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

shocked at ultrasound picture

did anyone else’s baby look like this on their 12 week scan? sonographer said everything looked fine and was very dismissive when i asked her to explain why the chin looked so pointy. i have a tendency to cling onto anything i can to worry about, so am spiralling a bit x

Private scan

So im 32 + 3 days and the last time i had a scan was at 26 weeks and i always said that would be it for private scans until baby boy arrives. However, i really miss seeing him and would love to know an estimate of his weight/his position. Is there any point booking a scan for 33 weeks as they say theres not much roo...

Measurements normal except femurs?

I’m 28 and 3 days and at my MFM appointments they keep saying that my baby girl has all measurements within normal range for her gestational age except her femurs are smaller and every time I go back everything else is proportional growing well, like there’s no bowing or curving of her bones like there would be in d...

I just had my 6-week check today, together with the baby’s check. They measured the baby and so on, but didn’t do any physical exams on me, just asked a few questions. Is that normal?

9-12m Check

We've just had our 9-12m check and the health visitor mentioned that my daughter has asymmetrical creases in her thighs which can mean her legs are different lengths 😅 has anyone else had anything similar? For context, she was born footling breech meaning she had to have hip scans as a newborn to check for hip…
