These are at 16 weeks the tech was sure 100% girl , I posted them on in gender and most people saying boy one woman in particular being very insensitive telling me to go get a refund and congratulations on my son outlining a penis on my picture. I already have 2 boys and this is my last I really was over the moon I was getting a girl now I'm so confused my 20 week scan at the hospital isn't till 11th July I don't think I can wait that long x here's the pics thank you x1932919330

Sorry to hear this :-( I personally would trust the tech more than a people who have no experience and are looking at a still shot - your tech would have been able to have much more thorough look. I can see why ladies may think boy especially with pic 1 but then on pic 2 you can clearly see the classic girl 'hamburger' ! X

Thanks tish , i could understand as we'll with pic one it was just the way it was put across like her word was final , they never even took pic 2 into concideration. I've been googling these potty shots all morning think I'll just settle for what the tech said , it was also shown in 3/4d aswell I didn't ask for potty shots these were on the disc when I got home , thanks for your reply xxx

You've brought a tear to my eye thanks so much for your reply and thanks to your hubby for having a look. I see you have 3 boys you'll understand how I feel and I'll keep my fingers crossed that you get your girl too. I don't think I'll be back to IG ☺️ Everyone on here is so nice and sensitive xx

O, wow, that must be a rollercoaster for you!
Personally i don't think a tech will say 100% if they aren't absolutely sure.

If i were you i would book another genderscan, but i don't know how much it'll cost where you live.

Good luck!

Jena Emma is usually pretty good at guessing and has experienced her own gender disappointment too so I think she doesn't like t when techs get people's hopes up for one gender and then the baby turns out to be another. I think another scan might be a good idea if you want further confirmation although I know you will probably not feel like the outcome is real until you hold your baby in your arms. Especially after two boys of this is your much longer for little girl. Good luck hun and please keep us updated xx

Mulberry Smurf

I think her annoyance is with the tech tbh, she doesn't like seeing people being given incorrect information. I hope she's wrong on this one though and that's your girl xx

I can see how the first one may look boy but if you exam the pic it is at a bad angle. The baby is not "mooning" you and is at an angle. But if you look at the tip it is very small and that could be the last of the "girl parts" going into position, my cuz says thats why gender is not guessed until after 18wks. (my cuz is a US tech and has 4 girls of his own, no boys yet) If pic 1 was at a better angle it would be a great classic hamburger.

Pic 2... My DS3 had 3 dots form in a triangle and I had some saying boy and some saying girl. After lots of research I noticed boys=triangle and girl=2-3dots in a line. You have 2 dots in a line but if the line in the middle would have shown up as a dot it would still be in a straight line with the others.

I am pretty sure your next US will say girl!

The unfortunate truth is though, that techs DO make mistakes and they're not all good. As a general rule I agree that it's usually best to trust the tech who sees stuff for 30 min. vs. a picture posted online. That having been said, I don't want to see you set up for heartbreak either so always keep it in the back of your mind that even with 100% it's a ... there is always the possibility for an opposite. (I'm not basing that on the pics, because I am not an ultrasound expert in any way - just generally good advice)

We have had the occasional tale of woe here where people were told one gender, even quite far along into gestation like 20 weeks or so, only to find out that they were having the other. A few of these even ended up in the delivery room before finding out!

I did not find Jena's response rude or insensitive, she was just trying to illustrate to you how seriously she was taking what she perceived as an inexcusable mistake. (and again, I have no clue if she's right or wrong) Sometimes those of us who answer a ton of questions every day have less time for sugarcoating and end up bit more of "straight shooters". I don't think she meant anything by it and she was trying to help you.

So - guard your heart but feel optimistic.

That's not what my 2 boys looked like at all. I can't really tell what's going on in these pics so I won't venture a guess, but I'd trust the tech as it's her job and live video is so much better. But no ultrasound is 100% so I would try, as hard as it is to wait, to your 20 week and see what they say then.

carmella_marie
June 13th, 2014, 05:28 PM
FWIW I thought that lady's reply on IG was very insensitive. She shouldn't talk that way about a us tech she knows nothing about, and that "penis" she drew could be umbilical cord or something else, who knows from the angle, (yes maybe a penis) but just as a tech shouldn't say 100 % girl neither should a rude lady on a website based off one pic! She could have made her point more gracefully.

