Reassurance scan after a successful pregnancy

I got a positive test last week, I tested too early got a negative and a few days later a positive and I made it to 5 weeks now. I experienced 3 early miscarriages before I had my baby and I wonder if I can request an early scan this time for reassurance. I keep thinking I can’t be that lucky, it was our first try f...

Private Gender Scan

So I’ll be 15 weeks exactly this Friday and we want to do a private gender scan at Window To The Womb. I’m not sure whether to wait another week to give longer for development, or is it pointless waiting as they say from 15 weeks for a reason? Any experiences would be great!

Twins!!?!?

I had a scan at EGU today as I’ve had spotting since last week. The person who scanned me asked if I took any ovulation meds to get pregnant which I haven’t. Then proceeded to say it could’ve been twins. This has sent me into panic mode picturing caring for twins with my 2.5 year old. She said shes not saying I have...

Baby’s weight at 20 weeks scan

Has anyone been told baby’s estimated weight? I am guessing baby’s est weight at birth? Went for my 20 week scan yesterday and the sonographer said the baby’s estimated weight is 4.6 I was so busy looking at the baby I forgot to ask what she meant but it stuck in my head. So what do you think it is?

At home fetal doppler

Are there any moms that use a fetal Doppler (daily) to listen to their baby? I’m 12 weeks and I love listening to my baby, but Google says you shouldn’t be using it daily. I don’t understand why it would be harmful, but many moms say that’s incorrect. Obviously I don’t want to do anything that I shouldn’t be doing. ...

Not got appointment yet.

I am past 10 weeks now and still haven’t received any midwife appointments. I chased up but they said you’ll get it soon and that apparently they’re too busy. I have the scan appointment in 2 weeks which is the 12 week scan. Just wondering if it is ok not being called in for check up still? Ps. Im in Hertfordshire

First ultrasound?

How do people get ultrasounds so early. I understand if you have had complications before or are doing IVF but my first appointment isn’t until 10 weeks 3 days and that’s not even an ultrasound. I have to schedule one after that appointment. It seems like everyone these days gets it way sooner than that
