Gender guess

Sorry another one here after my 12week scan, what do we think? Boy or girl? I think one picture looks like a girl and then the other looks like a boy? 🩷💙

Tiny baby

My baby has dropped in percentile every growth scan. Started at 56% to 14% to 5.6% and now 2.9% at 34+4. My doc isn’t too worried cuz dad and I are small people and he’s still healthy but seeing a 1% abdomen measurement is so scary. Does anyone have positive birth stories with percentile readings this low?

Hematomas?

Baby is measuring right on track from our last ultrasound. 💗 They did discover I have two small hematomas, has anyone else had them? They’re doing another scan in a week to see if they shrink or not.

Baby Sunny Side Up

Found out today at my 36w scan that baby is head down, but is sunny side up. Has anyone delivered a sunny side up baby & what was your experience? Or anyone else get this news recently? Doc said it would be fine but could result in a harder/longer labor 🫠

Bump anxiety

Hi. I have low PAPP-A and have been told to expect a small baby. I'm 22 weeks pregnant and still fitting into all my normal clothes.

What is this appointment?

I’m 11 weeks pregnant, and I’ve had a text with an ‘obstetrics appointment’ at the hospital for when I’ll be 14 weeks pregnant. No further info. I am midwife and consultant led due to twins so my only guess is a consultants appointment? But I’ve had no indication as to when or how often I’d be seeing a consultant. I...
