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?

Paranoid it’s going to be bad news

I had a scan at 8w and all looked great but I had a missed miscarriage at 9 weeks last time and I’m so scared it’ll be bad news at my 12 weeks last scan next week. I find scans so anxiety inducing after having a MC. 😪

I had an early scan 2 weeks ago measuring 5w+6. Today, exactly 2 weeks later I am measuring 6w+5

That's not 2 weeks growth but 6 days! Should I be concerned?

Low Hcg - ivf

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone has any advice or success stories on low hcg. It's my 1st ivf cycle: 10dp5dt = hcg 76 14dp5dt = hcg 112 At the moment, I've been booked for a scan on 27th Feb. I have had 2 miscarriages in the last 10 years, and I'm unsure what tests I could push for to identify why my body is...

Girl or boy thoughts? 💗💙

Measuring big

Hello everyone, I had a midwife appointment yesterday, and she mentioned that I was measuring big. I'm currently 30 weeks, but my belly is measuring at 32 weeks. She booked me for a scan to check on things. Two weeks ago, I had a private scan, and the baby was measuring fine, following the growth chart as expected...

Heartbeat 16 week midwife

Hey I’m due to have my 16 week midwife appointment tomorrow and was wondering if anyone got to hear baby’s heartbeat or is it someone you need to ask for. My anxiety has been quite bad since my nausea has disappeared and I haven’t gained weight. I’m a first time mum so I’m constantly worrying.
