Community Posts, Tips & Support on Pregnancy Scans

Hi ladies This post might provide some reassurance or reduce panic to anyone worried about size. At my 36 week midwife appointment I measured in the 3rd percentile of the fundal height measurement, with no growth from the week 34 measurement. Got referred for a growth scan and the baby is estimated at 3.2kg (7...

We have our gender scan tomorrow but I can’t wait!!! 😝 Any guesses on the gender based on our 12 week scan? 😝

I have a guess but what do you think! 💙💓

Hey we just had our 2 year appointment and they told us how tall he might be when he’s an adult at 5” 10! Did anyone else find this out?

Hi ladies, So, I was so excited to do an 3D or 4D ultrasound, and today I asked my doctor about it. He told that I am not going to do it because the clinic doesn’t offer it 😩 and I am so sad. I really wanted to see it at least once. I see all these other girls posting their 3D babies, and I feel so jealous. Is…

Been referred for a growth scan at 38+1 due to static growth since 36 weeks. I know this is common and can be due to a range of things but just wondering peoples experiences, has this led to early induction/c section? Waiting for the call to say when it is but within the next 72 hours. Should we go with bags ready?

Just had my first appointment with a midwife in Birmingham. We want to have scans/give birth in Coventry as we’re moving in the New Year. Midwife told me to call Coventry myself to book my first NHS scan, so I did. But Coventry won’t speak to me, adamant that a midwife must book the first scan for me. 10+2 already,...

12 week scan what to expect . How long does the appointment roughly take . Do they do the scan straight away and then everything else ?

I have my gender scan booked for NYE but I’m just so excited!! Would love to get your guesses. Was 12+4 here

I have my 20 week scan in the afternoon on Christmas Eve and also my whooping cough vaccine is booked for the same day in the morning. I know this may be silly but it is okay to have this vaccine before having the scan on the same day, will it affect the scan in anyway? Or is it better for me to reschedule for a dat...

Had our scan, looks to me like a girl by nub theory but I’m not sure, what do people think???

How often are people getting any private scans because they’re anxious? I’ve had one 2 weeks ago, and now considering to get another one in the next week or so 🤯

I have an anterior placenta so the hospital keeps telling me not to worry. I had a scan last week and everything seemed fine but shouldn’t I be feeling something? I do keep having a weird sensation like there’s extra pressure internally in my pelvis like a thudding feeling but I don’t know if that’s her or just pre...

So I’ve got my early scan on the 2nd January just not sure if I should wait till my 12 week scan or announce it after my early scan, when did everyone announce there pregnancy ❤️

I had my second growth scan and technically baby only gained 2 lbs since prior one but I'm 35 weeks and 5 days and he is approximately 6 lbs 11 oz, is this large for being just shy of 36? It looks like some of his growth has slowed down in comparison to before. (Yes, still waiting on doctor to actually review growth...

Had a scan today I'm 8 weeks and I can't find my baby in my scan photo!. I feel like Rachel out of friends 😂 I know there there but I just can't see it! Please help

Have ours tomorrow, has anybody had theirs yet and how did it go?

Has anyone had an early scan that turned out to show you were under 6 weeks? What did your scan show? I went into my scan thinking I was 6 weeks but it turned out I was 5+6 weeks and all they saw was a yolk sac. No heartbeat just yet. Has anyone had this? Was everything ok in your follow up scan?

So Thursday I will be 38 weeks and I have never made it this far. What does the doctor do at your 38 week appointment? I've already got the swab B test. I'm just wondering what to prepare for. Thank you
