Community Posts, Tips & Support on Pregnancy Scans

Hi everyone! I’m curious to know if anyone here is currently pregnant with a small baby or has had a previous pregnancy with a small baby that went well. I’m in my first pregnancy, and at my 20-week scan, my baby girl was in the 7th percentile and weighed about 267 grams. So, I had to go back for a 22-week scan on ...

I’m 13 weeks and struggling to find baby’s heartbeat. Does anyone have any tips or tricks to finding it? Is it normal to not find it at this stage in pregnancy? I do have quite a good one xxx

EDD ended up being pushed back a few days so this would’ve been 11+6.. still can’t decide if to book a private scan around 17/18w or just wait till the 20w NHS scan! 😬

How long did everyone have to wait to get their blood results back at 12 week scan? I was told 10 working days and it will come through the post! These are baby’s results for downs etc.. it just seems like a long wait, was it same for everyone else?

I had my 20 week scan last week, the sonographer said measurements were all within normal/expected limits from what she could tell. I then had a consultant appointment (I'm consultant led due to previous post partum hemorrhage), who spoke a lot about how baby is measuring too small already, and how I may have to de...

So I have a ultrasound appointment on Monday and I really want to know the gender to my baby but I also want to wait til birth I just don’t know what to do! What would you guys do?!

Went to my anatomy scan! Baby is healthy he’s okay! He’s perfect 🥹. But I guess he is in the 30th percentile. Uhh I’m not to sure what that means, I mean she did say baby is just smaller than other babies for him to be 20 weeks. Is it a way I can raise the percentile? Eat more ? Or something idk ! Need a little…

I’m 18 weeks pregnant and I bought a fetal Doppler off Amazon and I don’t think it’s working right. It picks up mine where it’s 84 but then it says 41. It did pick up 135 and 144 at one point but no sound of the heart beat. Has anyone had issues with a fetal Doppler? Never have had issues with a Doppler at the docto...

Waiting on NIPT, but what are we thinking? Boy or girl?

Any guesses on what the gender of my baby could be? Just curious what other mommas think

I’ve just checked back on my notes from my 12 w scan and said my placenta was low posterior, I didn’t realise it could be dangers after 20w. I have my 20w scan on Wednesday praying it’s moved. Anyone else like this? Xx

Having steady contractions for an hour an a half now… my due date is 28th of March and I had my growth scan yesterday. Baby boy is measuring at 4lbs 13oz… wish us luck!! 🩵 Update: Thank you for the support everyone. I was put on tocolytics and given a steroid sht to stop contractions and progress baby’s lungs. So…

Hi there, l am thinking about getting an early viability scan next week when I am 7 weeks. Did a bit of research and found out about two methods, transabdominal and transvaginal. It looks like the transvaginal is more accurate as it can also rule out a possible ectopic pregnancy. Any experiences with either?

Does anybody have any experience with a low lying placenta? On my 20w scan it was recognised that I have one. Any word of advice or what to expects? Thanks!🩷

I recently found a lump in boob. Went to the doctor and they sent me to get an ultrasound and a diagnostic ultrasound. I’m really scared since both sides of grandparents had cancer and 3 died from it, and both my parents had cancer, whereas one died from it. Has anyone had to had these test done?

Went for a private scan today and found since my 20week scan 3 weeks ago where baby was in the 50th percentile has dropped to the 13th. My 20 weeks ago scan said I may have IUGR, confused as to what this means and worried it has dropped soo low at 23 weeks. Will contact midwife on Monday, just wanted any advice from...

I am currently 39+2 and was referred for a growth scan 3 days ago for “reduced growth” by my community midwife. At the scan we found out that actually he had had a growth spurt and now I have been referred for induction talks, as they are concerned baby is “too big for me”. He was showing as 8lb 4oz at 39 weeks exac...

So I am sure I’ve had a mmc after my news I got yesterday morning at my private scan. The lady who scanned me has referred me to my local EPU however I still haven’t heard anything. If anyone has been in this situation before, when would they contact me? Or should I call them?

So I booked a private scan 14+6 weeks and the baby looks so different 😅 particularly the head, so I used to think it was a boy based on 12 week scan (in comments) but now might be girl 😂 help is this normal?

Hi, has anyone had 2 transvaginal scans in the space of 5 days? Thanks