June 13th, 2014, 07:38 PM
I actually think the reply was unnecessarily blunt too. The pictures don't look obviously boy or girl, certainly not like the last boy potty shot I got but then I wander if she was taking your nub shot into consideration too which although not entirely clear does lean boy. I think you need that scan. Good luck and I hope u get your dg, I know how hard hearing boy 3 is.

I have 3 boys and due a baby girl in July:) I honestly think that ur scan pics looks like a boy but everyone can be wrong. Techs can and quite often do get gender wrong so I would ask for a re scan. It would be awful if u bought all girly stuff and had a boy xxx


Mammy to 3 beautiful boys & a princess due in July:)

June 14th, 2014, 10:49 AM
Ok I'm not an ultrasound tech and can't even tell what I'm looking at in the first pic. But the second pic does not look like a boy to me at all. And as for that lady's comment, you can play connect the dots and make a picture you want to see.... Ppl do that with the stars. Anyway the point is it could be a boy and I totally understand you getting another scan with so much contradiction coming in but I really think you have your girl. My fx for you and plz update us!

IMO your second pic looks a lot like my ds2 pic. I'm not a tech and hope I'm wrong. I also think you should get a rescan.

If you go onto IG you'll see the post my user name is the same , the hassle. I've got from is terrible but there saying it's me with the problem and I'm rude and in denial thanks for the replys I have got an open mind about the gender but there all got the final word probably won't believe me if I did get my girl potty shot lol xxx

Yes it does make a diff. I was wondering for multible times if that's what I saw. This just isn't a good pottyshot. and If I paid for a genderscan. and she say 100% girl I want a good potty shot!

Nahri
June 14th, 2014, 12:29 PM
I was hoping for a girl my first time around and was very disappointed with when I was told a boy. The shots were so jacked up that I showed them to other technicians and they told me even I cant tell what that is!!! A friend ended up getting me a gift certificate at an ultrasound studio which allowed us to get a 10 minute DVD video and like 40 some odd pictures. If this is an option in your area and also finance wise it may be worth looking into. The equipment is of way higher quality than most hospitals and therewas no mistaking what was seen! I now have a video of my boy trying to kiss the ultrasound probe and that helped me make peace the last few months. The photos I have of his face from this ultrasound are even better. But with this kind of clarity there is no mistake! 19348

That is probably the case, but I'm just saying from my perspective it can sometimes be hard to be the one doing the posts - if you do it day in and out it is possible to lose some perspective on how your posts are coming off. We all have off days and off minutes now and then, and if she really truly thought a tech was giving terible info to someone, she was annoyed at the tech, not the poster. I know occasionally people think something I wrote was harsh but that isn't necessarily my intention OR there may have been something going on behind the scenes that the average poster is not privy to (such as things that may have occured via PM and stuff like that.)

Laurie, I checked over at IG, I really think they had good intentions and everything got out of control. They have always been nice in the ultrasound room, so i think tensions just got high. Please get another scan, it will help put your mind at ease. I do think one picture looks boyish and the other looks girl, so I am not help. I hope you hear pink at your next scan so you can put this all behind you.

Laurie1161
June 14th, 2014, 01:41 PM
Also the baby was being a bit awkward and wasn't moving much either, I've got a few 4d pics but I can't see anything apart from the cord and belly button , I would be fine with another boy would be a good friend for my 9 month old boy and we were wanting another one in a few years one woman actually said she felt sorry for my son as I am denying him , just cruel. I never really knew about potty shots till I got home and seen them on the disc then I started googling them . I'll be asking for a good shot in 2 weeks xx

kaseybaby
June 14th, 2014, 01:43 PM

I was told to show my pictures to someone called turtle over at baby centre I think she is a us tech , says images are too dark to see details , 2 week wait till next scan reminds me of ttc lol torture , I'll be happy what ever the outcome now the shock has came and gone glad I didn't buy any pink yet , x

Just stay over here at Gender Dreaming! Everyone here has been so nice to me. I had some rude posts over on IG a few years back so I dont go there anymore.

