3d / 4d scan

(Donā€™t know the difference but the one where you quite clearly see what baby looks like) Is anyone else nervous about getting one? I want one and we are thinking about it but also it makes me nervous to see what baby looks like. And I donā€™t know why!!! Anyone else?

6 week early scan

I had a 6 week scan today! Iā€™m still nervous, I had two losses before this. They couldnā€™t get a heartbeat but she did see the flicker and took a video of it and showed it to us. It probably just began beating. This is looking more promising than my last loss. Iā€™m still so worried, I canā€™t help it. Anyone here have a...

Anyones babies born with their feet a little bit bent and get a referral for it from the hospital ?

We was referred by the doctor that did my 6 week checkup as his feet are a little bent when placed flat. I Hurd nothing so presumed everything was ok. I got a call yesterday saying they have a new head nurse whoā€™s read his file and has. Triaged him to be seen asap on the 27th of December. Iā€™m a little worried now.

High percentile

I have been told she has long legs which we expected as we are tall, but her abdomen is on the bigger side which I believe is not good. Iā€™ve tested nega...

Question for moms with more then 1 baby!

This pregnancy is completely different from my first. My first I didn't throw up or lose weight. And my concern is that she isn't going to be measuring properly for my ultrasound on the 27th. I'll be a little over 21 weeks then. I lost almost 20 in a little over a month and I have only gained 5 pounds of that back. ...
