Had my private scan today at 8w1d but baby measuring at 8w3d so 2 days ahead. Feels more real once you get a scan and get to see your little baby. So glad I got this as I was getting so worried as my symptoms keep flacuating! Telling our 3 year old daughter tomorrow she’s going to be a big sister 🎀🩷

Boy or girl based on nub? We’re having a surprise but thought it would be fun for people to guess ☺️🩷💙

I see lots of people on here knowing the weight or size of their baby at the moment, I’m 34 weeks but haven’t had an NHS scan since 20 weeks which I think is normal? Midwife has measured my bump last few appointments, baby is on 97th percentile but following the line so haven’t been offered a growth scan. Anyone els...

Saw my baby last at 6 weeks 4 days and they were literally a bean 😂 went for my last scan today at the EPU after multiple losses and they’ve put me forward a day at 9 weeks 5 days and baby looks so different just 3 weeks later! A proper baby! They moved around so much it was hard to get a decent pic 😂 DD now 23rd…

I’m tempted to go today but wondering if it’s a little early despite them offering from 16 weeks?

I’m so nervous waiting for the results from my screening tests. I had them on Monday and they said I’ll either get a letter in 7-10 days or a phone call. I dread every time the phone rings that’s it’s them, I really hope I get a letter soon but there’s still a long time to go xxx

So I got the blood test to reveal the gender last week on the 17th the results just came in and I am having want to guess I will tell you this I have mainly boys

i’ve just had my 12 week scan this afternoon (measuring 13+3) for my DCDA twinnies. the sonographer was unable to measure nuchal translucency for twin 1 due to their position (constantly rolling onto belly and side - it was actually really cute!), so i’ve to go back for bloods in about 2 weeks. just wondering if ...

Hi!!! I had my ob appointment today, and they did measured my belly which is measuring 30 weeks and I am 26 weeks pregnant. Also I am diabetic type 2, so it is a high risk pregnancy. Has anyone else experienced the same, if yes, what was the doc recommendation, I have 7th month ultrasound in couple of weeks but I am...

Does anyone have experience with heart murmur? My baby had a 2 month appt and the Pediatrician wants us to see a cardiologist to make sure there's no heart issues. I think it's an innocent murmur because weight gain and growth are great even the Pediatrician said so but made an appt with the cardiologist to make sure

Had an early scan last week which suggested I was 6 weeks and one baby. I’ve been admitted to hospital due to sickness and they have said they want to scan me as my HCG level is showing I’m either further along or could be having multiple pregnancies. Has anyone ever had a scan and the second twin been missed?

Got a scan booked for 7 weeks 6 days, is this transvaginal or abdominal?

Hi! Ive just had my 20 week scan and been told that I have Anterior placenta. Ive had 2 previous c sections ( without Anterior Placenta) and wondered if anyone had any experience of this?

Hey ladies, we want to do a private gender scan so our first can be apart of the experience. We didn’t get one with our first. The Window to the womb sheffield has very limited dates & only shows one date per month. What clinics would you recommend & at how many weeks did you book it? x

Did anyone else find that sometimes at scans baby was in a bad position but the sonographer till used the excuse of “high BMI” to not be able to gain measurements. Our 20 week scan was today the only measure that couldn’t be obtained was the heart, however, heart beat was detected and in range and all other measure...
