Attending 12 scan alone 💔😭

My husband is amazing and came to every midwife and scan appointment in my first pregnancy, it was so nice to be able to experience the journey together. This time round he missed my midwife booking app (not his fault) and my mums just let us down last minute for child care so i’m having to attend my 12 week scan al...

Scan

Hey ladies hope your well. I wanted to ask if any of you ladies have ever requested scan videos at your scans please? And did they give you the scan videos or what was the doctor/sonographers response?

20 week scan

Had my 20 week scan today, the cheeky monkey decided to keep their back to us the whole time😭 managed to get good look at spine, brain and kidneys but we’ve been asked to come back next week to get a good look at heart, cord and hopefully gender! I was so excited to find out today

Any ideas?

Just wondering what you all think for fun. Have a 2yr girl & also thought this may be a girl as there are lots in our family. But, after the scan I wasn’t so sure??? I know the image isn’t the best but I’m so excited to find out & get organised!

Am I over thinking?

Had my 20wk scan yesterday. The nurse asked if we wanted to know the gender and we said no. So when she got down that end she asked us to close our eyes. However at the end of the scan she said didn’t see the gender while measuring the legs. Am I over thinking and thinking that it’s a girl if she didn’t see anything...

New Cross Hospital Ultrasound Department?

Second pregnancy but first time having scans at New Cross. I’ve had my 12 week scan come through on badger notes, But it gives no information about where it Is? I’m assuming it’ll be New Cross as that’s where I gave birth last time and plan to again this time. Does anyone know where I need to go? I’ve tried looking ...

Heartbeat gender guesses

Has anyone found out their gender yet? Just heard the heartbeat for the first time and I’m even more convinced it’s a boy now, which was my gut feeling. It sounded like a train and was 138. The old wives tale is if it sounds like a train and under 140 then it’s a boy or if it sounds like a horse and over 140 it’s ...
