Private scan

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? 🥲

Wondering how accurate ultrasounds are

I went for my anatomy scan and the ultrasound tech messaured my baby boy as 2 weeks ahead and said he’s a whole pound more than he should be. She said they could’ve gotten my due date wrong but I was tracking my period so I don’t think that’s the case. Her exact words were “he’s a massive one” and now I’m even more ...

Low lying placenta

Had my 20 weeks scan this week and was told I have a low lying placenta (not completely covering cervix, just a small amount over overlap), and that they’d book another scan at 32 weeks to check if it has lifted off my cervix as everything grows. Has anyone been told this at 20 weeks and did you end up having to hav...

Baby growth slowing down

Hey I’m 36 weeks + 1 and the midwife measured the baby’s growth as slowing down on the chart so they’ve booked me in for a scan in a couple days. Trying not to panic but has anyone else had this happen? Movements seem fine to me but now I’m paranoid I’ve missed something

Measuring quite a bit behind

So I had an early scan today, am supposed to be 9 weeks. I was measuring 6 weeks with no heartbeat, I’m being referred to my local hospital which I’m assuming will be in about a week for another scan. Has anyone else had/ know anyone who’s had this and it’s been okay? I think 3 weeks is a huge discrepancy and I’m ...

Cervix checks?

I keep seeing posts where people are mentioning that they’re getting cervical checks at their appointments so they know how dilated and effaced they are. So, I was wondering when those checks started? I haven’t had one yet and I’m at almost 39 weeks. I think my midwife is just of the opinion that everything is going...

Scans - why am I not having any?

I keep seeing people post that they’ve had scans with estimated weight of their baby but I was under the impression that you only get a scan if there is a concern with growth or high risk pregnancy? I’m 36+5 and have no idea how heavy my baby is, midwife said he was not engaged at my last appointment but that was al...

Does anyone else have a tilted uterus?

Just been for my 12 week scan and they were really struggling to find baby due to my tilted uterus. Ended up having an internal scan in the end and baby is doing really well.
