So very nervous, please share any positive experiences🥺

10 weeks, had some red bleeding on Friday night, not enough to fill a pad but enough to be concerned. I have a scan booked for tomorrow but have started having a tiny bit again, a lot less than before but also some brown blood with it.

20 week scan / gender

Hi, does anyone know if Swindon hospital will write down the sex of the baby during the 20 week scan? I don’t want to find out in the scanning room so planned for them to write it down, but apparently they don’t always say yes to this? TIA

Disheartened.

I went for a private gender scan today and I told the lady I didn’t want to know what the babies gender is as I am doing a gender reveal later and can she write it down. She was in the middle of the scan when she said “I’m just going to try to see more of his face.” Has she ruined it or could she just have used a ra...

Private scans

Hi, has anyone experienced an NHS trust willing to write down the sex of the baby during the 20 week scan ( we didn't find out with the last 2 so not sure) i am assuming they won't, in which case can anyone recommend somewhere private? I'm in Herts/central beds ways - TIA

Scan pics look okay?

Hello! Anything look abnormal in these scan pics? Feel like my 12 week scan was quite rushed and all was really said is that there’s a heartbeat and just the 1 baby! I’m quite an anxious person so just want other opinions ❤️

You see a child with medical devices/tubes while in public. Do you ask the parents about it?

The few times we've taken my youngest into stores we are always asked about his tubes or his scars(if his hat is off). Like I don't mind talking about his diagnosis, but at the same time I would never approach strangers only to ask their child's medical situation.
