Went for a private scan today and found since my 20week scan 3 weeks ago where baby was in the 50th percentile has dropped to the 13th. My 20 weeks ago scan said I may have IUGR, confused as to what this means and worried it has dropped soo low at 23 weeks. Will contact midwife on Monday, just wanted any advice from...

I am currently 39+2 and was referred for a growth scan 3 days ago for “reduced growth” by my community midwife. At the scan we found out that actually he had had a growth spurt and now I have been referred for induction talks, as they are concerned baby is “too big for me”. He was showing as 8lb 4oz at 39 weeks exac...

So I am sure I’ve had a mmc after my news I got yesterday morning at my private scan. The lady who scanned me has referred me to my local EPU however I still haven’t heard anything. If anyone has been in this situation before, when would they contact me? Or should I call them?

So I booked a private scan 14+6 weeks and the baby looks so different 😅 particularly the head, so I used to think it was a boy based on 12 week scan (in comments) but now might be girl 😂 help is this normal?

Hi, has anyone had 2 transvaginal scans in the space of 5 days? Thanks

I went for an early scan with NHS today as I was worried about some spotting yesterday. I thought I was 8 but measuring 6 .. really worried me as I’m almost certain on all my dates. Anyone had similar ? I have an appointment for a re scan in just over a week x

I can’t get over the experience of a 4D scan, I’m absolutely mesmerised it’s made me so excited to have her here 🥰

I am early in my pregnancy and discovered during my scan yesterday that I need a cervical stitch. I'm so scared cause this is my first ever surgical process. Has anyone experienced the cervical stitch before?

Hi all! Just wondering, my due date is 11/8 which shows that the earliest I can have a scan is Monday. I’m wondering if I selected 10/8 if I could go tomorrow due to work commitments in the week? Did anyone get promoted for proof? Thanks in advance all x

Just want to find out if anyone had a similar experience. I went for my 16 week check up and scan. The gynae told me my baby is 2 weeks behind. I need to eat and drink more (as I weighed the same as the month before), but at the same time the baby is between the 90-95% percentile on the growth chart. She said the gr...

Hi dear community. I've scheduled a midwife appointment for 9weeks. The first scan will be not earlier than 12 weeks. I am currently 7.5 weeks and I am considering a private scan, just to be sure everything is ok. I don't have many symptoms and feel weird talking to the midwife in 2 weeks without even knowing if my ...

28w today, i went to my NHS scan at 26w2d and baby was weighing big at 2lb14oz and they told me his belly is still on the larger side.. i went to my first private 3D scan and they told me he is weighing 2lb9oz at 27w6d and his belly is weighing only a day ahead… what to believe? the NHS have put the fear of god in m...

I had an early private scan at 8w and it shows very slow heartbeat and a tiny fetus at 3.8 mm CRL. I was referred to the EPU and the scan showed it’s still the same at 9w with a slightly larger gestational sac. They said they can’t do anything as long as there’s heartbeat as it would be considered as termination. I’...

Hey everyone! I had a detailed 13-week ultrasound today, and the baby was found to have increased nuchal translucency. Has anyone else experienced this? Did it resolve on its own, or did you need further testing? I’m trying to stay calm, especially since our blood test came back negative for any syndromes. We opted ...

How much did everyone’s baby weigh at their 20 week scan. Mine was as 10ounces is that small?

Had a private scan thinking I was 7weeks 5 days. They could see an empty sac with fluid measuring 4-5 weeks. Referred to EPU had another scan which showed the same as private. Took my bloods and then again 48 hours later and my hormones have “significantly risen” I have no bleeding, no cramps and haven’t really ha...

We had our 12 week scan today and just wondering if anyone has any guesses on girl or boy? 🩷💙

I’ve got a scan booked for 6 weeks but I’m working it out from my last period so will they still see a heart beat or am I meant to work it out from when I actually conceived? Do they count the weeks from your last period?

So I’ve just been for a private scan I’m currently 33 weeks +4 and they’ve just told me that baby is measuring really small on the 3rd percentile. They said that as soon as I get home that I should contact triage to let them know about the matter. What do I do? Has anyone else had this problem? 🥲
