Private gender scan? Yes or no?

[ALittleBitWorried1983]

I'm 16 weeks today and thinking of getting an early gender scan in the next week simply because I'm impatient and also the place I'd like to does a really nice gender package. I'm also moving in two weeks so would like to be able to make a start on the nursery.

However I know there's not a 100% guarantee even though the place says they're 99.8% accurate. So I'm a bit worried I'd go and they'd say it's one sex and then it end up being the other!

Anyone got any advice on whether it's worth it or if I should just wait? Or have any experience positive negative?

The gender package includes: gender confirmation, digial photos, physical photos, a 4d peek, a teddy bear with the heartbeat in it and a gender reveal box - think it sounds really nice!

I'm a bit impatient and will be 16 weeks on Sunday. I have my gender scan booked for Monday - I'll be 16+1. I say go for it!

UPDATE:

I went for my scan, it was AMAZING and well worth the money! I even got a teddy elephant with my baby's heartbeat in it! I'm having a little boy!

Jesus wept someone’s had their corn flakes shat in this morning.

Anyhoo.. I’ve had two private “gender” scans, simply because I wanted to, our area have strict rules of one person per scan and we won’t tell you the sex of the baby at 20weeks. So it meant I could take dm, dp, Dgm and their was space for mil too. My dgm had never seen a moving ultrasound (she’d only seen printed images and heard my cousins heartbeat on a Doppler 16years ago) so to her it was magical seeing him wiggle about, it took her a bit to work out the 4d as the sonographer had zoomed in from full body to head level. So far one of the scans was 100% right.. he’s 7months old and I’ve changed enough nappies to say he’s a boy. Number twos cooking but again.. even on the ultrasound you know what a penis looks like, maybe little girls are harder to see?

And if it interests anyone our nursery’s are white n grey, ds’s is dumbo stuff I’d wanted from 12weeks. And I’ve not picked up “decor” for number two yet but I’ll probably go with something similar until they can choose a theme when they’re older rather than spending loads on something for a short time.

Great news @ALittleBitWorried1983
I'm glad it went so well and you enjoyed the scan. Congratulations
