Referred for growth scan

At my 27week appointment on Tuesday they told me my bump was measuring 4cm smaller than it should be, they called and referred me for an emergency growth scan. They told me I should receive a call with an appointment on Wednesday and that it would be last minute but booked in before the end of the week. I stressed a...

Growth Scans

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.

Anatomy scan

My anatomy scan is tomorrow and I have a question for everyone who’s already gotten it done. Do they let you see your baby the entire time during the scan? Or do they only turn the screen to show you at the end? I was under the impression that we got to see baby the entire time and was looking forward to it. (I know...
