6 week pp check up

Has anyone else been told by their GP surgery they don't do 6 week pp check ups anymore? Wondering if this is a Wales thing/Caerphilly thing/just my GP?! I phoned to make the appointment and was told unless I have any "problems" they don't do a check up. My consultant wanted pp platelet count check and when I was di...

Early scan measuring smaller

Hi, I’ve had an early scan today as by my dates and last period I should be 6 weeks and 2 days pregnant!

No idea how I’ll get thro...

Short long bones

Hi everyone, I’m just posting this hoping to find out if anyone has experienced anything similar & what the outcome was as I’m totally overwhelmed with worry. I can’t seem to find much online about others going through this. I’ve been midwife-led my whole pregnancy (low risk) with no concerns up until 31 weeks whe...

What if I can’t make my 20 week scan?

SOS please help!😆 I’m a first time mum so I have absolutely no idea on anything!! I’m currently 18 weeks pregnant and my 20 week scan was booked in for the 22nd of April but I am away that week so I asked to reschedule but they have yet to book me in again. What if they can’t fit me in anytime soon, as they told me…

Had my 2nd tracking ultrasound today and they couldn't find my ovaries. So they have booked me in to have a normal ultrasound on wednesday. Was told today if they can't find mt ovaries they may cancel the cycle 😭😭 Has anyone had this issue before? Any advice would be appreciated.

Took a clear blue test with the weeks indicator and last Sunday it said 2-3

I took another one today to see if it was able to detect I was 5 weeks plus and it is still saying 2-3. I am getting very worried thinking that my pregnancy hasn’t progressed and I’m going to go to my scan on Friday being told bad news. Please tell me someone else has experienced this and everything was ok😭

Too early?

Do you think a private scan at 5+4 would be too early for a heartbeat? Should I move the scan?

Early scan

Hi all, just had an early pregnancy scan and I’m showing at 6w2d instead of 7w2d. No fetal pole or yolk sac and she has advised us to come back in 2 weeks time… any positive stories of returning and seeing something? 😢 I’m going away next week and so worried.

Only having 2 scans... is my baby okay?

I had 1 at 12 weeks and one at 20 weeks. They said everything seems good but I can't help but worry. 20 weeks -40 weeks is such a long time and so much could happen. How do people feel comfortable after having only 2 scans?
