We have recently had our scan for our 3rd and final baby, we find out the gender in 2 weeks, any guesses? There’s another picture in the comments! Thank you

Hi, mamas. We had our anatomy scan of baby girl last Friday. While all her bones and organs are growing fine, she’s only in the 3rd percentile. She’s been very active - wiggles around just about every day since 18w. We’re now at 21w 3d. Anyone have a low percentile baby? What should I expect from the additional feta...

You ladies are talking of having anterior or posterior placentas? How did you find this out? The position of my placenta hasn’t even brought up at scans, so I assume everything is fine? Just looking for some reassurance

Can abdominal ultrasound scan be wrong in calculating the gestational age.

Had my first growth scan today! Baby boy is measuring normal, he's on the 37th percentile so perfect & not measuring big, hopefully he doesn't put on much by time I'm 38 weeks as I don't want to be induced but so so happy he's measuring normal and not big already! I know they gain more the further along you get! Pl...

Has this happened to you or someone you know?

Hi! We had our 20 week scan - and they said the baby was measuring on the 39th percentile (still said it was average) I’m slightly worried this is quite small - has anyone else had any experience with this?

Does anyone know what this white line is on my ultrasound photo? It wasn’t there when we got given it, it’s appeared a couple days ago and we’re just confused as to why it’s appeared 😆 Thanks in advance 🫶🏻

Has anyone gone for a growth scan and if so what was your babys weight currently, Ik growth scans aren’t very accurate however I’m slightly anxious about mine after finding out my second baby boy 29weeks is weighing in at around 3lb 3oz already and in the 97th percentile. My first baby ended up being 9lb 2oz at 37 w...

On Friday & Saturday I had 2 spots of blood + cramps.. This panicked me so I called a midwife and she booked me in for a scan at the EPU on Tuesday (tomorrow) Since Saturday I haven’t had any worrying symptoms and don’t feel as concerned anymore, should I keep this appointment at the EPU or cancel? I have already...

Anyone else just had a sudden green light in their heads to start making lists/buying/getting organised?! Had my 20 week scan last week so I think this might have triggered it🟢😆 EXCITING!!?

Does anyone have any early scans booked?

I’ve heard you’re aren’t allowed to take little ones into your (nhs) ultrasounds. I’m going to really struggle to find childcare during the week. Is this a hard rule? Tia!

Posting for a friend , she went for a gender scan but they said they couldn’t tell gender coz of baby’s position and legs crossed but she found this in her photos given, I didn’t want to guess coz I don’t want to get it wrong , she’s now waiting for her 20 week scan in a couple of weeks Thanks girls

I have my 16 week midwife appointment tomorrow do I get to hear the heartbeat or not? what should I expect?

For non-risk mamas, has the 20w scan been your last one? Are you planning on doing private scans? I’m 29 weeks today and it just feels unreal to not have any more ultrasounds before I give birth 😅

Currently I am 7+6 I’ve got my booking appt on Thursday and a private early scan on Saturday when I’ll be 8+4 I’m trying to not rebook my early scan for later today simply because of anxiety, like everything seems fine? Am I better to wait until Saturday!? I’m driving myself mad

Does anyone know what I can expect from a growth scan? Is it just the same as a normal scan, do they just check baby and how big he is? I also have a consultation appointment straight after to speak to someone about the scan, what do they discuss in this is it just the results of the scan? Sorry for the questions!...

Hi has anyone had numbers like this on day 13 and not had their cycle cancelled. I’m really gutted this morning. 1x 15mm 3x 13mm Thank you x

I booked an early reassurance scan for yesterday. LMP & tracking ovulation would put me at 6+6. My scan was showing at 6+1 which i know is only 5 days difference but I feel even "less assured" than when I went in. We seen a very strong heartbeat which was amazing. I've had daily cramping but no bleeding or spottin...