I know atomic said in an earlier post on this thread that it's hard when you're replying to posts all day to always come across well, but I have never been offended by anything AS has said or seen anything overly harsh she has said to anyone else. She tells it straight sure, but doesn't attack other people like the IG lady did to the US tech, and I greatly appreciate her for it.

June 14th, 2014, 06:54 PM
Did you get a video? If so could you post that? It is really hard to say what is going on from the uls pictures... I don't think it is clear either way. I would like to think that if an uls tech told you girl 100% that they would have given you a better potty shot. On the other hand I don't think that is a clear boy shot either.

Laurie1161
June 14th, 2014, 06:58 PM
No sorry just those 2 pics I didn't ask for potty shots wasn't till I got home I saw them and started looking at everyone els , lots of pics of his or her face though in 4d I'll post one maybe you's will see something I don't xxx

June 15th, 2014, 12:08 AM
Just think it is weird that they didn't give you a clearer potty shot than that. I have had two 15 week gender scans and they give you a very clear potty shot as that is what you are there for. Glad the place is letting you come back in two weeks but that is going to feel like forever. Please update when you have the second scan done. Until then I hope you can relax and think about something else. I also hope you hear girl and get a great potty shot and post it on IG:)

Wow, those are tough shots! I happened to read some of your posts at IG and there was one person who responded to you about the tech only being a couple of weeks into school and her first day on the job or something! I agree with what everyone here has said about the techs seeing it live and doing this all time time, however, if it was a newbie tech like that girl got I would guard your heart. Do you know how long the person scanning you had been doing scans? Can you request a different person to be safe when you have your next scan? I want you to hear girl and leave 100% certain! :)

nuthinbutpink
June 15th, 2014, 06:14 PM
No matter what anyone says on any Internet site, you need another scan. IMO, these images aren't clear and could go either way. My u/s was obvious with my son and with my daughters. Obviously, this one is not obvious. I can see how it could be both a boy and a girl. I do think I see cord in the top pic- the three lines floating up about the bump.

A lot depends on the u/s machine, your weight and how much water you have drank the week leading up to the scan as to clarity. Just go get another scan and let go of the debate. It's just not worth the drama.

Laurie1161
June 16th, 2014, 02:51 AM
Turtle said the scan pictures were too dark to see details, but said looked more boy than girl . The scanning company asked me to wait 2 weeks and they would have me back in but I think ill phone and ask to be seen this week . I know it was a different woman who done an early scan for me than my gender one , my early scans aren't the best of quality either but the scanning place is very popular in glasgow. Xx

Yikes me too!! They said they don't do potty shots. I got a free rescan a week after my initial one because i emailed them regarding not having a potty shot. Both my techs were sure I'm having a girl. The 2nd tech spent a bit more time showing me the clitoris and labia. Along with my harmony results I'm *just* about convinced I'm having a girl. Still a bit nervous about my 20 week scan tho ;) good luck!! Xx

It was an older woman with an accent, but don't think it was Irish, I'll need to ask dh. Rescan was a younger, quite bubbly lady, but Scottish. Was it the Irish woman who did your rescan today?

I cant believe this happened. Or why the first sonographer didn't just get you back for a rescan. They told me they only say if they're sure or its a free rescan. There was a couple in when i went for my rescan who were told 80% girl, but were coming back in 2 weeks for confirmation.

DS2 and DS3 were very obvious boy at 16 weeks.

(((Hugs)))

Laurie1161
June 22nd, 2014, 10:23 AM
The womN that told me girl was the young bubbly Scottish one , this woman I had today needed help to use the computer at the start ... I'm sure she had a Irish twang some sort of twang anyway . She said baby had it's legs closed and thought girl right away then fiddled about amd said boy for one image girl for the other , sent me away for half hour told me to drink something sugary , went back and it was quite busy she took one look and said yep sorry it's a boy there's the penis but I didn't see anything I just wanted to come home to be honest wish I just never bothered finding out lol wasn't this awkward with my sons scans xx

I'm a lot more relaxed about it now to be honest , i was expecting boy right up until that 16 week gender scan it will be great having a boy for my 9 month old son and I'm only 25 so plenty of time to have more wee ones (touch wood I stay lucky) . Xx

Based on the nub shots, and that one weird "could be a penis" shot, and today, I would go forth believing boy, and if at 20 weeks you hear girl get the surprise of your life. I am so sorry they did this to you. I certainly hope the woman who gave you the girl the first time had to review what to look for in ultrasounds, because this is completely unacceptable. Hugs to you.

