4D scans

4D scans, did you have one? Are they worth it? Been thinking about it for a while now but my partner isn’t keen as he thinks they’re ‘creepy’ 😂

Growth Scans

It’s my first pregnancy and now 29 weeks, when do I start having growth scans? I’m just really curious and eager to know how my baby is doing or growing okay.

Is anyone else’s baby measuring small?

They believe baby is just constitutionally small (which just means she’s a small baby) have a growth scan at 28 weeks. Has anyone been through this before or going through it? Picture in comments of her measurements vs what they should be. She isn’t majorly on the smaller side, but they said she is below the 10th ...

Should I be concerned?

I had a growth growth ultrasound on Monday. Everything looks great, but every growth ultrasound I've had they say she is under weight. I was 31w and 5d her weight was 3lbs and 12ozs. The Dr said she was coming at 30w and 6d. Should I be worried? My first was a big baby (9lbs and 12ozs) so I just worry.
