Baby’s nose/head shape 17wks ultrasound

Hello dear fellows! I am sort of freaking out here… I did my non-planned ultrasound today just to check on the baby (we are 17 weeks). And if you look at his face, there is kind of a “slope” or a divot between the forehead and the nose. Is this normal?… I am really worried.. and i can’t send it to my Obgyn because t...

Marginal Cord

Hello, I got my results back from my 20 week anatomy scan and was advised that my placentas umbilical cord is growing out the side rather than the center. Did anyone else have this issue? Did it cause any issues with the baby or during your delivery itself?

RBC detected at 6week blood work

Has anyone experienced this? I made the mistake of going down rabbit holes on Google and now I’m anxious! Although my dr said right now we need more info so not to worry, I’m a worrier 🙃 I will get another blood panel done in 4 weeks to reevaluate/see next steps! I’ve attached a picture of the portion of my…

Gender scan wrong?

Has anyone ever had a wrong gender scan? I'm pregnant with number 2 and we went for a private scan where we were told girl but I'm worried they've got it wrong now we've told everyone 🙈 I really don't mind whether it's a boy or a girl but everyone was so excited that it was a girl (I've already got a boy) that it's…

Feel like I’m in limbo.

I’ve had my 12 week scan and everything was fine in fact baby was measured a week ahead. But now I feel like I’m in limbo again as symptoms are hit and miss, which I know is normal, but it feels like a long time until the next scan and with no symptoms I’ve kind of got no reassurance that it’s all still going ok. An...

Gestational sac at 6 weeks so I

Should I be worried if they can’t see the embryo yet at 6 weeks. They said it could happen. I can’t help but think the worst and have an empty sac. How common is this?

20 week scan

Hi all I just had my 20 weeks scan and quite upset as she rushed me as she was running late. Baby wasn’t cooperating either. They checked all the organs but not the sex. Had to pay £5 for pictures and got the same side profile pic zoomed 5 times. Did everyone go through the same? Or should I request for another scan...
