Placenta previa question

I was diagnosed at my 20 weeks anatomy scan with placenta previa. My OBGYN did not even call me with the result. I brought it up at my monthly appointment at 24weeks that my scan showed placental previa and should I be concerned since I was spotting. He said oh I didn’t see that, and then read the report and said ye...

Big baby!

Hi ladies, I had my growth scan today. Last growth scan baby was growing as normal, this time round I was told she’s at the 97th percentile due to my GD! I’m very petite and I don’t know whether that relates to anything, but I don’t know about vaginally birthing a big baby. I was told if she stays on the 97th per...

12 week scan, not to plan!

We had our 12 week scan today, and it was amazing to see our little bean but unfortunately was not able to get any screening. Baby was not cooperating and despite walking around and having a chocolate bar, the position meant that they could not screen and I won’t get any screening apart from the DS blood test in a ...

Uterine artery doppler

I'm 22 weeks pregnant and today went for a uterine artery doppler (due to having pre eclampsia with my first son) which confirmed "PI is raised" which translates to the placenta isn't functioning as well as it should be so I'm at further risk of pre term birth/developing pre eclampsia again and having a small baby. ...

# of Sonograms

I just moved from Colorado to Oklahoma and in Colorado for my first pregnancy I received a decent amount of ultrasounds which I was glad because it made me worry less. Now I’m in Oklahoma pregnant with my second and they are saying I only get two ultrasounds the whole pregnancy? This is weird to me because do I not ...

First ultrasound today ☺️☺️

Had my first ultrasound conforming pregnancy. Went to a completely different obgyn and loved them much more. They did have difficulty finding the heartbeat but they said not to worry baby is small still so the heartbeat isn't as loud.

Appointments

Hey Mummies, I just wanted to ask how many appointments do you get with midwife and how many scans do you get with the hospital in general? It’s a very long wait from 12 to 20weeks if I’m being honest.

Girls weird one! I had an early gender scan at 14 weeks. BOY! (Pic in comments) Had my 20 week scan today and asked the consultant if he agreed boy. He checked for about a minute and there was no penis. It was as flat as a pancake.

He checked for about a minute and the initial glimps he said yep it's a boy, but then when he got closer he was like ... hang on a minute. No. I can't see anything screaming boy. He said he would not be inclined to say. What do you think? What would you believe. 14 week scan is in comments
