No heart beat

Hi all Today, I had my first early scan. I just wanted to make sure everything was okay. Unfortunately, to our surprise, the baby doesn’t have a heartbeat. I’m devastated. This is my first time going through this. I already have a son, who is 19 months old. Has anyone gone through something similar? How long did i...

Cervix check

Does every doctor practice cervix check or it is all individual? I had my 36 weeks appointment few days ago and he didn’t mention anything about it. I would like to see where I am since in last few days I feel period like pain on the bottom of my belly and tonight lower back pain as well. Today she was also moving m...

7 week scan

I had an abdominal ultrasound this evening and under the impression I was 7+5, although baby measuring 7+1. I know it’s only 4 days out but I’m pretty sure I know when I ovulated. Is there anything I should worry about?

Do you see it too?

My ultrasound tech said this was the yolk sac and obviously she knows more than me but it looks more like another baby to me… when I’ve seen a yolk sac it looks like a hollow circle. I don’t have another ultrasound until 20 weeks. I just wanna know if anyone else sees what I see.

6 week scan

Hi all! I had my 6 week scan after some spotting and they weren’t able to fine an embryo. It’s two weeks later and my spotting has reduced and I’ve done a few tests and they’re still positive. Has anyone else had a similar experience? I’ve got my first gp midwife appointment on Friday x

No pregnancy?

Went to the early pregnancy unit today for an early scan due to spotting, I’m 6 weeks today and they couldn’t find a pregnancy in my womb or anywhere else. Apparently I have a tilted womb so we had an internal scan but still couldn’t see anything. Anyone have this and have a positive outcome?

Isn't gender reveal ultrasound at 20 weeks?

Normally in all my pregnancies I would have the 20 week ultrasound scan to know what I'm having. The doctor who is going to do my c section since I had one last time last year told me I have to wait til 22 weeks along for the ultrasound! Is that even normal now? That seems so far away even when it's next month. I wo...

20 Week Scan

I had my 20 week scan today and baby was not playing ball at all 😂 in the end they managed to get most of the measurements except a few of the heart as baby was adamant they wouldn’t move into a better position! Any tips for trying to avoid this happening again when I go back in a couple of weeks? 😄

3D scan

Had my 36 week growth scan yesterday. Baby is looking about 6.5lb at the moment. I have GD but they seem to be happy with size of everything. Anyway we got given a 3D scan which I didnt know they do on the NHS. Thought I’d share… Honestly never seen one so clear. Baby girl has her hands on her face and all. 🥰