I said the same thing to them! Wish I'd gone to babybond again like I did with my 2nd and 3rd pregnancies. Plus I'd have left with a little pink bag, instead of the blue bag I got the other 2 times. It was half the price of babybond tho and I wanted the hd live peak. I really hope our babies cooperate at the 20 week scan :) xx ps hope you stay on here now. Have you updated ig post?

No they banned me from the site because wan who's on here who's on there told one of the girls I was bad mouthing her etc I never said anything on here that I didn't say to her over there , so I'll not even attempt it lol xx

I'd have negotiated a free hd live scan, least they could do!!
Getting banned is a bit harsh :( Did you do an ig sway? The girls here are lovely :) We all know how frustrated and disappointed you must feel with all the uncertainty. Being told you were having your dd and then not is pretty devastating. You sound quite positive which is a credit to you!
I'm close to Motherwell but didn't know they had a scan place. I went to Livingston babybond before for gender scans. Also been to babes in the womb in Edinburgh and another place in Stirling. Well travelled :) xx

I struggle to make out all the short ways to write things and the wee pictures I'll need to learn lol . I told dh we will do the special diets etc and have our last when were in our early 30s he would love a girl it's all boys on his side .

Oh gosh! I was sorry to read this waking up this morning - especially after I already said go buy pink! You are taking it all so graciously though! I can't believe there is still so much uncertainty. Ultrasound isn't 100% obviously but this is going like a 50/50 ball game. Big hugs! In all honesty I was such a blubbering mess after I found out about DS3. But he is the coolest little dude! That's him in my avatar. :). I thought I was getting another one the same but he is so different to his brothers. He was 2.7kg born at 41 weeks, and still so small for his age and he has such a cheeky little personality now! He's 13 months and he dances and plays peek a boo, and blows raspberries on any bare skin he can find. I honestly love being a Mum of 3 little boys and I'm sure you will too :) or whatever it turns out to be in the end! Hang around here and maybe you could do a sway next time. My dream used to be 2 girls and 2 boys. Now it's 3 boys with a little sister :). I'm more excited about this one anyway xxx

Thanks covered in blue , I have woke up this morning though feeling a little different like lost in a way . That's cute about your boy x he sounds lots of fun reminds me of my 9 month old the way you described him x I love my sons my oldest is 8 and thinks he's too cool for everything and this little man just makes me laugh constantly he follows me around saying my mama , I love him so much he was my gift from the angels when I lost my mum . You know when I found out I was pregnant again I prayed everyday to my mum "let it be a girl plz plz" and then to be told girl to be told boy how unlucky is that I'm blessed to be able to have babies but I mean the situation this time has been so rubbish it's like someone is messing with my head for fun. Everyone els sounded really disapointed when I told them boy it's all boys on both sides no grand daughters yet , I'm really not thinking straight this morning is there still hope for pink ? Xxx

Just wanted to say I know deep down it probably is a boy, I'm not getting my hopes up , just so strange to be told girl and I feel like it's different this time , I'm carrying differently , with my boys I was eating every bad food in site this time I'm wanting fruit and craving coleslaw lol , the heart rate was 162bpm last week (I know that can be old wife's tale) I'm a lot more emotional , moody , just so sad everything was pointing towards girl then Sunday did shock me a little if I'm honest , my dh keeps saying he thinks she just said boy because she didn't know herself just to prepare us , it's not helping me at all , says he isn't buying anything till the baby is born ( just hope he's not secretly still thinking it's a girl) I don't wanna keep going on , the baby wasn't playing ball and had legs shut for most of it just that doubt about was it at a bad angel the woman didn't seem very good at her job , I'm just not gonna be able to settle till the hospital tell me boy. Keep looking at ds2 scan and new baby's scan they look so different , different shaped heads . If I ever have anymore I'm staying green it really is torcher xxx

