I'm currently 32 weeks. I had an early scan as I was considering abortion. They gave me a date around May/June. Then when I booked it with the midwife they calculated start of July and at my 20 week scan they measured baby on the 94th percentile. I'm absolutely huge and baby has dropped already and is in position. I...
Hi I’m looking to book an early reassurance scan. My last period was the 15th of March but I didn’t test positive until my period was two weeks late! So I’m unsure when to book a scan as I could be two weeks behind according to what the app says incase I conceived later on? The app says 7 weeks 6 days today. Th...
Been for a growth scan, baby has gone from being inbetween the 50th and 90th centile 4 weeks ago, to now 10th and 50th…..they’ve now pushed my scan to 3 week early…. Concerned he’s not now growing like he should… Anyone had this??
My scan picture is at 12w5d Lol I have no clue if they’re reliable. The website has tons of good reviews saying all reliable , but Google forums have many reviews saying it was wrong hahah. Here is the picture I sent them, and I’ll post their reply and drawings in the comments
Hi, having being referred for a growth scan due to my measurements being lower than expected… the sonographer has identified that the femur is measuring less than 1% (60.9mm). The consultant has told me I’m too far along for them to do any further checks so I’ll have to wait until delivery but I’m beside myself as ...
How soon are people getting their first NHS scan? 9 + 2 due to see midwife for the first time tomorrow
It was finally scan time for me today! Measuring at 12 + 4 and I am SO relieved. Due 17th November. Baby wriggled none stop so photos weren’t very clear but it was amazing to see! I have no idea what this nub thing is but if anyone has any guesses let me know! So happy and good luck to everyone having theres soon.
Hi lovelies, My baby was on 22nd percentile (28 week growth scan), then dropped to 8th on 32 week growth scan. I had a Doppler on Tuesday which went well, and a further growth scan this Tuesday coming. Wondering if anyone has an estimated small baby, and what their birth plans were after seeing the consultant?...
Hello, had my 20 week growth scan earlier today and initially it all appeared well and we’re having a little boy. At the end we were told us they could see only one kidney and I’ve been referred to KCL for further investigations. Anyone had similar experiences and 1. Has it been an error?, 2. Has anyone have experi...
Look how wrong the fundal height measurement has been for me! So much worry for nothing at all… if anything baby is on the big side! Hopefully this will reassure some mums to be like me 💕
Has anyone had to go back for a growth scan from having 2 blood vessels from the placenta to baby rather than 3? She said that it isn’t uncommon but I’ve never heard of this before 🥹 I had preeclampsia in my last pregnancy so I’m hoping this won’t mean I am at higher risk again
Hi, I had a growth scan today at 31+3 and baby was measured. Here is the growth chart. Can somebody please tell me. Is it a nice growth?
I had an early scan at 16 weeks to find out the gender, baby was in such an awkward position the whole time and we tried for ages, eventually the sonographer said girl but I felt like it was more of a guess to get us out of there! I had my 20 week scan last week and thought I would confirm the gender but the cord w...
Hi all I'm in a bit of a panick and confused which numbers I'm meant to call for what reason. Context: I'm 2 months pregnant, had my first antenatal appt last week where they took my bloods and a vaginal swab. I was told I'd get results in myMFT/myChart app but I've not got anything and I need to know what's wron...
Has anyone had to have their 12 week scan internally? I have a backwards tilted womb and it's been recommended to get clearer measurements. What do the photos come out like as i understand it's taking the image from a different angle? Thanks!
I just wanted to have a little panic. I almost 8 weeks, scan booked in sat. I've had mmc before and I feel like my symptoms have lessoned and my last successful pregnancy, I had HG. I'm just so worried. I still have nausea. I just can't do it again, it's not just the mmc it's the dealing with it all. The waiting for...
