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 ...

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...

Consultant appointment - update🤰🏻

So yesterday I had an appointment with my consultant due to the amount of episodes of reduced movements I’ve had. While there my blood pressure was a bit on the high side, urine was clear and carbon monoxide was on 0. I overall found the appointment pointless, he just said to me he can’t understand why I’m having re...

My bladder is awful I’m unsure how much to drink! Will have to go to the toilet when I wake up then maybe have a herbal tea and sip water a hour before! How much did you drink before your scan?