I feel like as times passing I'm getting a bit down I felt so positive about it on Sunday , I don't know if I was just putting on my brave face for dh and ds1 , ds1 so wanted a sister , he's such an emotional wee boy. I'm going to the royal for my scan it's on the 11th , agesssss away. I had it all planned on Sunday we were gonna go shopping for pink snow suits and winter clothes because there all on sale now , least I've got lots left over from ds2 lol xxx did you wait long for your harmony test ? You must have been so nervous and excited at the same time when you got your results and you've had it confirmed by scan too which is a lot of reassurance. To be honest the woman that scanned you seemed to know more about what she was doing at my 16 week one than the one I saw on Sunday , just think it must be a boy she must have saw bits she said girlie bits wouldn't be swollen at 18 weeks but I heard they can be xxx

What can you distract yourself with for the next couple of weeks? Do you know how to knit? lol. My motto is "fake it till you make it" lately and it seems to help for me. If you can start trying to love the idea of another boy then if it changes again it will just be a bonus.

I know what you mean about being more protective my mil didn't speak to me and dh for the whole 9 months of my pregnancy with ds2 then turned up at my house the day I got out with presents and money then stopped talking to us again 2 weeks later because there family live quite far away and we hadn't been to visit mil - mum and dad but I had stitches and couldn't sit in the car for too long , never spoke to us or seen the children for 8 weeks :nono:

Oh those DS3s! They are heart stealers for sure :). I'm super protective of my DS3 too. For almost the first year of his life I've been full up just with him. Only now that he is 1 that my dream of having a girl has resurfaced. It gets easier though. If you can keep the two issues a bit separate then it seems to be a bit easier. Like yes I have this dream to have a little girl, but I can fit this little boy into the plan. He's a bonus baby. Obviously he's meant to be here :)

I was talking to DH about these images again last night actually. He was saying how it's possible to make a boy look like a girl if the settings aren't quite right. Also the angles can make things look elongated or shortened etc. Definitely don't think it's as simple as they make out on IG. Especially before 20 weeks.

Yes hopeful it seems the girls on IG were right at this stage. There was a 50/50 chance they would be anyway. The images have been flogged already though and I think many people have given their opinions. Trolling to make yourself feel good isn't what we are about here. If you would like to join this supportive community to help plan your sway, or get support for high tech then go ahead. If you just want to get in a plug for IG then then go do that on the IG forms.

Thanks for your reply , the lady's on here have helped me through this difficult time , everyone of them have been very supportive and kind!!!. And even the ones who thought boy with my scan were very sensitive about it. I don't know how many others have had this experience with the company but the people I know have had correct gender from them , I must just be the unlucky one . I'm putting it down to a bad experience and if I ever want to find out the gender with other babies I will be waiting till 20 weeks.

Fair enough, I'll be honest I am a member on ingender, I've come here as my identity is well know and rather then be hounded for guesses as can happen- in the nicest possible way, I appreciate people are desperate to know. I wanted to talk with people about my plans and worries etc without it just being oh sorry but can you take a look...... A little escape if my own if you will
I do have a lot of respect for the ladies there and they are very good at what they do, however I've not seen your post there so can't comment on that.
Again I wish you the very best, I strongly advise though that you write a review about the place you went to as it really is unacceptable and to not offer "potty" shots just sounds unreal to me? That's the whole point of the visit to get confirmed gender. I hope it can be put to rest at your 20wk scan and you can enjoy the rest of your pregnancy, you do have beautiful sons

I don't know if you saw the other lady's comment on here , who went to the same place as me in glasgow and didn't get any potty shots and they told her the same thing but gave her a rescan. My aunt was in in Sunday for the gender scan and she never got any either. They claim to be 97% accurate, I know mistakes scan happen it's not the mistake that's upset me it's the techs saying oh I'm not allowed to say 100% but yes I'm very certain after me telling her I thought it was a boy and asking her to check and check . We can't trust any tech now after this , my dh said he won't even trust the hospital tech. I think I'll do a bit of research to find out if anyone els has had this trouble with them.

