For anyone that’s had one, what’s your baby weighing at? Mines 5lbs12 which I feel like is so big🫣 but apparently that’s average and what they expect at this stage!!

Has anyone else been told they are suspected for growth restriction? Curious how others are being monitored or induced. Was told his abdomen was too small Monday, Going in for confirmation ultrasound with specialists today.

Looking to try again next month but obviously even more anxious after miscarriage 😥

Has anyone had an ophthalmology appointment, we have ours today and just wondering what to expect

Anyone else kept their pregnancy a secret?! The moment I found out I was pregnant again SAME TIME as last year, I freaked tf out, I was crying happy and sad tears. Anyways I’ve been fine up until my 20 week scan which was on the 11th Feb 2025, baby and everything else was good until my sonographer did a scan for my ...

Feels like this day has taken forever to come around. Good luck to everyone having their scans today, mines this morning! Praying to God it’ll all go well 😭

Has anyone’s baby ever had an mri? What was it like? We just received a referral for one but it hasn’t been scheduled yet. I know they’re going to sedate but to what level? Laughing gas like or full anesthesia? Is there a time frame you recommend scheduling it? Before bed, morning, around a nap time? Any advice or...

So my NIPT test came back "abnormal" for monosomy X. I just had my NT ultrasound and everything looked perfect. NT measuring 1.3. I know monosomy X has up to a 70% false positive rate on the NIPT test. Do you think baby is healthy, also would love to hear stories if you have any. Thank you!

Ultrasound appointment was great today!! Baby is looking perfect. He weighs 3 pounds, 3 ounces. And he's head down currently.

I am posting for awareness, not to scare. The odds are 1 in 1,000. I found out I was pregnant at 3w + 2d with baby #2. At my first appointment Monday, I should’ve been 9w + 5d. The ultrasound results were that of a complete molar pregnancy. Essentially the sperm tried to fertilize an “empty” egg, resulting in a tum...

Had my anomaly scan today, baby no.3. 20+5 weeks. Baby was measuring on the 15th percentile, approximately 2 weeks behind. The sonographer didn’t say much just that baby was small and they worry when baby is on 10th centile or below. My worry is, I don’t see my midwife for 8 weeks and my next scan is 36 weeks. I...

Apart from your 12 week and your 20 week scan, how many scans do you get for you pregnancy is that it or is there another scan after the 20wk one? Belfast

Had two private scans one on the 29th of Jan and another on the 3rd of Feb. I should’ve been 7+2 on the 29th but the scan measured me at 6+4 with an explanation to say I must’ve ovulated late, sonographer said baby had a strong heartbeat so I wasn’t concerned. Scan on 3rd of Feb where I should’ve measured 8 weeks bu...

We had our anomaly scan today and all was really good when I had my daughter nothing was mentioned about size of baby but this time they said he was measuring normal but on the high end of normal and she mentioned to have a full bladder if we have any growth scans in future when I’ve came home and read my notes he’s...

I’m 10 month post partum and got a 2 positive digital test and I called my ob and there making me wait a month for my first ultrasound I don’t remember waiting this long with my daughter … suggestions on this wait !!

28 week appointment today (im actually 29 weeks) and had my bump measured bigger than normal (32cm) midwife said this is nothing to be worried about but I can't help but feel like I'm going to have to have growth scans

I’m coming up to 20 weeks and am not feeling any movements. I was told at my private gender scan I have an anterior placenta so I know I’m likely not to feel anything for a few more weeks. Between 12-15 weeks I was having flutters which I’ve not had for the last few weeks. I’ve got my NHS scan next week so it’ll be ...

Hey everyone, my 20 week scan is coming up and me and my partner would like to find out the gender so that we can do an intimate gender reveal. However, I’ve heard that some hospitals don’t write down the gender on a piece of paper. Has anyone experienced this with Hillingdon hospital in particular? Please do let me...

Hi mamas, i had my 16week midwife appointment today (I'm 15+6) so a day early. She checked for babies heartbeat but struggled to find it. She heard my placenta and said this sounded really healthy and she wasn't worried. She's asked me to go back for her to try again tomorrow - has anyone else had something similar ...

Hello! I had my NHS scan and they told me that I have low Papp-A I think it’s about 0.3 and they have told me I have an increased risk of chromosomal abnormalities but still not high risk. Has anyone had this? Trying to find info online but it’s making me feel worse! Any help is appreciated TIA🫶🏼
