Hi, can someone tell me if I can get a first trimester ultrasound WITHOUT an order or referral from any health care provider (doctor, midwife). I haven’t decided on one yet but need to get an ultrasound for accuracy on due date. I’m located near Fort/Worth area. Thank you!

I did NIPT and I got female but the fetal fraction was really low at only 3.2% , my boys was always 7% and above and also I did sneak peek at 9 weeks and it said boy , I did SNAP! The hands free device which sneak peak says little to no male contamination , I have a gender scan Friday

My 12 week scan and I have a feeling it’s a boy! What do you guys think?

I’m 35+ 5 and I went for my 36 week growth scan today. Baby has been head down for all other scans and midwife appointments. I have an appointment next week Tuesday which they will now see if baby is breech and offer me a ECV ( I don’t want). Has anyone had a similar experience, did baby flip back? Did you do the ...

Hello We had our 12 week testing after our scan, I know it says low risk the 1.88MOM is that normal? Google isn’t giving me anything back! Want to know whether that’s a good number, okay number, great number what even is it? Fertility baby so on edge about everything!

We had our 20 week scan today but because they couldn't see her head/brain properly they've asked us to come back in 2 weeks to check it. She was just in an awkward position (head v far down) and wouldn't budge. Everything else was fine but it's made me so anxious there's something wrong. Anyone else had a similar e...

Just wondering if anyone is in a similar situation! I'm 36 weeks today, first pregnancy and have been having growth scans every 2 weeks since 28 weeks due to the medication I take. Baby started on the 18th centile, dropped to 2nd, went up to 6th then at my 35 week scan she dropped to the 2nd centile again with an EF...

I went to my 34th-week midwife appointment, and she said everything was fine. However, the midwife scheduled my next appointment for three weeks later. Their system is so strange, isn’t it? I haven’t even seen my baby on an ultrasound since the 20th week. How would I know if there’s any issue?

How many people are booking early reassurance scans or are getting on NHS/private? And how many weeks will you be getting it?

Had a growth scan today, im 28+5 and baby is measuring at 3pounds, I feel like that is big, the midwife said not to worry, and baby is doing well so she didn't seem worried. Is it too big? X

We’ve not decided whether or not to have a surprise yet (going to decide by 20 week scan) got a scan yesterday at 17 weeks and in one of the videos they have a ‘potty shot’ any guesses what it looks like? 🙈

I have no idea what I'm looking at, ive googled and I'm still lost. What should I be looking for? These are my scans from today.

Baby number two, they absolutely did not play along, couldn’t get the measurement of the head for Down syndrome because of positioning but they did say they’d be able to do the blood test at 16 weeks, very relieved, nice to meet who’s been making me feel so sick.

Has anyone else been to a midwife appt and been told they have 2+ protein in their urine? Mine has been sent off and should hopefully get the results back soon but feeling slightly worried!

My little one is 2 and was at the doctors before Christmas with a cough and they said she had something called a flow murmur. They said it should go away on its own in a month however when back for a check up today it's still there and is now being referred for a scan. Has anyone else been through this ? Have any i...

Hey, I’ve recently had my 12 week scan and due to baby’s position was unable to have the NT testing done. Has this happened to anyone else and how did you feel? Can have quad test at 14 weeks or go private for scan which is over £300. Worried mam to be

My midwife didn’t offer us the opportunity to listen to the baby’s heartbeat at our 16 week midwife appointment, is that normal in Nottingham? I know friends elsewhere who got to do this.

Now to just wait for the 3+ 🥹✨🤞🏼🤰🏼 Nervous pregnant momma with baby no2. I did the same with my first and it’s just that little bit of reassurance until the scan. ✨✨ Got my 2-3 today 🤞🏼✨ 16DPO

Might be a silly question but I’ve never been told what percentile my baby is? When and how do I find this out? I’ve been looking on tiktok at 99 percentile babies and don’t think I could push that out hahaha

Hi everyone I have my 20 weeks scan on Wednesday but still unsure if I want to know the gender! What did you all do? Pros and cons for both in your opinion as I really cannot decide thanks 🩷💙