I'm very aware that DH was wrong and I do feel bad about that. I never ask him anyway. I like to guess myself, but this time I did. People are human you know. They make mistakes but I've apologized and also I've stuck around and tried to be supportive. Hindsight is a wonderful thing you know xxx

Covered in blue - I think from the sounds of the rescan, that this baby isn't wanting to reveal gender and is a hard one to call, even for the tech doing the live scan (if I read it right even at the rescan they thought girl initially - but Laurie didn't rate this tech at all) xx

Baby still had legs closed , but the place started getting really busy and she said yeh look testies penis and stopped the scan quick. I had boy nub shots though so I do think it is a boy. I'm just wondering if the legs were closed and at a bad angle what actually would be seen ? Xxx

Not that i can tell anything from your scan pics. But i don't think the scan lady was all that convincing either way. :( Just me though!! Xx

It is not uncommon to not to get potty shots. Here where I live, Alberta, Canada...the medical techs ARE NOT ALLOWED to give potty shots. So I really didn't appreciate when people at IG were saying that Laurie looked bad for not providing potty shots, because some places just don't do it. Period. If we want potty shots here, we have to pay at a private scan place to get them...I know that is where Laurie went, but they could have the same rules there that our medical techs here have. It is not a far fetched concept.

I have heard of many people causing a miscarriage because of potty shots... once they can really confirm it is not what they want. Also some places don't even tell you a gender or let you look in that area because of the dangerous ways ladies try to end a preg.

One of my cousins has 4 girls and with the last one the Dr's refused to show her down there. She was so depressed with #3 they thought she would do something with #4. After she had the baby she was very sad but seems to be ok now. I think she is planning to go to a clinic to try for a boy soon.

I never even heard of potty shots till my aunt told me about the nub theory and to post my 12 week us on here and ig , there's still a bit of my heart saying c'mon it's gotta be a girl , I said before my mum passed last year a month before ds2 was born , she had a brain tumour and major surgery and wasn't the same after her op , we were very close and when I told her ds2 was a boy she kept saying no no it's a girl I want you to have a girl ( it was the illness speaking not her) so when I found out I was pregnant again in march I prayed every day give me a girl mum , I even had a dream my mum woke up in her hospital bed touched my face and said "aww my lassy" (lassy in Scotland means girl) and then I had a dream I gave birth and looked at my baby and said "aww my lassie" then I found out it was a girl I was just so overjoyed and couldn't believe it. How could I be so lucky to get the girl I asked for then within a week it all changed can you see why there's still a part of me thinking nah it's gotta be a girl , When I got very unconvincingly boy I was diss appointed but not in my heart , I'm still excited about my baby I'm still happy to be pregnant, I do understand that some people take GD really bad but I've never known of anyone wanting to hurt their baby by it , I just think babies are a blessing boy or girl , my mum tried for 7 years to concive my brother she was worried I would have the same problem , dh just needs to look at me and I'm pregnant and I know I am very lucky for that and thankfull xxx

Lol at your dh!! We're not to far off that (except when doing lime douches etc on ig!). Its so sad about your mum passing, and what being told girl represented for you. You're a strong girl not letting that drag you down into the clutches of gd :)
I was annoyed at the scan place for not doing potty shots, and told them as much, its kinda what i paid for!!! So i can vouch for Laurie as we both went to the same place!!! THEY DON'T DO POTTY SHOTS! Even at my rescan when she had it on screen she didn't save me one. Although we took a video on my phone and i can take stills from that when i get nervous. As I've said, I'm so thankful it was only to back up my +99% girl result of my harmony dna test or I'd be paying again to go to babybond for confirmation.

