Anyone else’s baby growing really small? Down for regular growth scans and baby girl hasn’t grown in the last two weeks making her drop below the safe zone. Was told for the last two months I was having constant growth scans so if she drops they need to get her out and now it’s happened they are saying scans aren’...

Private scan and children

Does anyone know if your kid can come with you to an early scan that you book privately? I know they can't with the ones on NHS. We haven't told anyone we're expecting and haven't got anyone that could easily look after her for a while so if she can't come in I might have to go in on my own while my husband is with ...

Measuring way ahead

I had my 28 week midwife appointment today but the midwife said I was measuring 32 weeks! Has anyone else had this? Not sure if this is normal or not, I do have extra growth scans booked in so I’m not overly worried.

Does/would it bother you if there is wrong info in the chart after a doctor visit?

My daughter had a regular checkup (9mo) and there are multiple things that are wrong in the after visit summary. It says she’s taking a multi vitamin. Which she’s not and it was never even brought up. Says she says mama, when we blatantly talked about her NOT saying mama. And at her 6mo there was also inaccurate inf...

Extra fluid around baby

I went for a growth scan yesterday at 28weeks and the scan showed I have extra fluid around baby. My largest pool was 7.6cm and I had a scan at 25weeks (midwife measured my bump over the 97th centile) and my largest pool was only 4.8cm! Saw an obestrician and she wasn’t too concerned but my head is in a spin 🙈

If nhs scan you and find you not to be 12 weeks yet and a few weeks early will they re scan you at 12 weeks or leave it until 20 weeks? Has anyone been in this situation before?
