!
Thanks xx

14 weeks is really early. I couldn't get a gender scan until 16 weeks. Boys are usually pretty easy to determine though, my boy was obviously that at 16+6

Ive been told the wrong gender with my little one. I was told a girl at my 20 week scan, told everyone and even had a name ready. Started buying pink clothes etc. I then had growth scans at 32 & 36 weeks.

The sonographer at my 32 week scan asked if we knew the sex & when we said its a girl, she was shocked and said she thought it was a boy. She went & got someone else who also said boy.

My 36 week scan, i asked them if they could give me their opinion. They also said boy and little one decided to move just at that point and we seen his bits. I gave birth 3 and half weeks ago and it was a boy.

We were happy with either as it was our first baby and absolutely in love with him now. Just went and got some different clothes as we didnt want him wearing pink stuff for the first six months.
