NIPT Test Results
Hi all, Hoping for some advice/info please. I’m 9+2 and 42, so reasonably geriatric as first time mum’s go🙂! Can anyone advise when my NIPT testing is likely to happen and what the results look like/say, would anyone mind showing their results? The pic is from US results, I think. Are the UK results as clear…
12 week ultrasound
Come on you can’t tell me this isn’t a boy 😭😭 to see that SO CLEARLY on a 12 week ultrasound was insane
Scans
Asking because of what was said at my 20 week scan today and it’s just made me think now. Do we not get any other scans now?🤔 The way the woman said it to me was almost like unless something is wrong, baby is too small for example, then there won’t be any others. Is this right?
I think my baby is breech
Since 24 weeks i’ve been told baby is head down but im not so sure! I don’t ever have kicks in my ribs it’s always belly button down I feel kicks. Is requesting a scan to make sure baby is actually head down something they would do?
I really need to Rant, but I need to share this...
I wanted to share my experience so far… I really need to get this off my chest. I’m 9 weeks and 5 days today, and this is the furthest I’ve ever come after 4 early miscarriages. Here’s what I’ve experienced with the EPU and my midwife so far: Last week, I went for my 9-week scan. Instead of being seen by a sonograp...
Growth scans vs baby weight
Hi all, just wondering if anybody had regular growth scans throughout pregnancy and what their babies birth weight was vs their estimated centile/fetal weight during pregnancy. I’m currently pregnant with our first baby and she is measuring above the 90th centile, I’m 34 w 5 d and they estimate her at 6lb 2oz so int...
Pregnant
Is it bad that I haven’t seen an ob yet? I’m currently 11 weeks pregnant and I’ve been going to a small clinic for ultrasounds that is free and they said everything was good with my pregnancy. I have an ob I can see I just never made an appointment due to my insurance getting cut off and we’re supposed to be moving ...
Big big Baby Boy
Hi so I’m 32 weeks and 1 day. I had my 32 growth update because baby boy has always been on the bigger side. We had the growth scan and i expected him to be maybe 4.5 lbs. Wellll he’s 5.4 lbs 🫣🫣🫣! And measuring two weeks ahead! For reference i am 5’2 and started at 110. So very small. Then they told me he was…
Predict gender
Is this a boy or girl? Been told by the sonographer it’s 40% chance it’s a boy as she could see a tiny penis sticking out im 15.5 weeks pregnant? Different symptoms then when I had my girl last year 💙💖

First consultation for birth plan
Hi all - first time mummy here and at the RUH for my birth. I have a scan tomorrow (week33) and have yet to have seen a consultant about any kind of birthing plan and I’m getting really nervous I’m going to turn up and they won’t be seeing me again as I have the scan booked and my gestational diabetes checkup and I...
Hello Mamas does any one had a Fetal Echocardiogram Ultrasound for the IVF induced pregnancy at 22 weeks. My doctor suggested me to do that bcz IVF pregnancy usually has high risk heart defects and needs to be checked in 2nd trimester ?
Please respond to this if you have gone through this process or going through this process like me.
hematoma
I got an early scan done today saying I was measuring 6 weeks but said I had a haematoma in the womb, what could this mean? She wants to see my again next week, I’ve had no bleeding :(
Increased Amniotic fluid
Does anyone have extra amniotic fluid? I have for the past 3 weeks and yesterday at the scan they discovered baby has some fluid in his tummy. We have been referred to Kings to have another scan tomorrow to get a second opinion. Has anyone else experienced this? Im currently 29+3 days.
Further ahead?🤔
Has anyone else’s 12 week scan confirmed they are actually further than what you’ve calculated yourself? I’m 10 weeks but I’m sure I’m more … Xx
12 week scan- late time?
Is it normal to have scans around 7pm at RUH? I’ve never had any appointments later than 4 before with my first😅 also with it being that late do you think they’d allow my little one in with me in her pushchair? Childcare is impossible to get🥹

Stims
A bit deflated after scan today as my follicles still aren't as big as they should be. Day 13 biggest one is 16mm and got 2 14mm which I'm praying catch up. There's a few 10/11/12s aswell. Got another scan tomorrow 🤞🏻 I love my fiancé to bits but he couldn't understand why I was upset and kept telling me to stay…
