Dr is pushing l have an induction at 39 weeks 1 day, l am not ready l have said l want to at least extend with one weeks so they kept going on about still birth, them following guidelines and studies that have been done....

Anyone else’s baby diagnosed with a heart murmur at their 8 week check? If so what’s happened? I’ve been told it can mean nothing as it can be something they can grow out of or it could be a sign of a problem. We have an appointment on Tuesday with the Paediatrician but starting to worry about what’s to come more a...

Hey I’m just querying from booking appointment (mine was 2 weeks ago) and not received a text as of yet for my 12 week scan. I know all trusts are different I’m under Leeds teaching hospital. What’s everyone else’s timescale been? I also can’t log onto my pregnancy notes as I’m still 38 weeks pregnant with my son wh...

For the mamas with 2+ babies, were your ultrasounds similar looking?? I just found out i'm having a boy and saw him for the first time since 8 weeks (20 weeks now) and when i compared him to my daughter's 20 week ultrasound they almost look the same from profile 🧐 Now i'm wondering if they're gonna look the same lmao

Has anyone had this happen. I was told I had it at 5-6 weeks and it caused bleeding until 16 weeks. I’m now spotting again and go for another ultrasound tomorrow to check on it. I’ve also been told I’m high risk for my placenta detaching so I have to be extremely cautious and not over do it. It’s making everyday lif...

At 28 weeks what percentile is everyone’s baby on? My last growth scan at 26 weeks shown that he was on the 8th percentile and now today at 28weeks he’s jumped to the 37th percentile. This is quite a growth spurt so I’ll be having another scan in two weeks but I was wondering if anyone has experienced this or what p...

I will be 15 weeks on Saturday and am booked in for a gender scan. Apparently they can see gender that early. Anyone ever been for a gender scan at that time and it’s been successful? I didn’t find out my first borns gender until 20 weeks

So I'm 22w now but I'm just still so confused because at my 20w appointment they didn't measure how long my baby is? Is that normal? Or did the ultrasound tech just forget to or something?

Hello fellow mama’s and mama’s to be! I am a little confused and concerned by the results I got today for my growth scan. Long story short I just found out I have polyhydramnios, I have had no issues before today so I’m a bit confused and was wondering if anyone else has had this before and their baby was okay?

Boy or girl?

Has anyone else been told they have a low lying placenta? We were told this at our 20 week scan today and booked in for another scan at 32 weeks to check if it’s moved to be safe for Labour. Wondered if anyone has experienced or know anyone who has been through this and it has moved in time?

Anyone been told their bump measurement is behind? I was told mine is two weeks behind but she said it might be because I have a petite frame. My anatomy scan is next week so trying not to worry!

Question about how/when we receive the results for the combined screening tests done at 12 weeks. My son was born at a different hospital to the one I will give birth at with baby number 2 and they obviously do things differently. With my son, I had bloods taken a few days before my 12 week scan and so they combine...

What should I do? My lg has just been in to see the docs with green poo for about 4 weeks now she’s formula fed, doctor just said to breastfeed but that isn’t the case as I physically can’t, I’ve asked for a second opinion but the next available appointment is on The 20th of may!!! I’ve asked for a sooner appointme...

I had my 28 week scan today (I’m 29+3) and baby is measuring in the 97th percentile, and is a chunky 3lb 10oz I have to go back in 3 weeks for another scan to make sure he doesn’t have a growth spurt. Has anyone else had similar estimates and not had a ginormous baby 😩

Still doesn’t seem real writing this , I’ve just joined t. I found out I was pregnant ant about a week now and still doesn’t fully seek real. I am 19 which I know it young but I can help but feel guilty that my child won’t really have many friends to grow up with especially as I’m the first out off my friends to be ...

I had my 20 weeks anomaly scan today, and they seemed happy with everything, but they didn't tell me anything about percentiles? Is there a way for me to find this out, or to see baby's measurements?

Will they confirm gender at a growth scan? I couldn’t get it confirmed at 20 weeks as my partner doesn’t want to know the gender however I would like that extra reassurance can I just ask them whilst there checking? It’s a routine one so will be in the proper scanning department

I just had about 6 notifications come through and i’ve been booked for lots of scans. It looks as though it is once a month. I have tried to call the midwives but they’re unavailable because no one has given me a reason as to why i’ve been booked for so many. Could it possibly be due to the fact I was induced with...

The pictures are not the best but I was wondering if anyone has an idea, even based on the skull shape?! The first picture is from 12 weeks scan and the second on is from 14/15 weeks scan. We will find out in 4/5 weeks but getting curious. 🙂
