Hi everyone, just wanted to get everyone’s experience with low lying placenta! At our 20 week scan, the sonographer confirmed low lying placenta and has booked me for another scan at 32 weeks to check on it. I had a c section first time round and see it’s common for it to occur. I’m also not worried about having to...

I’ve got a planned xray on my ankle later today. Is it okay whilst pregnant? I’ve read it’s okay as it’s not near my stomach but just wondered whether anyone had any personal experience of this? Thanks

But I don’t know if this result reliable.. the company is called early reveal (Canadian) very similar to sneak peek but is a fairly new company.

Hi All, Recently had our 20 week scan, the facial side profile of the baby looks very different to the 12 week scan and the forehead seems so much bigger, and bigger than other people’s scan images at this stage.

Hi girls. I am 9 weeks and not patient to wait for my scan. Can you please recommend me a good and cheap private scan in London?

I had a check up today and midwife has told me baby is measuring big so she's booked me for a growth scan. My stomach is huge however I still don't think baby is bigger than their gestational age. I've only put weight on my stomach so I feel that's why it looks really big. What happens at the growth scan? Does i...

I’m 30w+3 with my second child and have been advised that I need to have a growth scan early next week as I’m measuring 4w ahead. The below chart has really scared me, specifically how much larger I am measuring vs my last MW appointment. Has anyone experienced similar? I’m wondering if it will be a one off scan or ...

Went to my private scan this morning. All is well and I saw the heartbeat! 🥰 according to my app and last period I thought I was 7w & 2d today but they measured baby at 6w 4d instead and my due date on 5th August 2025! Maybe I ovulated a little late 🤷🏼‍♀️ here is the scan although you can’t see much.

had our gender scan today and to my surprise we’re actually having another girl! definitely thought it was a boy from our 12 week scan, but so excited to have another girl☺️🩷

Any one have pics what there 7week5ish day ultrasound looks like? Don’t wanna wait till 8 weeks so impatient

I had the first anatomy scan at 20 weeks and just had another one a couple days ago at 26.5 weeks. At 20 week scan baby was on the 99th percentile for weight but this one showed baby dropped at 55th percentile. The dr that looked at the scans said it all looks good but Im just a little nervous that baby went from 99...

I had my bump measured this week for the first time, I know it’s not usually accurate but my baby is plotting at 90th percentile. I’m wondering has anyone else had a baby at 90th percentile and what rough weight did they come out has?

Has anyone had a 4D scan at 28 weeks with an anterior placenta how did it go

Hey! So I had my first midwife appointment at 6weeks. I’ve had a letter in regards to my 12 week scan being booked. I’ve had another letter delivered this morning for a different appointment with obstetrics - few days after my 12 week scan. Is this a routine appointment?? I do have high BMI so could it be for t...

Had my scan & bloods on the 29th of November. Still not had the results 2 weeks later. Anyone else the same?

So I measured at 6+2 weeks at a private scan on Sunday and have had a scan this morning at EPU and measured 6+3, I saw everything and baby’s heartbeat but they also found a small haemorrhage around the gestational sac which is obviously causing all of my bleeding and pains. I’m just in a constant panic and worry wit...

I was recently called by my healthcare provider and they scheduled me for a prenatal checkup AND an ultrasound. This will be in January and I will be in my third trimester and now I’m wondering if this is something I should be worried about? I was looking online and they said that most healthy pregnancies have 2 ult...
