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...

Growth scan

Had a growth scan today and baby’s abdominal circumference has gone from the 73rd% to the 90th% - any one else had this from their growth scan? I’m now worrying about GD?

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 🙈

12 week scan early

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?

Aaannnd breath😮‍💨

This is the reassurance I needed today, we’re not out of the woods just yet and my anxiety levels are still through the roof but it was lovely seeing a little jellybean with a heartbeat.. and for the ultrasound tech to sit there & actually explain what she’s seeing, telling me that it’s a ‘textbook pregnancy’ at thi...

Extra growth scans 😩

So this whole pregnancy, my girl has been measuring on the smaller side. After the last scan they were happy as she was finally following the 10th centile but today the AC measurement has dropped and gone to the 5th centile. I know how inaccurate the scan measurements can be as they said my daughter was going to be ...

Fundal measurements!

Hi, I’ve put a picture of my chart in.

I’ve been referred for a growth scan tomorrow and my midwife did say it’s really ...

12 week scan rebooked (twice)

Hello, I’ve had my 12 week scan rebooked twice now because baby wasn’t in the right position for measurements. I had the same sonographer both times and her manner was… blunt… to put it kindly. So, I’ve been booked in now for the 17th Feb by which point I’ll be 16 + 1 (according to my scan and the date the hospit...
