Low laying Placenta

Hey all! I am 20+5 and had my 20 week scan a couple of days ago. In the appointment, she had to do an internal exam due to a low lying placenta so have to go back in 32 weeks. I have probably done the worst thing and gone straight on Google but has anyone had the same and what happened at 32 weeks? I’m absolutely a...

16 week NHS scan

I’ve got a scan on the 15th January as when I went for my 12 week scan my little bean decided to be a carbon copy of their father and be a stubborn little sod and they could not do any measurements, as it was laying on its side looking at the sonographer 🤣 . So I have to go back for a scan at 16 + 3 to do some…

12 Week Scan Anxiety

Hi! I have my 12 week scan soon and I can’t stop feeling anxious about it. What did you all do to cope? I have had no symptoms throughout my pregnancy so far and I’m not showing so it’s hard to be reassured 😔

20-week scan

For those who have already had their 20-week scan, did they estimate the baby’s weight? My first baby was born on the 99th percentile (no diabetes), and I’m curious if my second baby might be following a similar trend.

Nub analysis

My friend got this nub analysis done on my 13 week scan. Results to be confirmed on the 18th. Would definitely be nice after 2 boys! But as long as they are healthy, that is all I truly want!

Gestational sac and yolk no feral pole

I’ve just been for my first reassurance scan and the sonographer said they can see the gestational sac and the yolk, but no baby yet 🥺 I’m going back next week but I’m so worried now it’s not viable 💔

Private Reassurance Scan - Gender guesses?

Had a private scan today due to anxiety and i cant quite make out where the nub is on these photos? The 3rd photo is actually of the baby’s stomach with its legs crossed! The Sonographer said it was too early for her to see the gender. Any guesses just for fun?

Scan at 6 weeks

What would you see in a scan at 6 weeks? Nothing much I guess? Is it worth having an early scan at 6 weeks? I’m not concerned about the pregnancy as such just interested :)

Anyone know how to get hold of epu at GWH?

I had an ectopic pregnancy in August with surgery and when I was discharged they told me to contact them as soon as I’m pregnant again as they’ll need to do an early scan. I’m pregnant now again about 4/5 weeks, but I’ve realised I actually have no idea how to get hold of them as they say you can’t self refer on the...

Papp-A

Hi, I have got a letter after they took my bloods during 12 week scan to say I have low papp-a and so need extra scans etc. Has anyone else had this at all? I will be calling midwife today to find out more but interested to know if anyone else had this too?

No symptoms

Hi all, since about 9 weeks, I've not had many symptoms. I've got my scan on the 14th, and I'm starting to panic now that they won't see a heartbeat. NHS where I am now wl only let my husband come in for the final 5 minutes of the scan, and the thought of being told bad news on my own is really making me panic. I lo...

Please Help. Ultra sound tech?

Long story , but my cousin has an ex who is claiming she is pregnant. She has done this multiple times but she sent this trying to “prove” something.

Baby weight at delivery

Hi mums! I am wondering (as for buying clothes and nappy sizes) if you were estimated a low weight in ultrasound scans but actually delivered a much bigger baby? I have seen post on women that are told that they have huge babies and it was not accurate by the time they have delivered. But, I wonder if the opposite c...
