Community Posts, Tips & Support on Pregnancy Scans

I got a letter in the post saying I have a scan booked for 30 weeks. But when I saw my midwife at the 28 week appointment, she said I was low risk and everything looked fine and on track with baby. Should I be worried why this scan has been booked? With no explanation.

I’m going for my first private scan tomorrow. Based on my last period I will be 8 +2. When do you plan on telling your close family, especially parents?

I have a growth scan at 32 weeks so in 3 weeks time. Should I be nervous, they say they're only doing it as I was born with a heart disease and there's 4% chance my boy could get it

Scan at 12 weeks + 4 days, not sure if it’s the clearest but can anyone tell from the skull?

So have my first midwife appointment today & I saw an interesting post on TikTok where a woman was asking whether or not your partners go along to ALL your appointments? Or just scans & the important ones? Then I was curious to see what others on here are doing?!

Hey mamas! Is it true that nurses don’t tell you the gender of your baby in an NHS hospital?

Might be a bit late now as I’m 32 weeks. I didn’t even meet my midwife until the second appointment, the whole thing was done by a student without her in the room and that was the first and only time I was weighed. She’s forgotten to refer me to physio for my SPD (I’m in agony and can barely walk) dAnd just to top i...

baby daddy went on and on about how he wanted to come to the appointment and was excited to hear how the baby was doing and if i could pick him up from work early so he can make it. when we were at the appointment before the dr came in he's falling asleep then as they were using the doppler and measuring my stomach ...

I have a growth scan on this coming Monday and although I get to see my little girl again I don’t no what to expect in these scans

I was told at my 20 week scan that I have an anterior placenta, has anyone else been told this? Do you ever worry that because you can’t feel baby as much you think it’s reduced movement? I know I won’t feel him as much but I keep worrying that I’m having reduced movement 😭

I took a clear blue on Saturday and it said pregnant 1-2. I just want to know others experiences of do you think you was 3 or 4 weeks pregnant when this happened? I have booked a private scan a week on Sunday to check for a heartbeat due to a loss before our son but worried I won’t be 6 weeks if it’s 3 weeks pregnan...

When you have a scan through the NHS can a partner be in a room?

My last appointment was 3/17 they said baby was healthy and I have one coming up the 14th. I'm just feeling less movements I am about 17-18 weeks should I try to go in sooner or wait for my appointment.

What’s everyone’s baby weighing? I’m 33 weeks and 4 days and the hospital has me worried that something is wrong. I know my baby is on the smaller side, but they are saying everything is okay. I’ve had scan the last few weeks checking babies growth, the placenta and the fluid around baby. At 30 weeks baby was 2lb ...

Hey ladies, I had my 12 week scan today and it was one of the best experiences ever 🥰 Just wondering your thoughts on the gender?

I don’t have gestational diabetes and they said that’s usually the reason?? I then had to have my blood pressure monitored as it showed quite high. Has anyone else been told baby has got a large stomach? This worries me alot.

I did my glucose test yesterday and passed! No more ultrasounds for me until 36 weeks just routine ob checkups every 2 weeks. Anyone else?😢 my last ultrasound was at 23 weeks how am I supposed to go so long!!!
