Hi all, we’ve got our 20 week scan at RBH next Wednesday and I’m just wondering if they’ll tell us the gender (or write it down)? I’ve heard that some hospitals won’t do it out of fear of getting it wrong and people have had to go private.

I went to what I thought was my dating scan today, thinking I was 12 weeks, but I found out I’m actually 9–10 weeks. I have PCOS so my LMP isn’t really reliable 🫤 They didn’t give me a due date yet. Does that mean I’ll need another dating scan, or the next appointment is going to be the 20-week scan? I really…

Hey! Got a scan next Monday I’ll be 10 weeks, can anyone share what there 10 weeks scan looked like so I know what to expect thanks 🥰

I had a private scan at around 7 weeks and was measuring a day behind. Had an NHS scan at around 9 weeks and was measuring 3 days behind. The sonographer wasn’t concerned and said to just wait for the dating scan to confirm but now I’m overthinking it and worried babies growth has slowed down? Has anyone else had th...

Anyone ever had this? I went to my 12 week appointment two weeks ago, the sonographer was really abrupt and after 5 minutes of trying “I can’t get correct measurements, you have an introverted uterus. You’ll have to come back in a week” well it’s now been two, I am almost 14 weeks. Just rang the hospital and they sa...

Would love to see what people think baby gender is . Not finding out but thought would be fun to do a little nub theory 🤭 12 week Scan & 20 week Scan

Does the NHS print a photo of your 12 week scan for you? Or do you pay extra for this?

We want to do a gender reveal with our family to all find out together. If we tell this to the sonographer at our 20 week scan, will they write the gender down for us and put it in an envelope if we take the paper and envelope?

Do we still get pictures at growth scans or not?

10 weeks, had some red bleeding on Friday night, not enough to fill a pad but enough to be concerned. I have a scan booked for tomorrow but have started having a tiny bit again, a lot less than before but also some brown blood with it. I’m so so nervous for the scan, we lost our first baby in September last year so ...

If anyone is as anxious as me or just wants to see their little one between the NHS scans I 100% recommend Daisy Scan who are just outside Royston! Jude is amazing she’s so friendly and makes you feel like a human. After finding her when I had a previous miscarriage, I’ve now been back for multiple scans with my r...

Had an ultrasound today she said I may have PCOS when I asked her questions she just said she’s not sure she will send the report to my gp as can’t tell for sure…confused

Hi, does anyone know if Swindon hospital will write down the sex of the baby during the 20 week scan? I don’t want to find out in the scanning room so planned for them to write it down, but apparently they don’t always say yes to this? TIA

I went for a private gender scan today and I told the lady I didn’t want to know what the babies gender is as I am doing a gender reveal later and can she write it down. She was in the middle of the scan when she said “I’m just going to try to see more of his face.” Has she ruined it or could she just have used a ra...

Has anyone had gallbladder surgery? I have my pre op on Wednesday and just wonder what it entails

18 weeks tomorrow, had a reassurance scan today, more photos in comments, do we think boy or girl?

If a blood test said you were having a boy and the ultrasound said girl which one would you believe?

Hi, has anyone experienced an NHS trust willing to write down the sex of the baby during the 20 week scan ( we didn't find out with the last 2 so not sure) i am assuming they won't, in which case can anyone recommend somewhere private? I'm in Herts/central beds ways - TIA

Hi! I wanted to ask if Lister will write down the sec of the baby for you ( I assume not) in which case has anyone booked a private scan that they can recommend? TIA!

Anyone show me your scans at similar weeks ? X
