Nope. Had a private gender with my 2nd at 16 week and they was correct at saying boy.
Had a private gender this time At 14 weeks and again they said boy and had several growth scans etc since then and everytime they tell Me he's not shy showing his bits off so again they are correct x

Not me specifically but as a HV I have been into many houses where parents excitedly told me they were having a girl for the antenatal visit, and when I go back for the new birth visit it’s a little boy instead. Quite common tbh many little boys leave the hospital with a little dress on!

One of my best friends had twins - was told a boy and a girl. She had two boys.

not exactly.... but i had my 20-week scan. The sonographer said it's a girl.
Then had another scan exactly a week later, and was told it's a boy. More scans confirmed this.
If the baby didn't have an anomaly and we hadn't had the follow-up scans, we'd be expecting a girl!

I think they can go sometimes wrong with girls as maybe boys parts aren't big enough to be seen.

When you see that's a boy usually it's a boy, boy parts are definitely distinctive. Had 3 boys so far and one girl. Knew I had a girl from 16 weeks and she definitely is a girl after being born.

With our first I bled for the first 20 weeks so had lots of extra scans. At 15 weeks they asked if we wanted to know and they told us it was a boy. Went for 20 week scan and they asked and we said we knew but happy for them to confirm.....she was quite surprised to tell us it was a girl. Went to get a colleague to double check given we’d been told something else but DD is definitely a girl so Xmas Shock Apparently it is very unusual for it to be wrong that way round.
This time we’re having another girl and I got sent for a growth scan at 32 weeks. I asked them just to double check and we had a good look and even I could see she was a girl so don’t think we’ll be having any surprises!
