We've just had our 12 week scan so we've been able to tell everyone now (yay!!! Best feeling!) but people have been asking if we are going to find out the gender. I'm in two minds!! What are you guys planning- are you wanting to find out the gender or keep it as a surprise? X
Has anyone had a fundal height measuring a good 5/6 weeks ahead and still managed to have an average sized baby? I’ve been referred for the GD glucose test and was already under a consultant for endo so they’ve been alerted and may book in an earlier growth scan. For reference this was at my 24 week midwife app an...
I’ve been for a private scan today and been told there is no heartbeat. I am due to fly Thursday but the early pregnancy team can’t book me in for a scan to confirm missed miscarriage till Thursday (when I fly) and have advised me not to fly in case I start bleeding whilst away. Just after peoples opinions on what ...
Have my 20 week scan tomorrow and for some reason I am so nervous. Feel baby move all the time but still so scared 😅
Hi everyone, I’ve known I’ve had a low lying placenta since around 15weeks or so. They said it should move and enable me to have a vaginal birth. Sadly today at my 36wks scan it hasn’t moved and I’ve been told we need to be cautious as baby is head down and nearing the placenta and if he engages it could cause me t...
I’m 36 weeks and had my growth scan today. My baby boys head is measuring 40 weeks and his stomach is 41 weeks. His estimated current weight is 9lbs 3oz. My daughter was born at 40 weeks weighing 9lbs 3oz and at the 36 week scan she was estimated 7lbs 5oz. So I’m Terrified!!!! Of course my doctor didn’t get back to...
What normally happens at a 16 week appointment, I know there’s no scan but am just wondering what sort of things to expect😂🥲xx
I’ve been going every two weeks for an ultrasound because baby has been hanging around 20% but I went in today at 34+4 and she dropped to 6% now I have to go weekly for NST tests and a specialist. It’s very scary anyone else go through this?
His belly has measured big since my 20 week scan. At the beginning he has raised NT level of 4.2, had blood tests at 16 weeks which confirmed as low risk. 20 week scan and this scan at 27+2 are measuring him 97th centile. I had an extra diabetic test which was all fine. Has anyone else had this? Wondering if every...
We had our 12 week scan today and it was such a relief to see there’s actually a lil person growing away in there! I’ve been super lucky to not have many symptoms this time around but it’s really had me doubting wherever I was actually pregnant at times 😅 so amazing to see our little fig and our due date of Dec 5th…
Anyone else been told they’re having a big baby? I have been referred for a growth scan now at 38w but worried it’s going to be off as I know growth scans can be very inaccurate especially the later you are. I do feel huge and my midwife said the baby does actually feel large as opposed to fluid etc. I’m hopin...
Someone just posted about their babies growth chart, so I got curious and went into badger notes to see mine and there’s nothing on it 🙂 completely empty. I’m currently 29+ 4 and there’s no other ‘regular’ scans. Should I be slightly concerned or is this normal? This is my second baby, first was born early due to…
Had a scan today after a small amount of pink spotting, no baby on scan only the gestational sac and yolk sac. Gestational sac measuring 6 weeks 2 day. Has anyone else had this?
I already have a child and often had early scans due to persistent abdominal pain I had back then. I have only had one early scan this pregnancy and they said they couldn’t see a heartbeat but that was probably just down to it being too early. My 12 week scan isn’t until next Tuesday and I’ve been so worried that I’...
Anyone’s baby jumped up in size and then been within normal range on growth scan? I’m being sent for one in the next 72 hours. I already said to midwife before she measured me at the 28 week appointment I felt like baby has growth loads in the past 2 weeks. GTT was higher end of normal last week, and I have low pl...
