Low lying placenta

Hi; I recently had my 20 week scan but had to re book as baby was facing the wrong way. Went back at 21 and 6 days baby is fine but I’ve been told I’ve got a low lying placenta. I have really bad anxiety as it is. Has anyone else had this ?

Although I've not had any bleeding yet, the sonographer said that it's likely I'll get some. Has anyone had one of these, and measured small, and i...

Growth Scan

Can anyone help me understand what the results of a growth scan mean. I had a scan a couple of days ago at exactly 28 weeks, and baby was ahead of her expected growth. However, each body part had different measurements. For example, her head was 28weeks and 4 days, whilst her stomach was 29 weeks 4 days. Is this nor...

2nd pregnancy

I am currently 18 weeks pregnant and had my 1st baby 9 months ago. I feel this baby kick all the time ever since I was about 16 weeks. When I told my dr she said the baby would have to kick pretty hard in order for me to feel it. So it kind of makes me nervous maybe they got my due date wrong and my baby is older? I...

How big is your baby measuring and how far along are you?

Had a growth scan yesterday and baby is 5.3lbs. I’m 34 weeks. Do you think it’s a good weight?

4D scans & anterior placenta

So I’ve got a 4D scan next week and I’ll be 26+6 days so pretty much 27 weeks, I’ve looked and apparently 27 weeks is a good time to get a 4D scan when you have an anterior placenta. Has anyone got an anterior placenta and has a 4D scan, just curious as to how clear the scan was and how well it went?
