Got my midwife appointment tomorrow I’m 18 weeks pregnant, does the midwife check heartbeat at this appointment? Or does that not happen anymore? Thank you!

Hello 👋🏼 I’m 4+5 and called my GP to find out the next step as I have never done this before. She said to sign up to maternity matters and they’ll make contact. It took me to “badger notes” and I signed up. I then got an email from a different email all together saying they’ll be in touch in 4 weeks! From peoples…

Hey mummas!! I’m just wondering when you’ve gone for your 4d scan if you’ve had one??? I have a posterior placenta and I’m not sure the best week to go 🥹

Has anyone else experienced this?! We booked a private scan at 17 weeks to find out our gender, a little boy! Our NHS scan at 21+4 weeks.. congrats on your little girl! Back to private, we still think boy 🫣🤣 eeek! I’m a prepared / organised queen so this is driving me insane!

I have my 12 week scan tomorrow but going to be 11w5 (already had a scan at EPU so can’t imagine much has changed). Has anybody had this scan early and had to return at a later date for scan & checks? My midwife confirmed this date with me so surely she thinks it would be ok!

Went for an early private scan yesterday to see how everything is going. Going by my last period I should be 7+2, however baby was only measuring 6+3! I know it can be normal to measure behind as I don't track ovulation however I tested positive very early (4 days before my period) and symptoms started from when I t...

So I had my last scan on Tuesday just gone and baby was fine but now I don’t have another appointment until the end of this month, I’m finding it hard to just know baby is ok😂like I get so worried x

I had to switch my OB to a midwife @ 30 weeks pregnant due to relocating, haven’t seen a doctor in a month or so && I finally was able to get my insurance sorted && an appointment scheduled for next week! I can’t wait to see my baby && see how many lbs she’s packed on since my last ultrasound nearly 10 weeks ago..Th...

Attended triage tonight for abdominal pain. No one said anything to me but just had a look at my notes and my BP is high and trace of protein in my urine. Does anyone know if this should be alarming?

I have been having a crazy amount of ultrasounds and it's so hard to make the time for them... I had one yesterday because they couldn't find her heart beat at my weekly appointment,but she is perfectly healthy! My next scan is the 14th, do yall think it would be ok to push them out?

I had my 20 week anatomy scan yesterday. The technician might have been pressing hard, but I didn’t realize it till later. She was scanning for abut 45 minutes That evening I experience severe sharp pains, it was difficulty to sleep and find a comfortable position. Now today it’s still bad and experiencing pain. ...

Getting anxious everyone is telling me about how big I am and god knows how I will survive another 12 weeks when my bump is already so big 😩 I am measuring the same as I did with my first born at 36 weeks I’m currently 28…. Does big bump mean big baby? I haven’t had any form of measurement yet so no idea what…

158 bpm. He's definitely a boy, he was showing off so we got a nice potty shot 😂 He was being stubborn and was curled up in a ball so we had to switch to internal. Levi's anatomy is looking great and he's measuring on time! He's still facing us showing off his face, having his mouth open and was active & started…

I am 38+5 and went in today for a growth scan, as baby was plotting small. We last had a growth scan on 22nd and were told she was 5lb 14 today been told she is 6lb 10 and that they need to speak with midwives. We were sat listening to them All debating whether or not to induce me. We heard the whole debate as they ...

Did I find the baby’s heartbeat or just the placenta again??

Does anybody recommend anywhere to get a 4D Scan in the Liverpool area? Thank you!

I just had my 20 weeks scan a couple of days ago and the sonographer said my placenta is lower than they would like to. So I’m having another scan at 34 weeks. Anyone in a similar situation?

Went yesterday for a scan at the hospital currently 13 weeks the lady who was scanning me said “ he’s kicking around a lot “ 10 seconds after I clicked on to what she said I said “he?” She replied “he/she is kicking around sorry “ do you think she accidentally told me I was having a boy or was it just a natural term...

I’m currently 37 weeks and considering booking a private presentation scan next week. I’ve read that they can estimate the baby’s position, weight, and measurements, and some clinics even include a 4D image. Just wondering if it’s still worth doing this late in pregnancy? How accurate were the measurements or weigh...

I am 7 weeks I have my first ultrasound next week. My first pregnancy no issue but then I had miscarriage last year. I’m just freaking out what If there is no heart beat.
