Private scans

has anyone been for a private early scan? 12 weeks seems like a long time to go as I am currently only 7 weeks, and only known for 5 days but it is already making me so anxious!? Any advice? Have you found them reassuring/ worth the money! Any suggestions on companies to use?☺️🫶

Questions for midwives

Hey, I've had a few issues where my midwives missed something and I just want to make sure I check everything at my next appointment in late May when I'll be about 27 weeks. They've never measured me and did miss having my blood type (I've sorted as I need an anti -D jab) but have checked heart beat and done urine t...

Extra growth scans

Hello! Is anyone undergoing extra growth scans for a small measuring baby? I'm 28 weeks today. Went in for reduced movement a couple weeks back (all fine now, baby had just changed into a funky position!) and they ended up doing a growth scan to be safe. Found out our little one is measuring small so I'm going in fo...

Fundal height.

Man, oh man. So, I usually have big babies but, I’ve been so proud of myself because at my 20 week, 24 week, and during my echo a few weeks after, she was measuring always in the 50th percentile via ultrasound. However, three weeks after my last appt, the doctor said she was measuring around 33 weeks. I’m so upset b...

Big baby

Just had a growth scan at 35+3 and baby is 94th centile measuring 7 pounds 2. They’re making me feel like my baby is going to be a giant??? ‘It’s on the bigger side’. I don’t have GD or preeclampsia or anything - feeling normal. I’m also having an elective C. Anyone else in this boat? What are the risks of having a ...

Can Ultrasounds Be Wrong About Baby’s Size?

Just wondering.. has anyone had a baby estimated to be average-sized on both their 32 and 36 week ultrasounds, but ended up delivering a bigger baby (around 4 kg / 9 lbs)? I have such a strong feeling this baby will be big but the scans are putting them right around the 50th percentile. My first was large (nearl...

Not had the result for the combined test I had at my 12 weeks scan.

I had the blood test for the combine test (one that test for down syndrome and Edwards) at my 12 week scan. It was the Thursday before the Easter weekend, so I know that would have slowed it down. But I haven't heard anything. I know no news is good news but surely I should have had the result by now? I am 15 weeks ...
