Sonographer

My 12 week scan has been booked in with a newly qualified sonographer, I would rather I didn’t know if it was a newly qualified one or not! Now I’m panicking they won’t pick everything! Apparently I can request a second opinion after the scan

No more ultrasounds 😢

Had a regular checkup appt today (33 weeks) after my 32 week ultrasound. She said I won't have any more ultrasounds unless baby seems to be measuring too big or small. I'm a little disappointed, as I'm pretty sure I had at least one more when we got close even with my second, but I guess that's good news overall. I ...

How do you figure out where your placenta is? Maybe it’s too early?

7 week 5 day transvaginal scan and I have no idea what’s what. I should have asked but I was so overwhelmed and anxious I forgot to. I do have a sub chorionic hematoma as well.

Growth scan

Been to see midwife today for 36 week check and she said my fundal height has dropped off the line it was on slightly so has sent me for a growth scan. I am now worrying. Luckily the scan is tomorrow so I don’t need to wait long to see if he is all okay. Anyone else experienced this?
