Had a scan 2 weeks ago, but it was all so tiny, so had a scan again today which confirmed heartbeats for both babies, non identical twins. Although due date is September I’ll very very likely have early August babies.

Had my 28 week appointment today - anyone been referred for a growth scan?

Is a 5d scan worth it over a 4d scan?

Anything going for a private 8/9 week scan. What did you see? How was it x

Morning ladies, just wondering how long does the 12 week appointment take in the Ulster Hospital? Just to know what to expect. Thanks

Waking up needing a wee, you finally roll out of bed only to realise your scan is in 2 hours and you’re not sure you’ll be able to fill your bladder in time 😭 it’s the little things.

I’m five weeks tomorrow and I have just booked in my six week scan for next Tuesday I wanted to wait until nearer the time but it was getting booked up and now I feel even more anxious and nervous I feel I’ve put it out to the universe now and I hope everything will be ok from now till then 🤞 anyone get weird…

Looking for information and advice please .. Had my baby in September and ended up with a 3rd degree perineal tear and stitches, my "follow up" appointment is on 5th Feb, has anyone else had a follow up so long after the fact? What do they look at/for etc? Is it worthwhile going to the appointment so late after havi...

Anyone else paranoid that there baby is going to flip? At my last growth ultrasound I was 34 weeks and 6 days and she was head down… however I have been feeling so much movement all over my belly I’m afraid she’s flipped. I feel movement left and right sides, down below in pubic area and even up top just under my ribs!

Does the 12 week scan check for Down’s syndrome and other chromosomal disorders under the NHS as standard? I’ve not had my scan yet

She could see a little bit of blood on my 8 week ultrasound but said it should resolve itself or cause light bleeding. Should I be worried? How common is it?

I just wanted to spread some positivity. I had some brown spotting 2 weeks ago, I was referred to EPU for a scan when I was 6 weeks, they said I had a subchronic haemotoma. On the scan they could see the gestation sac but not the embryo. Today I went back at 8 weeks, everything was measuring perfectly, I saw the hea...

Positive screening for PET/IUGR. Left artery notch seen. And PI increased at 20 weeks scan

I’m 37+1 and have just had a scan to tell us baby is breech. Not the news we wanted and lots of info to process including ECV. Has anyone had an ECV before and if so can you tell me about your experience? I’ve only heard negative things about the discomfort and pain in addition to it only being 50% successful but fe...

I went to the maternity unit due to some cramping. When they performed the ultrasounds. They told me there was a negative yolk sac and negative gestational sac. The doctor told me it was likely this way because it’s too early to detect anything. I’m nervous and anxious because I’ve had a missed miscarriage in Novemb...

I’m exactly 36 weeks today and had a growth scan, they’re estimating my boy is currently weighing 6lb 13 oz - just wondering if this is considered big or not at this stage?

Just wondering if anyone is in a similar situation. I’ve been told I have low Papp-a and I’ve been offered growth scans. My first baby came at 38+4 and weighed 6lbs, not classed as low weight. I’m concerned about how inaccurate growth scans can be and don’t want to be forced into inductions or sweeps if they say bab...
