Community Posts, Tips & Support on Pregnancy Scans

I’m so scared. Today is my first scan. I’m going for an early scan as I’m 6 weeks and 4 days. I’m scared they’ll see something wrong or that they won’t see anything at all even tho I’ve had 3 positive pregnancy tests. I just want to know everything is okay so I can start preparing. I think it’s just scarier for me b...

Hi all, hope everyone is doing well💕💕 Following a miscarriage about a year ago, we finally got our first positive pregnancy test 🙏🏼. I follow Flo but have irregular cycles - looking at Flo’s data my cycles vary from 35-50 days. The past two have been 45 days. I had my first positive test on Wednesday 22nd, and…

Realise everyone is different but just wondering. I’m classed as high risk and have three scans in for Feb. Realise it is Good they’re being careful but all the extra ones are worrying me. Has anyone had one with a consultant? One of mine says it is with a consultant but hasn’t explained why or anything more then th...

How much are your babies weighing at their anatomy scan? My girl was 14oz

Is it just me or am I the only one who feels they have a small bump for the weeks they are, I’m 19 weeks today and literally feel I look small it’s worrying me that baby isn’t growing properly. I have my next scan on Friday and worrying about it more than I probably should. (This is my first baby)

Eeeek I just need to share my happiness with you all. Today my anxiety got the better of me so I booked in for a reassurance scan . I was measuring at 7 weeks and heard a strong heartbeat 💓 I lost one 4 years ago at 8 wks 1 day so I’m very paranoid about a MMC but hearing that heartbeat today and seeing my little…

I would love to get a copy of the notes during my delivery from the hospital, not for anything sinister, but just so I can read through them and remember the day. Has anyone else done this? How do I do it?

I’ve had extra appts with my pregnancy and scans due to baby being big, problems with not being able to see baby’s stomach on the scan and also I had pre eclampsia in my last pregnancy. but I had a growth scan a few days ago and the consultant I spoke with after the scan said the only appt I have now is my scan appt...

I went for a scan at EPU thinking I was 7 weeks but they did my scan and can only see gestational sac no embryo and no yolk sac, they said I could be 4-5 weeks but going by ovulation date and having a positive test on the 5th of January doesnt make sense how I could only be 4-5 as that would mean I ovulated the firs...

I have a scan tomorrow and I was just wondering if I could keep my belly bar in for this? It’ll be an ultrasound

Does anyone measure their heart rate with a watch at all? If so I’m concerned about mine. I mentioned it to the midwife and she said to probs get it checked out but I don’t want to sit for hours and A and E. And I’m concerned of what it could be or what results will come back

I had a ultrasound yesterday and according my my dates and last ultrasound I had roughly a week and a half ago the babies should of measured 9W and 9W1D however the doctor told me she was concern of a miscarriage since they were only measuring 8W6D , both had great heartbeats and were moving . I did a bit more resea...

So I’m 7w3d today had a scan at 6w1d and they saw a sac with a baby and heartbeat. Am I silly to think that the baby is quite low in the sac? I’m absolutely petrified this time due to an ectopic that happened in Dec23. Feel like this is my miracle as we found out on the 28thDec exactly a year we found out about our ...

I had a scan this week, thought I was 6weeks but measured 5w4d sac but no yolk sac or fetal pole yet. Been asked to go back in a week (under consultant special care due to a late loss) to see how it’s progressed. I’m stressing. Anyone had a positive story when they went back for another scan and could see yolk sac ...

Had my 12 weeks scan today which I wasn't expecting but due to the storm yesterday everything at my midwife unit was crazy so they were trying to get more patients in and scammed this weekend whilst they had a team in to cover. So I had a call this morning to come in and seen my little bean wiggling away. I'm not fi...

13 week scan

Just had our 7 week scan and it’s twins! We have a 15 month old and are going to have three under two… SCARED

I went for an early private scan today. Going by dates I thought I would have been exactly 7 weeks today. He’s told me I’m about 5w3d and he could see the pregnancy and yolk sac but no embryo was visible. Obviously this was not what I was expecting at all as I was expecting to be around 7 weeks and to be honest the...

Hey girlies. We’d like to have a 4d scan but don’t know when is the perfect time for that. Currently 25 weeks. Any suggestions? Also can you recommend any private practice for that? Thank you. 🤩
