Blood on scan

I had a private scan yesterday and they mentioned they could see a collection of something on the scan, possibly blood. She said it was nothing to worry about but hard not to. Has anyone had this before? I have text my midwife but no response yet.

Did you guys ultrasound tech “guess “ the gender based off the part was growing ? I’m 12 weeks and I got my 1st ultrasound she guessed a girl based off how it was growing but said it could be either way. I have two other kids and they

Never did that before. Curious if that happened to you ? And if so were they right !?

Anybody else frustrated with their due date?

My due date according to my LMP was 17th April. At my 12 week scan they brought it forward by 8 days! (So today) I understand they believe the scan is more accurate because it’s based on measurements whereas estimating with the LMP assumes a 28 day cycle with an ovulation on day 14, which isn’t the case for everyone...

Percentiles

So at my scan (23 weeks) my baby was measuring on the 10th percentile. I’ve been for an appointment today and she measured my bump and she’s on the 90th percentile. I am now so confused lol. My midwife said measuring the bump isn’t accurate and I’m due another scan soon so will get more accurate measurements. ...

30 week growth scan

I had a 30 week growth scan done today due to reduced movements and baby is measuring fine (weighing in at 3lb11) but apparently he/she has a big belly, she said I need to have it remeasured at my 32 week scan but as I’ve had a glucose test in the last 6 weeks I don’t need to worry. Except I am worrying 🤣 anyone…

Would you agree?

I had a private scan at Window To The Womb yesterday and found out we’re having a little girl. I’m 16+ weeks pregnant. But of course my little brain second guesses everything. Would you agree this is a girl?
