Doppler at 13 weeks

Uhm , why is this thing so inaccurate, says babies heart beat is 235 then 134 AND then 108-9. I’m not even worried or overthinking either because that alone just proved the one I got doesn’t work or maybe Im using it to early? Either way it’s kinda frustrating

Mat b1 form

When did people get their mat b1 form? Was expecting I might at 20 week scan but I didn't and completely forgot to ask about it. My manager at work has asked about it so she can officially let HR know so worried now as I won't see the midwife again until 25 weeks.

Scan tomorrow

My last pregnancy was a miscarriage and I haven’t had a period since so I kinda guessed my LMP and thought I’d be around 7 weeks. Booked a scan for tomorrow, now filling their questionnaire they predict 6+3… I’m really scared that they won’t be able to see anything on the scan, especially after my previous miscarria...

Booking appointment

How far will everyone be when you have yours? I’ll be just under 10 weeks but I’m sure I had it much earlier last time. Also my dating scan was booked today! So scared baby won’t make it till then as I’ve had multiple miscarriages

Gender scan

We want to book a private gender scan and they offer from 15 weeks - I am looking to book at 15+4 but want to get it right and wasn’t sure if I should wait another week… have you had success (and it has been right) from 15 weeks?

Heart attack

I had a heart attack yesterday and can’t get anyone to watch my kids. Was adopted, no family nearby in the state and the two fathers are out of the state as well. Any advice would be appreciated? And also one of my children’s is special needs so I’m not sure what to do. They are at the hospital with me and it looks ...

Accuracy of tests

I'm curious to know when third time mamas found out or started feeling off with their third pregnancies. I got a VVFL on a clearblue rapid detection test, but hubby didn't see it. I had him grab a Clearblue Early home testing kit. Has anyone used them in SUPER early pregnancy, and gotten a BFP?

Stubborn baby

This was the best picture of my son’s face they could get. He’s stubborn just like his older brother and hates ultrasounds 😂 I now have to go back in two weeks for another ultrasound to get everything else they wasn’t able to get this time. Anyone else have a stubborn baby. With my oldest we had to do the anatomy…

Low laying posterior placenta

Im 12 weeks 5 days and I just recently had my NHS detailed 12 week scan, everything fine but I was told my placenta is low laying and posterior…now im paranoid. The lady didn’t seem concerned at all and dr google 🤪 says it can move more up as the baby grows, does anyone else have or had this? X

Scan reassurance🥺🌈🤍

Got to see my lil rainbow baby for the first time today, as well as a lovely heartbeat! I was supposed to be 8+3 but measured 8 weeks on the dot. I know it’s only 3 days difference but it’s made me feel really anxious due to how my last pregnancy ended. Has anyone experienced this too?🤍🌈

Anatomy Scan Results

Had my 20 week anatomy scan this week! Dr said that everything looked great and the baby is super healthy. I was curious to know more about the size & measurements but they didn’t mention it & it’s not on my chart or on the ultrasound picture. Also, photo attached - we aren’t finding out the gender and looked away ...

Anatomy scan

Had my anatomy scan the other day. Tbh I’m a little scared cause he told me she’s in the 4th percentile as she’s measuring a whole week and a half behind my due date and it’s worrying me. He said he wasn’t worried, but he wanted me to come back in 6 weeks to check her growth. He being the specialist we had to go to ...

Has anyone had their 20 week scan cancelled/rescheduled.

I am currently 20+6 I was due to have my anomaly scan today but unfortunately rescheduled to Monday due to a sonographer phoning in sick. I am even more anxious about it now as I will be over 21 weeks by this scan and from my understanding it’s best to have the anomaly scan between 18-20 weeks. Has anyone had anom...
