I have a growth scan today as when I saw the midwife on Friday she said I was measuring small (was 28cm at 28w but only 31cm at 33w) and baby had dropped a centile on the chart.

But also I know there is much further to go! I will have ...

I am currently 11 weeks and my doctor’s office can’t get me in for an ultrasound until June 11th and I’ll be 16 almost 17 weeks then, I’m concerned if that’s late. I want to make sure my baby is developing properly and I know I should be getting one around this time. I had an ultrasound at 6 weeks but none since. Sh...

I had an early scan at 7 weeks first time around because it was an IVF pregnancy. We've unexpectedly fallen pregnant naturally this time around and I registered my pregnancy a couple weeks ago but haven't had any booking contact yet. I'm now 5+3 and I'd like to have an early scan. Do I have to wait for the midwives ...
