Gender predictions 🩵🩷

Any guesses? 15+3 when the scan was done. I was told I won’t find out the gender for another couple of weeks till my 20 wk scan. However, I think I saw a little something and the sonogropher kept referring to the baby as a he. Am I reading too much into this?! 😂

20 week scan booked for closer to 22 weeks

My 20 week scan has been booked in for when I’m 21+5 because of how busy they are with ultrasounds. My midwife double checked with the hospital who said it’s fine to have the 20 week scan closer to 22 weeks but I so wish it was sooner ☹️ I did try to ask for a sooner appointment but they weren’t able to. Has anyone ...

How many scans is too many?…

What are your experiences with getting private scans? I’ve had one private scan so far at 12 weeks. I’m now 14 weeks and have one booked for 16 weeks. How many is too many? I get so paranoid and have had complications. The money doesn’t bother me as I’d rather know, but I feel silly. X

Measuring 2 weeks behind

I had my 34 weeks midwife appointment today and my belly is measuring 2 weeks behind. I have a growth scan booked for a couple of weeks time. Just need some reassurance. If this is something to be worried about & if baby is 2 weeks behind will they still allow me to go full term? 1st time anxious mum lol x

Creepy Ultrasound Photos!?!

So my last pregnancy I was blessed with an excellent ultrasonographer who really took time and care to get some good profile pictures at my anatomy scan. This round though all the photos look like my baby'sface is melting off. I guess this ultrasonographer is horrible at taking pictures and the 3 D images and videos...
