Hi folks, We're having monthly growth scans due to a history of recurrent losses. The centiles started at 55, and each time we go are dropping. Today we measured at 25 (last month at 38), and it's due to babies femur length always measuring behind. Does this seem normal to you to keep dropping and to have a femur ...

Had my 32-week growth scan today they said everything is looking good and measuring right and look good but as soon as she said she is estimated to be around 3lbs 10oz on the ultrasound I know that's an estimate but still nervous about having a really small baby at birth just have to see how much as changed when the...

Hello, I have been put under consultant care due to my previous pregnancy and PCOS and higher BMI, I didn’t have this with my first. I have my first appointment in 2 weeks.. has anyone else had one? What happens at this appointment? Thanks

i’ve booked a private scan to check on baby as my medication can slow down growth but i’m so curious how big she’ll look🥹 bonus points for 4D view!! (although i know she’ll still look weird at this point lol)

I’ve had some light pink spotting and really bad back pain so I called the epu yesterday they said they can’t do anything until I’m 6 weeks so to give it a couple days. I’ll be 6 weeks tomorrow I’m not sure whether to call tomorrow morning or wait until Monday, the back pain is still just as bad and I’m getting some...

Hi All, Any guesses on what my 12+3 scan of baby could be? Not the clearest but thought I’d give it a go for the fun x

Hi all, this is my 12+3 scan. I did early bloods with sneak peek at 6 weeks and was advised of the gender however, I’ve now seen so many bad reviews and incorrect results🫣 What’s your opinion? Boy or girl? Thanks in advance x

Hi, I got my first scan yesterday it was absolutely amazing! But the only this was I didn’t get to hear babies heart beat. Is this right?

Hey everyone, I had a growth scan yesterday and everything looked good in terms of oxygen levels, placenta flow, and amniotic fluid. However, my baby is now on the 20th percentile, down from 33% just two weeks ago (a 13% drop). They’ve reassured me it’s not a major concern unless there’s a drop of over 30% or if fet...

Is a nub visible here or is the leg blocking it. 12 week scan

I'm 36+1 days and had a growth scan at the hospital today, which showed baby is now on the 13th centile with slowed growth, the reason I’ve had a growth scan was because my bump measurements had previously been on the 50th centile, then 90th, and back to 50th. Yesterday, a different midwife noticed the drop and refe...

12 weeks tomorrow and my nhs scan isn’t until next Friday.. I had a private scan at 6 weeks and was relieved to see a blob with a heartbeat but since then my anxiety has been building and I’ve been thinking is everything okay, is it not okay.. constantly overthinking. Anxiety got the better of me and I booked a priv...

Hi! I’m due my second child in September - have just read somewhere that some hospitals are no longer providing scan photos?? Has anyone had a scan at War Memorial or QA and had to pay for the photos?? Thank you xx

11 week scan! Who else is due on 12th September ❤️

Based on OPK I should be 6w0d today. Went in for first ultrasound and gestational sac is measuring 5w3d and no heartbeat detected. Thoughts on this? Should I be worried?

Hello all! How did you cope between your 12 week & 20 week scans? I am 18 weeks on Sunday and for the past 3/4 weeks my anxiety has been terrible thinking something is wrong ( I have had 3 previous losses and was told this one was ectopic but they misdiagnosed) I’m also feeling little twitches in my tummy and tod...

Anyone else feel like they should be much bigger for the week they are? Went to midwife at the beginning of the week and she said she might send me for a growth scan in 3 weeks time after our next appt as belly looking a bit small. He’s definitely getting stronger as I can feel it in his movements so not worried but...
