Hey guys! Had a scan today, dated me at 12 weeks + 2 days.. It was pretty magical I’ll be honest, this is my first and the movement on little bub was crazy! Legs kicking, arms moving & heartbeat going🥹 I’m yet to find out the gender! However I think it’s a boy and boyfriend thinks a girl! We would be very happy…

I had a high CO reading at my midwife appointment yesterday (8) and they told me to call a gas person, investigate where it might be coming from etc. I feel super anxious about it as it is obviously really bad for baby and unsure whether this could just be a fluke or something to seriously worry about. Has anyone h...

We had our 12 weeks scan yesterday. Baby measured 12+6. I’m eager to find out the gender, any guesses based on this? Will add another photo below…

Had my first scan today was supposed to be 7+5 and baby measuring 8 weeks had a healthy heart beat so excited and so happy 🩷

Would love to know everyone’s thoughts! We have just had our 12 week scan and to say we are overjoyed is an understatement ❤️

Has anyone been told their placenta is low?

Just had my first midwife appointment and she was so lovely!! Got our 12 week scan booked for the 18th December! I’m so excited 😆!

So so relieved to have our 12 week scan today. All is looking good and could see our little bean dancing around! Any one want to guess the gender? I’m useless at the nub theory x

I’ve got my 20 week scan on the 6th December! What should I expect & can they write down the gender instead of telling me with NHS city hospital?

Hey! I just recently self referred to my chosen hospital my pregnancy and they’ve come back with my first appointment being next week where I will only just be 5 weeks. I’m wondering why it’s been booked so early. I had high blood pressure and a bad infection which caused a complicated labour and my baby to be in NI...

Did anyone not go to the second scan a week layered after miscarriage. I am feeling drained and emotional not up to it.. still bleeding day 7

Majority of the appointments it feels like it is rushed and I sometimes feel uncomfortable to ask too many questions ( but I still ask them) Yesterday I had a growth scan, after the scan I had to wait about 2hrs to see the doctor, during the consultation her phone rang twice which answered, she told me the baby is...

Finally got to see our healthy little bean today! Everything looked healthy and strong. So relieved!

Been for my 12 week scan today. Measuring at 12 weeks exactly. Baby due 2nd of June 2025 (same day as my daughters birthday) what’s everyone thinking boy or girl💙🩷

Girl or boy?! I'm still unsure! 🐬🌷

My doctor told me my hcg number and that’s it’s a little high. I could either be far along although I know my period date or it could be twins. Scheduled for ultrasound but getting anxious. Any suggestions or similar experiences?

I had our first private scan today & baby is well! Although I’ve been told I’m earlier than I thought. I thought I was 8 weeks tomorrow but they’ve said I’m 6 weeks and 3 days. Has anyone else had this and whose date should I go by?

I’ve never heard of this? I went for scans every two weeks with my first born and I’m not sure what it’s for I haven’t been told anything? X

Hey! I'm officially 32 weeks and at my last appointment (30 weeks) my doctor said they don't do any more ultrasounds especially since I'm having a pretty easy/ healthy pregnancy. Has this happened to anyone else? The last sonogram I got was my anatomy scan at like 24 weeks. I just want to see my baby!
