Hello ladies, I had a private sex scan at 16+1 and have the potty shot pictures, they confirmed a baby boy, we had a reveal party and everything, today I had my anomaly scan at 20+3, 2 sonographers have confirmed girl!!!
I'm so scared it will change again I don't want to buy anything
I don't know what I'm looking at on the potty shot, anyone have any ideas?!

It's not very big, not sure how well you will be able to see it x

Erm... I can’t make out a single part of those scans. Can you point out some things the sonographer did?

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 15/01/2019 19:50

What's a potty shot??

ChristmasFlary · 15/01/2019 19:51

No idea what those pictures are of!

SoyDora · 15/01/2019 19:51

I can’t make out anything on those photos either. I have 2 girls and a boy and all of their ‘potty shots’ were extremely clear as to their sex from 16 weeks.
Did the sonographer point out to you what she was seeing?

Bishalisha · 15/01/2019 19:52

A potty shot is what the view would be if a baby was sitting on a potty. Normally they’re much clearer and you can clearly see legs and genitals!

ChristmasFlary · 15/01/2019 19:52

@DrinkFeckArseGirls - I'm guessing a crass way of saying gender scan and genital area

That was from the 16+1 but we didn't see anything on the screen because we asked for it to be put in the balloon ready for when we got home, we then had an envelope for after we had popped it to see the potty shot
We explained we knew it was a boy to today's sonographer, he said no pretty sure its a girl, he then called another sonographer in and got her to scan and tell me, she was unaware of the situation and confirmed girl straight away

Ah good the word police are out protecting the posts Hmm
It is hard to see to be fair op, do you have any other pics?

CatchingBabies · 15/01/2019 19:54

1st pic looks like a girl to me, 2nd one isn’t clear enough to see genitals.

When we opened and looked at these we thought exactly the same, all of the others are so clear! I couldn't make out anything from these unless it's a different angle!
I should've asked for one from today, they did show us on the screen and we couldn't see a penis or anything between the legs
I trust the NHS anomaly scan more than the private place, I'm just so confused now!
Extremely excited though

So what did the sonographer write it down as well? I feel like I can make out a leg from the first one but nothing else. The second one to me looks like the entire baby is bunched up in the corner so probably not looking correctly. I’ve seen potty shots before where it was very clear... including my own when my DD was discovered to in fact be a DS at 20 weeks...

Potty shot Confused

There is plenty of unisex merchandise on the market.

TeamRoger · 15/01/2019 19:59

I would say girl from the pics. I've had two boys 1 girl and it was very obvious what sex they were from 16 weeks (we also had private scans).

teatwosugarspls · 15/01/2019 19:59

This happened to my friend. Call the private company and tell them and they should Give you another scan, if it turns out they were wrong you should get a refund x

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 15/01/2019 19:59

Thanks Bishalisha and ChristmasFlary!

Eatmycheese · 15/01/2019 20:02

God why does it matter if someone wants to know what sex baby they are carrying 

@lelrx I also think girl
Congrats either way

Chocolateheaven123 · 15/01/2019 20:04

Looks like an alien to me Grin

Seriously, it's a baby. It's a 50/50. Buy some white babygros and stop stressing. You'll find out when it's born.

strawberrypenguin · 15/01/2019 20:05

Can't tell from those scans sorry OP. But if 2 sonographers said girl today I'd say they are probably right.

Bishalisha · 15/01/2019 20:05

This pic... is the baby sideways (head to the right) and legs straight in the air and I’ve circled the butt? That looks like a girl if so. I can’t even tell there’s a baby in the second one... can you point out anything there???

Babies don't need different stuff depending on what sex they are

CreakyBlinder · 15/01/2019 20:10

That is a truly revolting expression.

Mind your own business, If I want to find out the sex of my baby I'm entitled to, don't open the thread to moan
