Aw I had my 12 week scan recently and look at the little hand!

Has anyone been referred to fetal medicine for a scan before?

Currently 15 weeks pregnant, my 12 week scan feels like a lifetime ago and I’m not seeing my midwife for another 8 days, how do you keep your mind busy and not constantly thinking something might be wrong all the time? 🤯

Any guesses? I had my first nhs scan today, I am 13w4d ☺️

Hey girls! I have a private 4D scan on Friday and baby has been head down for the last 10 weeks of my pregnancy( I’m 30 weeks ) do you think I will still get a good look at her at the scan? 🤍

I have my 12 week scan on Wednesday. Do I need a full bladder? I can't see that it's mentioned on any of my letters etc.

I don’t know if I’m being silly but what is the baseline scan for? We had a consultation and scan and everything looked positive with a dominant follicle etc. I should have asked but I didn’t and don’t want to contact them just to ask that haha. Did anyone do a baseline scan on day 1-3 of their cycle instead of later?

Hey girls, when do we get our MatB1? I was told by my midwife it should be around 18/20 weeks. I’m almost 21 weeks, got my 20 week scan tomorrow and my next midwife appointment isn’t until the end of January. Work keep hounding me for it and I still don’t know when I should have it x

Had my early scan this morning, measuring 6 weeks 3 days. No idea when I ovulated but my cycles are roughly 35 days long which calculated me to be 6 weeks 5 days. This means I am 2 days out, is this normal?

So i had my scan on the 11th of Dec and they told me babies belly is measuring big. (Getting a section 2weeks early anyways) they said they are going to see what happens at my next scan on the 8th of Jan and take it from there. So my question is has this happened to anyone else if so what was the outcome x

I’m debating whether or not to have a 4D scan done but I’m anxious about the possible harm I could be causing. Iv had 6 scans already. 2 standard NHS, early scan, gender scan, 1 reassurance scan after a holiday and 1 growth scan with NHS. If I get a 4D that would be scan number 7 and I’m due another growth scan with...

Does anybody know if you have pay for scan photos at QA now? My last pregnancy they weren’t using the machine so was free not sure if things have changed

I have a low risk pregnancy but has anyone else’s OBs had them come in for a 30 min stress test? It seems to be routine with my doctor at 36 weeks but I never had it done with any other pregnancy. This is a new doctor this pregnancy so I’m not sure what they are looking for in this test?

I’ve just come out of maternity due to reduce movements. I’m 26 weeks. We had the Doppler and also they done a scan babies all fine. They measured my bump which was 25cms and they told me it’s on the small side. My growth scan is on Friday. All I keep thinking about is why is my bump so small? And worrying now about...

I should have been 6weeks+5 today but I went for a private scan and was told they can't see baby. They said it could either be a much earlier pregnancy than I think (unlikely because I have a very regular cycle and track it), or I might have miscarried/be miscarrying or it could be ectopic (I don't have any symptoms...

Been admitted into hospital tonight and told I’m having a growth scan… is this bad? Has anyone else had one?

19 weeks and still not got a bump...just feeling very bloated still. And just like I've put on a few pounds but no obvious bump...this is making me nervous. 20 week scan is Xmas eve.

Don’t trust everything you see on TikTok. I’m making a clock for baby girls room and needed to measure something and remembered of I could use butcher paper and it won’t stick. I was so wrong. Ruined 3 days worth of work. And cue the tears of pregnancy…

We had a private gender scan at 17 weeks I’m now 19 weeks and starting to wonder how often they get these things wrong? From the scan what are your thoughts? We hope to re-confirm at the 20 week scan!

Ok guys so i’m suuuuuper impatient & anxious at the same time due to a previous chemical miscarriage. We have our scan booked in for a week tomorrow, 7 weeks on the dot but i’ve seen that a lot of people get a scan at 6 weeks and can detect a heartbeat, is it worth going privately and getting in tomorrow at exactly ...
