I had a 16 week scan today and can’t help but feel disappointed. It was an extra scan given to us because the NHS couldn’t get the screening measurements at 12 weeks. Baby was facing backward so it was blurry and we could hardly see anything. The sonographer didn’t seem interested in letting me move around to try a...

Anyone who already has kids, understands the nub theory, or is just very good at guessing gender. What do we reckon? I’m actually not going to find out, however id love to hear people’s opinion!

Had a scan today and was very hopeful of finally getting a look at baby's face, but nope, she's chosen to be stubborn throughout the whole pregnancy. Bless the ultrasound lady for really trying this time. Only a couple more weeks until we meet her and get to see her face 😍 Anyone else have/ had a stubborn baby…

I have heard the heartbeat but with a transvaginal scan last week.

Are my appointments lined up wrong? I’ve had my 12 week scan already. My next midwife appointment is when I’ll be 14 weeks and 5 days. My next scan will be at 20 weeks exactly. Is this normal or am I missing something? I keep hearing about all these other appointments but they are at totally different stages to mi...

Hi everyone! I am going for a cervical scan on Monday to check the length of my cervix after a previous LLETZ. I will be 18w2d and I’m so hopeful that they’ll tell me the gender. Has anyone got experience of this and know if they might? With my last pregnancy, I already knew the gender as it was after 20 weeks so I...

Hi, I have my 16 week appointment with the midwife in just over a week and I’ve seen some people say they heard the baby’s heartbeat during this appointment. Is this true or does it vary depending on Midwife? Did you take Husbands/Partners with you to 16 week appointment? TIA 😊

I am over the moon! In our first pregnancy, we got the worst news at our 12 weeks scan. Today was such a beautiful achievement for us and our baby! I’m so grateful to have had a shot at redemption🥹🤍🌈any nub theory experts wanna have a guess?🥰🥰

This is my baby’s 12 week scan, what do you vote for boy or girl. My intuition says boy though. Keep guessing

had a transvaginal scan told my cervix was measuring 21.8mm when it should be atleast 25. has anybody else had this and had a full term pregnancy?

Just wondering if anyone has experience with their placenta moving up enough between 32 and 36 weeks? At my 20 week scan they said my placenta was slightly near baby’s exit so got booked in for follow up at 32 weeks to check the placenta had moved up. Had the scan this morning and it’s still too close to be allowed...

These are the gender photos but can’t work out if I’m looking at the legs or not 😂

12 week scan x

Me and my partner have decided not to find out but I am so curious to know what you all think. First picture is the 20 week scan and I will also post 12 week scan in comments. Thanks in advance!

After an awful night sleep with horrible nightmares due to the anxiety of knowing the scan was today, I am so pleased to say my 12 week scan went perfectly and everything was as it should be! So so happy & relieved right now feel like a weights been lifted off my shoulders! Measuring 12weeks 1day & due on the 6th No...

Had my private scan today at 8w1d but baby measuring at 8w3d so 2 days ahead. Feels more real once you get a scan and get to see your little baby. So glad I got this as I was getting so worried as my symptoms keep flacuating! Telling our 3 year old daughter tomorrow she’s going to be a big sister 🎀🩷

Boy or girl based on nub? We’re having a surprise but thought it would be fun for people to guess ☺️🩷💙

I see lots of people on here knowing the weight or size of their baby at the moment, I’m 34 weeks but haven’t had an NHS scan since 20 weeks which I think is normal? Midwife has measured my bump last few appointments, baby is on 97th percentile but following the line so haven’t been offered a growth scan. Anyone els...

Saw my baby last at 6 weeks 4 days and they were literally a bean 😂 went for my last scan today at the EPU after multiple losses and they’ve put me forward a day at 9 weeks 5 days and baby looks so different just 3 weeks later! A proper baby! They moved around so much it was hard to get a decent pic 😂 DD now 23rd…

I’m tempted to go today but wondering if it’s a little early despite them offering from 16 weeks?
