Community Posts, Tips & Support on Pregnancy Scans

I had a private scan at Window To The Womb yesterday and found out we’re having a little girl. I’m 16+ weeks pregnant. But of course my little brain second guesses everything. Would you agree this is a girl?

Anyone that uses the awful badger notes and that’s bad 12/20w scan is your report for the scan on the app? It’s like nothing is uploaded onto mine last was my blood test results. I miss my hand held notes where I could have a nosey through. The app is rubbish if it ever lets me on half the time.

I’m actually 16 weeks now but I’m so eager to know already! My 20 week scan isn’t until the 7th May! Tempted to book a private scan at this rate 😂🙈

Doctor said I have placenta previa at ultrasound. Anyone else?

Has anyone here not gone for an early private scan and found they still felt fine approaching their 12 week one and had a happy health hub 🥺 Ive been on the fence about going for an early scan, but then start overthinking that I’ll face massive disappointment at the 12 week one ): Any positive stories? Thank you xx

I got my letter already about my scan but I will only be 9 weeks.I remember with my first I was bang on 12 weeks for my scan, is this normal? :)

I had a growth scan today and baby is plotting just above 93rd percentile, first baby was small so this is all totally new to me. Had a GD test at 26 weeks and that was negative, no professional seems concerned about size (maybe because I am already booked in for a section for other reasons, nothing size related). H...

What did your baby weigh at 28 scan? Had mine today and he was 2lb 12oz 🥹

Apart from the whooping cough vaccine and the MATB1 form, what else happens at the 25 week appointment? I’m having mine tomorrow (slightly earlier than expected at 22 weeks). But just wondering if I should ask anything/prepare any questions? Do they take blood again and all that?

What were everyone’s bump measurements at midwife appointments? I had one 3 weeks ago and I measured 25cm but I’m worried it’s not grown much, idk probably bc I see myself everyday lol but baby is active Alhamdulillah and I’ve got another appointment tomorrow so fingers crossed it goes well 🥺💖

My little girl is 3 and a half months, she has had a birth mark on her eyelid for the best part of 2-3 months now which has spread to the side of her head too. I took her to the doctors about 6 weeks ago (maybe longer) where I was told it was ‘untreatable’ and will eventually go away on its own. I went to the hospit...

I’m terrified for my 12 week scan, I have just over 2 weeks till my scan and I’m so anxious and considering a private scan in the mean time. I have previously had a missed miscarriage and worried of what I will see at the scan. I have had 2 early scans which have been healthy and a good heart beat seen, but we know...

Can they tell if there are any problems with baby at the 12 week scan? Or is it just a dating scan and the more intense scan for issues is 20 weeks?

My 20 week scan is Friday! So exited, when is everyone’s??

Those of you with posterior placentas when are you having or already had your 4D scans? Xx

We had our 4D scan on Saturday, I can't believe I've seen his features! I just want him to be here now! I can't wait!! 🥰🩵

Has anyone else been told by their GP surgery they don't do 6 week pp check ups anymore? Wondering if this is a Wales thing/Caerphilly thing/just my GP?! I phoned to make the appointment and was told unless I have any "problems" they don't do a check up. My consultant wanted pp platelet count check and when I was di...

Hi, I’ve had an early scan today as by my dates and last period I should be 6 weeks and 2 days pregnant! The sonographer has said I am measuring as 5 weeks and 5 days so couldn’t see a heart beat but could see the sac and the yolk. So I need to go back in 2 weeks. Did anyone else have this? No idea how I’ll get thro...

Hello everyone, I’m just wondering when you are supposed to get the letter in the post telling you the scan date for your 12 week scan with nhs as I don’t remember when I got my letter with my first 😅

I got sent a letter for a gynaecology appointment maybe a week or 2 pp, I had a third degree tear but no other complications or issues since. Has anyone else received one?
