She just said there's the baby on screen up there. Done the scan and said all good. I got up and as she didn't explain anything I said c...

We’ve been for a scan this morning, 40 weeks today, and they’ve measured baby at 8lb 7… when/what is big?! I don’t know what a ‘normal’ size is!

The week is finally here. My scan isn’t until Thursday afternoon but I can see the end in sight. Best of luck to those having scans too!!

So I'm actually going to be 13w on Tuesday, And I did take the nipt tests the same day I got this ultrasound so now I'm just waiting to know the gender of my first baby! 🩷🩵👣 I thought it'd be fun to hear some people's guesses, as I know some mamas can tell by just looking at the baby, even without seeing the babies…

So I am 15 weeks, we have our gender scan next weekend and I can’t stop panicking that something will be wrong. My 3 year old really wants to come to the scan but I’m too scared to let him in case something has gone wrong. This is another fertility baby that took 3 years and the inbetween stage where I have a big bu...

Has anyone had or understand what the presentation scan actually is? My midwife said that it is a handheld thing (if I remember correctly). Will we see baby or is it just a little monitor that they look at to check if baby is head down??

I have been advised I have SUA with my second pregnancy. Other than this, everything else appears normal in the 20 week scan. Has anyone got any positive stories regarding this? I'm very nervous for our little girl 🥲🥲

Hello everyone, I had a TVS ultrasound today based on my last period, which would put me at 6 weeks. However, my doctor could only see the gestational sac and not the embryo. She mentioned that I’m likely in the very early stages of pregnancy and has scheduled a follow-up check-up in two weeks. As for my symptoms, I...
