I haven't seen anyone else post a 8K scan and thought people may be interested in seeing one! Here is our baby boy at 27 weeks 🩵🩵 The technology they have now is mind blowing 🤯

Measurements

Hey girls, I'm currently 28+5 and in seeing loads of you guys have got measured at midwife appointments and seeing loads about percentiles. I've had none of this so far 😳 is this normal or am I being paranoid and anxious about nothing? 🤣

MRI Photos

Hey, ya’ll! Kinda random, but I thought someone might think these photos were cool. At the beginning of April, at 20 weeks, I went to the hospital for some bad abdominal pain. Turns out, I had appendicitis! They had to do some tests to find out, and one of them was a full abdominal MRI scan. I ended up getting the a...

Ultrasound question?

I got to see our baby girls face today on an ultrasound. She is soo cute I can’t handle it. I just have a question, does anyone know what their mark could be on her face? They said she’s healthy and normal so I’m wondering if this is something I should be worried about?

Gender scan.

I had my gender scan at 16+1 weeks with window to the womb, that said it’s a girl which I’m over the moon with! However I’m afraid it could be wrong. Are we all agreeing that this is a girl? Just looking for some reassurance as I have now brought loads of floral and strawberry covered bits 😬😂 xx

I’ve just looked at my notes and seen it says 13w2d (at the time of the scan) EDD 14th November. This gestation is 2 days ahead of what they told me at the scan and doesn’t match with the due date. C...

Baby measuring 96th centile

Wee bit shocked - went for my 30-week growth scan and my baby is measuring on the 96th centile. I am having to be tested for diabetes and they’ve advised I may not be able to give birth how I wanted to. Does anyone have any experience with baby measuring big?

12 weeks scan

Hello 👋🏻 Can anyone explain me what does the 12 weeks scan consist of? And how long it last? Will the hospital give me the results of the scan? So far I had urine and blood tests at the hospital but they didn’t give me the results. Thanks!

MAT B1

Has anyone received their mat b1 form yet and if so when did you get it? My work said I should get it around 20 weeks but I don’t have a midwife appt then, only a scan - will I get it at the scan?

34 weeks pregnant

Went for a growth scan today and my baby is just above average on the graph and weighing 5pound 10 already! 🫣 so they have said I have to have another scan in 3 weeks to check her growth and if she is still above average we will need to discuss inducing me early! Anyone else had a similar experience? Slightly…

Big baby?

Hey guys, Just wondering at what stages did your baby’s weigh? I’m current having growth scans as baby is above the 97th percentile. I went yesterday (30 weeks exactly) and she’s measuring 4lbs. Just wondering what everyone else’s baby weighed and what they were at birth so I can gestimate if she’s going to be big 😂
