I had a gender ultrasound at 15weeks 3 days and am interested to know your opinions. The lady that did the ultrasound is giving the opposite answer to AI. Thank you!

I’m 20 weeks today, and my anatomy scan is tomorrow! It’s been 3 years since my last one so can anyone refresh me; is it just a longer scan for all the measurements etc? No blood tests this time I hope 😩 I have an anterior placenta this time which has been making me very anxious as I didn’t have this with my…

Does anyone ever think 'what if the scan was wrong?' At my 20 week scan i was told they couldn't see anything between the legs when they actually looked and any other time they were close when checking other measurements there was nothing there so I was told it's a little girl which I'm over the moon about because...

I have my dating scan next week at Russel Hall hospital wass and was wondering if me and my partner can bring our child with us.

Tomorrow is our first scan 🙏🏻 After 3 previous losses I’m absolutely terrified. I know nothing can really help but does anyone have any tips for scan anxiety? Right now just the thought of lying in silence for the appointment is sending me into a panic 😭 I can’t bare any more bad news, please pray for us 🙏🏻🤞🏻✨

Is anyone else’s bump measuring on the 90th percentile?? I really don’t wanna be pushing a huge baby out lol🤣

What position was baby in at your 20 week scan?

Does anyone have any recommendations on sweets / chocolate I can eat before a scan to get baby moving? 😂

Just out of curiosity, is anybody choosing not to have an early scan before their NHS 12 week one? I never had one with my first but it seems very much the ‘done thing’ now. It makes me feel like I should have one but I really can’t make up my mind.

I have a Doppler scan next week, what do they actually do?

Have my 20 week scan tomorrow and I’m worried sick. Keep trying to think positive but at the same time worried if they pick up something bad! I had a 16 week private scan and they said everything seemed good. I’m sure there won’t be much difference in 4 weeks. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 anyone else in the same boat?

13 week ultrasound.. I want to know thoughts of what the gender could be!🤭

I had my little boy (21 month) measured today his head after a phone call from my health visitor went from 50th centile to 99th at 9month which I should of been made aware of and wasn’t🫠 and now today is above that line and has asked me to make an appointment with the GP for a review. Has anyone else had this? What…

What did your amniotic fluid measure at 32 weeks?

Hey all 👋 First time mom to be here and been wondering about this for a while but not finding any conclusive answer. Im 8w4d pregnant and yet to have my first scan (booked in for 4th June). I know it’s still early days but when do I let my midwife know I want to have a planned c section? I have an appointment…

Had my 32 week scan today at 32+4 and little boy is only weighing 3lb 15oz. 2 weeks ago he was 3lb 7oz so hasn’t grown as much. Doppler was high as well ( which it has been since 28w). Baby is slowing down in there words. Had to have my daughter at 36 weeks due to the same problem. Feel quite disheartened ☹️

Hi, I had my 12 week scan today, but they said there is some extra fluid around the baby that they are concerned about had anyone else had this?

My baby is doing great but has been breech since at least week 28 (now 35+2). Had a growth scan today and I’ve been booked in for another scan next week, and if she hasn’t turned by then they’ve suggested an ECV the following week… anyone in the same boat? Nervous about breech delivery and c-sections if it comes to ...

I am now 6w4d. But my cycle is 35 day cycle. So typically ovulated around cd19-21. I am little confused to when book my early scan. I am planning to book on 7w0d. But my husband insisting to book on 7w6d since I have a bit longer cycle. . I know the later the better. But I can’t wait to see the scan. Do we hear a...
