If I got two different results I would have to have a gender scan done to confirm it. It's hard to know who is right or wrong as they know better than us and we can't really tell like they can. Get another scan to put ur mind at rest.

You need a good machine.. can you get a private scan at a decent place?
Can you post any pictures for us?

its hard to tell it could have been cord in the first shot or unclear view in the second. the only way to know is another scan. techs can of course be wrong and one of them is, in our hospital they have a news paper clipping of parents told girl but babe was a boy and a note saying they look if parents request it but the ultra sounds aren't done for gender purposes and they can be wrong (not very common though)

The tech could be wrong, but the further along you are the more accurate it should be.
