So this is my first pregnancy I have a high bmi of 47 and I’m petrified my weight is going to affect my pregnancy I’m only 5 weeks but scared that they won’t be able to see baby on scans as I carry most of my weight on my lower belly

I’m waiting until my 20 week anatomy scan (Feb 4th)🥲 I’m so jealous of everyone that knows already🥹 2 of my family members are also due in June. One of them with a boy and one with a girl!

(Don’t know the difference but the one where you quite clearly see what baby looks like) Is anyone else nervous about getting one? I want one and we are thinking about it but also it makes me nervous to see what baby looks like. And I don’t know why!!! Anyone else?

Hi everyone, Just been for my 31 week appointment and I've been referred for a growth scan as I've crossed a line on the percentile chart, is this fairly common? Should I be worried?

6 weeks and 0 days was able to hear heartbeat and baby 🥹

Had my 12 week scan yesterday and got to see our little one. The man doing the scan has a few issues with baby being very wiggly and in the wrong position and at the time I felt very uncomfortable and a bit painful. I saw from my scan notes it’s was a ‘technically difficult’ scan although our pictures are brilliant...

Has anyone else been told that baby has ectopic heartbeat at a midwife appointment? Midwife only counted 125 beats today and heard ectopic beats so have to go back again next week and now I’m worried!

I went to my midwife appointment on Monday and she measured my bump and I’m measuring 3 weeks behind, should I be worried sides referred me for a growth scan but I’m worried something isn’t right now x

I went for my 20week scan today and was told my baby has a slightly large stomach. I was told it could be one of two things 1. Eating to much sugar 2. Pregnancy diabetes The midwife also said that if baby becomes to large then I could possibly have to have induced labour Has anyone else had an experience like t...

I had a 6 week scan today! I’m still nervous, I had two losses before this. They couldn’t get a heartbeat but she did see the flicker and took a video of it and showed it to us. It probably just began beating. This is looking more promising than my last loss. I’m still so worried, I can’t help it. Anyone here have a...

Today Was my 28 week check up. This the first time I was able to see my son face at all . Still kinda hard to see due to my placenta placement but I saw a little . Im not gonna lie, I'm a little curious on why my baby nose looking so big & if these picture placements just a mini outlook not actually the way he will ...

I just recieved a letter for an Obstretics appointment, this is my second baby and I never had this kind of appointment with my first. Just wondering before I’m able to ask my midwife, does anyone know what sort of thing it would likely be for?

Hey all! I’m 38+1 and had my midwife check up today. Was a different person to usual and she said I’m measuring at 42 weeks and booked me in for a scan on Monday. So far baby has measuring well on track and I can’t believe he’s overgrown by 4 weeks since my last appointment 2 weeks ago. I’m freaking out a little a...

We was referred by the doctor that did my 6 week checkup as his feet are a little bent when placed flat. I Hurd nothing so presumed everything was ok. I got a call yesterday saying they have a new head nurse who’s read his file and has. Triaged him to be seen asap on the 27th of December. I’m a little worried now.

For the 10 week scan everyone was saying boy. What do we think now at 12+5 ??

Hi ladies, is anyone’s baby measuring in the higher percentile? I am a little confused by my recent scan. I am 28 weeks and she’s coming in at the 83rd percentile. I have been told she has long legs which we expected as we are tall, but her abdomen is on the bigger side which I believe is not good. I’ve tested nega...

I went for my 28 week midwife appointment today and when she was feeling for baby she thinks I have extra amniotic fluid. Baby and bump are normal size for the number of weeks I am. Been booked for an extra scan this Friday to have a look. Has anyone else been told this and how did it go? A little worried x
