20 Wk Scan

So on my 20 week scan we were running late so my husband didn’t make it in time as he couldn’t find parking but it wasn’t a huge issue as we’d had a private scan week prior. Noticed the sonographer that was calling people in wws a male and just looked very non approachable as in moody type and as I was alone I just ...

Anyway today I went for an early scan ( the reason why it’s because I’m high risk as I did have before an ectopic pregnancy) , they couldn’t say anything, I’m currently 4 weeks, they said it can be 3 options, to early for a sc...

Cervical incompetence?

Hey everyone! We had our anatomy scan yesterday and everything went perfect for the most part! Baby girl is in the 90th percentile 😮‍💨 (her daddy’s is a big guy so we expect a big baby), fluid is all normal BUT the tech randomly decided she wanted to do an internal ultrasound.

12 week scan

Hi! I had a 12 week anatomy scan and they told me my placenta is not as attached to the uterus as it should be. They said there might be some bleeding behind it and there’s nothing we can really do. Just to keep an eye on it & it could be fine. I haven’t had any bleeding at all! Has anyone had this before? And wha...

20 Week Scan Query

Hey, I have my 20 week scan next week - do I need to have a full bladder for this scan? I think the midwife said last time that I didn't, and I can't find anything paperwork from them that says I should, but I don't want to turn up with an empty bladder if it means they can't scan properly? Also, do I need to bring ...

3rd percentile at 32 weeks…

Hi girls, I had my 32 week scan yesterday but it wasn’t very pleasant, they thought my waters had gone as baby’s amniotic fluid was low & so is his weight. His weighing 3LB8OZ at 32 weeks which isn’t the best and has been ruled out to be put on the 3rd percentile. Has anyone else had a similar issue? They’ve never ...

Hey mamas, I’m 36+4 today and had my 36 week appointment. I expected to weigh baby and maybe check to see if he was head down. My doctor only did a swab test and some bloodwork. Is that normal? lol I’m a FTM so I’m not really sure. I also had an abnormal urine test today and she just waved it away and said “I don’t ...
