Had a stay in hospital last night after a positive actim partus test (can indicate labour is close), doctor ordered an urgent cervical length scan and growth scan. Baby growing fine but sonographer didn't complete the cervical scan as they said it doesn't change the management if it is shortening. I would have like...

We have our 20 week scan on 2nd of December and was slightly worried about our last scan photos of baby’s feet. Would you guys say his feet look ok?

I’ve just gone on my badger app and seen I’ve been scheduled another scan in January, I’ve already had my 12 and 20 week scan and have another scan on Friday as at my 20 week scan they suspected baby may have Club foot, but nothing mentioned about the one in January, do you reckon this is just a checkup to see how b...

So I’ve booked an early gender scan 15 weeks 6 days. I’ve also booked and paid for our reveal party later that same day. I’ve just come across an email that I had missed at the time of booking which states that the gender is not always visible and reveal party’s on the same day is not advisable. and now I’m worrie...

Got to see my baby girl today For a Growth scan. Her Estimated weight is 4lbs and 6 Oz. Head down. But now know why my back been hurting lol little girl has her back on my back looking up.

My OB says it’s no longer their practice to do checks at every appointment, but they’ll do them if asked. Just curious if anyone is experiencing the same? I’m 36+3, having cramping the last couple of days and think I should ask to be checked at my weekly tomorrow!

I have just had a letter booking me in for a routine growth scan at 26 weeks (on Christmas Eve!). Had my 20 week scan last week and was told everything was fine. Happy to see the baby again but just unsure why I've been booked for one, has anyone else had this?

I posted a few weeks ago about whether I’d need an internal scan at my 12 week scan as a size 18/20 (UK) gal and had lots of responses reassuring me :) I had my exam yesterday and they managed to do an external scan with no issues! The sonographer didn’t even have to press very hard! Just wanted to say thank you to ...

Has anyone been for a 4D scan yet please and could tell me what it was like? All the information I'm reading everyone says different weeks are best so I'm getting a bit confused! I'm 27+2 now and also have an anterior placenta, have a growth scan when I'm 28+2 and I know they say not to have scans too close to each...

How close did they get baby’s weight with growth scans? I need growth scans with my current pregnancy as my daughter was 10lbs and we had complications with birth ect due to her weight, but I’m curious to how close the scans actually were with baby weight at birth if that’s making sense, my last scan said baby was ...

“Hey everyone! Just wondering, has anyone else been booked for a growth scan during their pregnancy? I’m curious if it’s routine for others or if there’s a specific reason for it.

I have had a letter for my 20 week scan on the 4th of December and a letter for the 5th of December to see a consultant. I’m just wondering if this is normal to see a consultant as I thought they only did that if something was wrong with baby. This is my first pregnancy and at my 12 week scan I was told everythin...

So I went for an early scan yesterday, when I believed I was 8w2d, and was told that they couldn’t find a heartbeat. They also said I was 6w1d. They suggested I go back in 2 weeks to get scanned again as it was inconclusive. I’ve had no symptoms of a miscarriage and thought everything was okay prior to the scan bu...

Someone please tell me I’m being silly, can any of my what they call “plus size” ladies who are expecting tell me how they’re 4d scan went if they did one? I’m so scared because my BMI is “high” that they won’t be able to see good pictures of the bubba🥲🥲
