12 weeks tomorrow and my nhs scan isn’t until next Friday.. I had a private scan at 6 weeks and was relieved to see a blob with a heartbeat but since then my anxiety has been building and I’ve been thinking is everything okay, is it not okay.. constantly overthinking. Anxiety got the better of me and I booked a priv...

Hi! I’m due my second child in September - have just read somewhere that some hospitals are no longer providing scan photos?? Has anyone had a scan at War Memorial or QA and had to pay for the photos?? Thank you xx

11 week scan! Who else is due on 12th September ❤️

Based on OPK I should be 6w0d today. Went in for first ultrasound and gestational sac is measuring 5w3d and no heartbeat detected. Thoughts on this? Should I be worried?

Hello all! How did you cope between your 12 week & 20 week scans? I am 18 weeks on Sunday and for the past 3/4 weeks my anxiety has been terrible thinking something is wrong ( I have had 3 previous losses and was told this one was ectopic but they misdiagnosed) I’m also feeling little twitches in my tummy and tod...

Anyone else feel like they should be much bigger for the week they are? Went to midwife at the beginning of the week and she said she might send me for a growth scan in 3 weeks time after our next appt as belly looking a bit small. He’s definitely getting stronger as I can feel it in his movements so not worried but...

I’m a type 6 🙂

I was 13+1 here 🥺 how far along were you all when you went for your gender scan? Not sure when to book mine for!

I'm currently 13 weeks + 4 days and had my 12 week scan on Tuesday. Can anyone who understands the nub theory tell me your guesses please? 🩷💙

Can anyone guess the gender? 12 & 20 week scan xx

Top scan is my daughter who is now almost two. Bottom scan is our August arrival, 12 weeks + 5. Maybe a sister on the way?

Has anyone else been sent for a growth scan and CTG at 32 weeks as baby is measuring small? I’m a bit confused as during a private growth scan on Saturday I was told baby was measuring a week ahead and today at the midwife appointment I’ve been told he’s measuring small on the chart 🤷‍♀️ Trying not to worry, but…

I feel like I’m going crazy, I had some phantom kicks postpartum but nothing like what I’ve been having recently. I’ve taken pregnancy test everything is negative, I’m having pregnancy symptoms like crazy and I’ve gonna to the hospital a few months back for extreme cramping they said I’m not pregnant but everything ...

My first pregnancy was in COVID 2020, they’ve booked my first appointment I take it that partners or whoever you have for support just attend scans not midwife appointments?

I've got my 12 week scan the day of my nephews birthday . We will all be going round there that night, should I wait and not tell the news then ? Is it selfish of me. If we don't tell them then I'm not sure when we would see them after that that didn't look suspicious . He will be 9 so I'm sure he couldn't care less...

Any theories? 🥰 Had my 12w scan today!

I can’t believe I’ve made it this far! After a miscarriage around 6 weeks and an ectopic pregnancy in the past, I just had my first ever positive scan 😭😭 I can’t quite believe it and it doesn’t feel real! But it was clear to see a little baby with a little pulsing heart beat❤️ also been told I’m 7+3, 3 days ahead…

Hi guys x I had my 20 week scan and everything was in the normal range, however they said that the diameter of her head (the BPD) was a little smaller than average, measuring at 42.9 mm. Her head circumference (HC) is in the normal range though. She was also lying in an awkward position so I don’t know if that could...
