I had my scan yesterday and she said the results should be back in 3-5 working days and that if there were any problems I would get a phone call, if the results were normal I’d get a letter in the post. I told my boss today but that’s as much as we’ve done so far! (Other than my mum who I told straight away) x

I had my dating scan 2 days ago and I received results via NHS app earlier today and should receive the paper version via post in a couple of days.

I had my scan on Monday and recieved the results yesterday on the app. I'm 14 weeks now so we are planning on announcing this weekend!

I had my scan yesterday and the results for the blood test was on my badger notes today!

I've my 12 week scan next Thursday. I'm going to tell everyone on Thursday as I'm struggling to hide bump. Xx

Took a week and a half for my downs/patan results to come back x

Results can take 7-10 days in the post but if something is wrong they call within a couple of days x

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

Almost 37 weeks + told to do another growth scan

I just had my second to last doctor’s appointment this morning, and my OB told me she wants me to do another growth scan because my belly is measuring small. She says it’s probably just because I’m a smaller woman, but they like to be safe. It’s hard to hear though, since I just did one a couple months ago.

I did this with my firstborn around this time of pregnancy, so I do think I just carry smaller (even though I don’t feel like I look “small” at all). My first baby was 6lbs 15oz when she was born at 41 weeks + 2 days. I’m having this baby at 39 weeks on April 7. I hope she’s still at least 6lbs.

Anyone have any stories similar to this?
