I did an ultrasound last Monday expecting to be around 8 weeks along, they said I was less than 6 weeks because they couldn’t see any sign of pregnancy even with an internal ultrasound. They did find a 20mm corpus luteum cyst in my right ovary which is the area where i have been feeling some mild cramping pain, but ...
We had our 12 week scan yesterday, and turns out we are 13 weeks 2 days. They measured the fluid behind babies neck and said it was 3.6mm and they would like it to be 3.5 or less. We are very stressed about what this could mean as me and my partner have very different opinions on the options that follow the resu...
Has anyone had an early scan and saw anything that's made it worth not waiting out untill you see the baby on the 12th week scan? I had a reasurrance scan at 6w+1 due to pain and didn't see anything apart from a circle & im now 7w+3, was thinking to wait around the 8-10w mark but unsure what's the best? Also places ...
We have a scan in 2 weeks time and can’t wait!! Any guesses on the gender?
Had one of these on Friday (38+6) and baby estimated 6lb 11oz Has anyone else had one? What did they estimate? And if you’ve given birth already how accurate was it? Also since then feet and ankles have ballooned and I’m just so ready for her to come now 🙃 Hopefully she will come soon, sweep is booked for…
Has anyone been in a situation where they had conceived in-between 2 partners? Like I have had 2 partners in a six week period I have my ultrasound coming up so it'll tell me how many weeks but has this happened to anyone else?

I had my 7 week scan with my fertility centre and got told the sac looked empty and there was no sign off a heart beat I have another scan next week could it change by then or should I prepare myself for bad news again 😔
So last week we went for a private ultrasound at 11w. The baby was laying on its back and was kicking and moving like crazy it was so cute! So a week later (today), my husband and I decide to surprise our moms for Mother’s Day and take them to a private ultrasound to see what we saw because it was so magical… We...
I saw North Tees midwife last week, estimated me to be 11+3, I’ve had a letter through for my dating scan (and nuchal screening) but not til 17th June in Hartlepool! By my maths I will be almost 17 weeks pregnant by then! I thought screening had to be done before 14 weeks. I’ve left answerphone messages for midwife ...
Had my first early scan today. Thought I was 8+5 and measured at 8+5 so I'm beyond happy and reassured! Amazing experience seeing heart flickering away
I had my 20 week nhs scan done 2 days ago and the baby was hiding but they told us it’s a girl. But at one point they said the legs were crossed so I’m hesitant in thinking if it’s actually a girl. So I’m planning to go to window to the womb (99.9% accurate apparently). But if the baby is in the awkward position aga...
I just had my anatomy scan today at 19 weeks 2 days and my babys umbilical cord was in the way to see the gender would I get another ultrasound to see or do I just have to wait until the next ultrasound?
I have my gender scan tomorrow and was just wondering if I need a full bladder?
I had my 20 week ultrasound Tuesday and was wondering if my baby weighing 11 ounces & being in the 45th percentile a good thing ? I wasn’t concerned at first but why did the percentile thing get me overthinking once I looked it up 😭
Anterior placenta at 12 weeks scan, can it still move by 18-20 weeks? I read that it can. Or does it stay in the same place.