I was in baby bond website last night ready to book for Saturday but just a silly moment , I'm glad you had your harmony DNA mrs ! I wouldn't want anyone els to worry just because this happend to me , my aunts 23 weeks with a girl and the woman got that right but said at 23 it was hard to determine the sex than what it would be at 20 weeks? Found that strange too that she had said that. They had my potty shots saves from 16 weeks cos the woman looked back at them xxx

I'll just clarify as reading these posts I'm not sure whether I made myself clear

I do not doubt they don't do potty shots- laurie explained they didn't and I saw that others hadn't that had visited the same place, ( I appreciate she just found the originals on the disc)I just find that so bizarre. Ofcourse at the medical 29wk scan I would t expect it, that's not the reason for that visit and many will not tell you or even look. My shock is at a place that the whole point of visiting is for gender determination, just makes me wonder if they've been wrong a lot? Why not provide the most obvious thing, it's not like they havnt allready told the customer what it is whether it is the gender they wanted or not, I've just never heard of it that is all and makes me suspicious - of the place
I'll leave it as that as whatever I'm replying with seems to be taken out of context

I didn't realise til I'd had my scan that they didn't do potty shots. I was wondering if I'd spent too much time online expecting one, but ended up contacting them about it and they offered a rescan. I was happy enough .. Until Laurie's story cane to light!! X

FWIW, it is really common for private UK scanning places not to offer potty shots. It is not standard practice here been for a gender scan or any other type of scan. Don't know why but it was the same response I had and I live a long way from Scotland! X

Hey all , I emailed a different scanning company today asking if they provide potty shots with their gender scan and a lovely woman emailed back saying if I request pictures of the baby's sex they will be happy to provide them , I'm so tempted to get it done I don't know what to do help!! I'm really annoyed because I know that other company have my potty shots on computer! All they need to do is email me them what the heck is their problem :nono:

I would go, you got a refund from the other place, i couldn't take the uncertainty. If baby "misbehaves" at 20 week scan you're still in limbo land and holding onto that bit of hope xx

Mrs I have just lost it and sent baby scanning another email complaining telling them I WANT those shots I know they keep them on file because my other ones were there. I'll need to speak to dh because he doesn't want me going back to one of the private company's and telling me to wait till my 20 week. Xxx

Did you manage to see if they had your shots from your previous scan mrs? I must sound like a crazy person , just really want those shots :hair: Xx

What's the other company you're thinking of going to?
I've just left it that they confirmed my harmony result. Hopefully baby will flash us on Monday!! I videoed on my phone both scans so that helped me have some faith too.
I think you need some closure and it takes the focus off gender come your 20 week scan if you get a gender scan first xx

Baby well being in Hamilton , and abc Motherwell , I know cos it's 2 weeks today till my 20 week and it's a long wait . I didn't think they would have let you video or we could have done that x your scans flew in I remember when you said your scan was in 2 weeks lol that was quick. My dh just totally doesn't get any of this he thinks I'm moaning constantly , was in tears last night he just don't understand xx

If you feel like having another scan before your 20 week will calm you then I think you should do it. BUT if they say boy at another scan or you get the shots and it really looks like it, I would believe it. The stress can't be good for you, and I get why you are questioning everything. I really do feel awful this happened to you.

Laurie1161
June 27th, 2014, 01:47 PM
I've always said if my next scan sees boy I'll believe it and if I get told girl I'll be buying white lol just that company really getting on my nerves one potty shot is all I'm asking for , I feel silly and selfish for going on about this so much kasey it's more if an annoyance than a being upset x

They SHOULD give you the shot. They messed up! How are you suppose to go forward with any confidence without a potty shot. It is a ridiculous rule, and if they don't want to give it to you, then you should be able to go in there and look at the shot yourself and take a picture with your camera phone

Laurie1161
June 27th, 2014, 02:38 PM
I wrote on my email I wanted a response in writing via email and that woman tried to call , I'm better at being forward in writing than on the phone and last time she called my emotions got the better of me and I just said ok . I told her on the email other company's in glasgow offer potty shots etc and that I have family and friends going to their clinic , said u wouldn't be recommending them again and suggest they put on their site that they don't give pictures of the baby's sex .

I was the same as you in the 2 weeks from the harmony to the scan, then another week to the rescan, all because i just couldn't believe it was a girl. I do think you need someone to confidently tell you the gender of your baby once and for all. Its probably a boy, but probably doesn't cut it after thinking it was a girl initially. Tell your dh if he wants you to stop "going on!!" to agree to a scan to put your mind at rest! Xx
