8 weeks ultrasound! What you guys think, girl or boy 😜

I’m 38 weeks pregnant and I’m due on march fist and 2 days ago I had an ultrasound and my baby is breached and I went into labor and delivery room bc I was in pain and tmw I’ll be having my appointment to turn her around and I’m scared did anyone experience this ??

Had my 28+1 midwife appointment yesterday and she estimated baby is weighing around 3Ib 4oz😩 What weight did they give everyone else?

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...

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. Does anyone else have a tilted uterus and how does this affect the pregnancy? She did mention that I might not show for a long time. Anyone ha...

Has anyone else had a breech baby and needed to be referred after a hip scan? We went today for a neo natal scan on my LO who is 4 weeks old. I then got a call off the medical team saying that an appointment has been booked at the trauma and orthopaedics for a consultation and to book a further scan. Should I be wor...

I had an early dating scan today, they scanned and said everything looked really healthy and she thought she saw the yolk sac but wasn’t certain. Couldn’t rule out ectopic pregnancy so I’ve been referred. Thought I was over 6 weeks but seems I’m 5 weeks and a few days. I’m super anxious and stressing that something...

When did everyone get their 20 week scan appointment through the post? I’m 17 + 3 and haven’t heard anything yet. My 12 week scan appointment came a couple of days after the booking appointment so worried I’ve been missed.

12 week scan. What do you think?

I have a more than a month gap before I go to the doctor again and am thinking of getting a private ultrasound. Did anyone do one during pregnancy and was baby OK when born?

Hi all, this may be a really stupid question (first time mum) at my 20 week can, they said that’s it now, you will get more scans if baby is measuring small or big. How will my midwife know if the baby is measuring small or big? If they measure your stomach how would they know what your stomach measurements were bef...

Got a scan tomorrow as baby measuring big

I seem to have just had a catalogue of errors so far and I'm so done with it. So im considered high risk because I'm on immunosuppressant medication for psoriasis and my bmi is on the slightly higher side due to pcos and many other chronic conditions so im under consultant care. My 12 week scan, I saw the consultant...

I’m currently 25 weeks pregnant

Hey, clueless FTM here! I had my 20 week scan today at 20+2. The measurements of the scan have given us a new estimated due date as she’s measuring at 21+1. Will the midwives and MatB1 be going off the new due date or the original one from the 12 week scan? Thanks! 😊

I have heard that there can be tricky situations when having scans done and they sometimes can’t get a clear picture if you are plus size. Is this correct? Can I hear peoples experiences please x

Just wondering if anybody else has had an increased level of amniotic fluid picked up at 36 week scan? I was told mine is at 8.8cm today, when the ‘accepted levels’ are 2cm-8cm. They initially said this could be gestational diabetes, an infection, or just simply how she is positioned today! However the accepted le...

Had our 12 week scan today, baby no 2 & praying for a girl 💕 🎀

So I had a missed miscarriage at 8 weeks in November and got pregnant not long ago now I could be early on still but basically having so much back pain and belly ache I got an early scan that I had today at 1:30pm. Anyways we went there and they predicted me to be about 6 weeks based on LMP obviously I know this isn...
