Hi, we had a private gender scan at 16 weeks that confirmed girl what do you guys think? Is it possible that they could be wrong?

Oh thank you! Yes they really do look similar I keep thinking it's not true after wanting a girl for so long :)

I had a scan at 17 weeks for my DS and it looked quite different to your picture, so I would say girl too!

Sex not gender.

Thank you not long before my 20 week scan but I'm so inpatient 😂

Referred as gender as my private scan was called "gender scan"

Sex not gender.

Sex is an extremely good predictor of gender. While there's not a 100% correlation, there's certainly a good enough one that private scan clinics can legitimately say they're giving you an indication of the gender.
