Nub theory

Sent my 13 week scan off to a nubologist. A friend used this one last year and it was correct - we’ll find out in 3 weeks whether ours is! https://earlyglimpse.com/

Regretting having my Dr call my husband about anatomy scan results.

They found a shadow on one of the scan photos and I'm being sent to a specialist for a second scan. I asked my Dr to call my husband because she would be able to explain better. Now he's going on about organ failure, surgery and transplants. Having to live in a group home. We don't even have an appointment for the...

Elevated NT

So im currently 13w pregnant and at my 12 week scan my OB noticed a thickened NT (5.4mm) but he was unsure so he referred me to a maternal fetal medicine specialist. I just saw him yesterday and he confirmed the thickness and verified the nasal bone (which was normal). He also had me do an NIPT test and everything c...

Hi ladies, pls can someone help😓

I’m just a bit worried as I’m lil over 12weeks now and my appt for my 12w scan isn’t until 29th jan .. I’ll be over 13w. Is this ok still?? Too many problems with hospital referrals so they got back to me pretty late. I’m worried it’s not suitable at this stage in my pregnancy?

How do we organize scans?

So I called my doctors at 5wks pregnant to see when I can see them for a scan, they said that I need to refer to a hospital for this, that they don’t deal with pregnancies? Is this normal? First time pregnant so it’s all very confusing. I emailed the hospital a couple days ago with no response. What has everyone e...

Growth scan vs birth weight experiences

Hey! I’ve been measuring big my whole pregnancy and had lots of growth scans. Most recently yesterday at 35.4 weeks and baby is currently around 6.11lb. The scan I had 2 weeks ago was 4.13lb so she’s shooting up the graph. I’m starting to panic about how big this baby might be at full term and wondering if anyone h...

16 week appt

I am 17+3 and had my 16 week midwife appt yesterday. She didn’t listen to the heartbeat and I was a little disappointed ☹️ It’s my 2nd baby and I am still not really feeling movements so starting to get a little anxious- 20 week scan in the 10th of Feb so I guess I will just have to hold out till then 🙃

Gush of blood

Yesterday at work I felt this gush so went to the loo and it was blood i’d say a teaspoon amount, wasn’t bright red but still more red than brown. Later on I had some dark brown blood but quite minimal. I called epu and they’ve offered me a scan on Sunday due to previous losses. Now I’m so grateful to be offered a s...
