Anyone else waiting until the 12 week scan?

I decided not to have a private scan and wait for the 12 week one as I felt private could potentially make my anxiety worse and what will be will be. The wait feels so long and feels like most people have had private! Anyone else also waiting?

38+3 told I need a growth scan

Had my 38 week appointment today and my bump has dropped off the measurements chart. Told I need to be seen for a scan within 72 hours but there are no scans available so they can see me. Has anybody else had this?

Early Scan 🥹🌈

We’re 8+1 & measured as 8+4. Strong heartbeat. After what feels like the longest journey, I didn’t know if we would ever make it to this point. All the nausea and sickness is worth it. Feeling so grateful 🥹🌈✨🤞🏼🤰🏻
