Hi :)

We had a gender scan today at 16w+1, and were told girl, but I've had no sickness and was convinced it would be a boy 😬 can anyone take a look at the potty shot and compare to their 16 week girl/boy scans please?

Symptoms don't indicate the babies sex, all old wives tales. I would trust the sonographer personally. It's very obvious when baby is a boy and your scan looks a lot my baby girls 20 week scan :)

Ive had no sickness and definitely am having a girl. Your scan looks like a girl to me (no expert though!). Congratulations :)

Haha, I've had 2 boys and absolutely awful morning sickness with both! Sickness is nothing to do with the sex of the baby.

Sickness has nothing to do with gender.

I'm expecting my third boy. All very different pregnancies, different bump shapes, different side effects, last boy stole my looks whilst I look great with this one. Chinese calendar wrong.
Symptoms definitely do not indicate the sex and on my ultrasounds there's always been a very clear and unmistakable little willy!

I've had boys and girls and had sickness for 9 months the effects of pregnancy are not due to gender.

I've been sick as a dog this time round. Was convinced it was a girl (as my previous boys were all a breeze but my previous girl I was very ill). I've had 2 scans and the harmony test. It's another boy. All this stuff is an old wives tale.

Had sickness with my boy barely any with my girl. To be honest, at 16 weeks it's very obvious when it's a boy Wink

Fern08 · 11/03/2020 21:08

Yeah I know gender isn't determined by symptoms, it's just this pregnancy has been so different to when I was pregnant with my son, and I just had this 'feeling' I was having another boy. Glad to hear the scan looks like other girls' scans, this was a private scan so I'm hoping it's accurate :)

Symptoms mean nothing! I have 3 of the same sex, first two no sickness at all. Third i had full blown hyperemsis and was bed bound for 16 weeks in hospital on a drip or at home throwing up 40 times a day lol. Looks like a girl to me :) i have 3 girls.

Hi!
Wondering if you can tell gender at 12 week ultrasound? New mom here and forgot to ask the tech what she thought.

MrsW150917 · 30/01/2021 10:19

@Fern08 that's definitely a girl!
Here was my gender scan at 18 weeks and can clearly see a decent sized scrotum (which my husband was dead proud about 😂)

Don't worry about the symptoms every pregnancy is different. Congrats on ur baby girl 🎀
