20 week scan

I have my 20 week scan coming up and wondering do they tell you on the day if there are any problems or do you have to wait for results?

Yeah most of the time they do or they will ask you to come back 2 weeks later for a further scan just to recheck a few things. I only know this because our first one was born with a cleft lip and palate and that's what happened to us. This time round everything was ok. Good luck for your scan x

If you are seeing a doctor/midwife that day, they would tell you, but the ultrasound tech legally isn't allowed to disclose that information. I had mine yesterday. It was so nice!! Confirmed it's a boy! Haha I got to watch the whole thing. I have to go back next week for more images, but only because baby was being stubborn and wouldn't move to show his face or right hand for measurements. So no need to stress necessarily if you have to go back

Thank you ladies and delighted to hear everything is ok for you how long did it take?

I had mine today, the sonographer confirmed everything looked normal and in proportion there and then, she was really thorough and detailed. Much better than other scans I’ve had! X

Amazing delighted to hear that for you ❤️ how long were you there for? Did you get to hear the heartbeat?

Avatar

no we didn’t hear the heartbeat but she put it in colour to see the blood flow direction, this is my second baby and I don’t recall seeing that with my first! We were in quite a while to be honest, 15-20 mins maybe, again I didn’t remember being in that long with my first 2 years ago. It was actually a really nice experience. We saw the baby swallowing and grabbing her feet xx

it was about 50mins for the ultrasound so I was there for about an hour checking in etc.. but baby wasn't cooperating so that might have pushed it longer

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

Invited to a chuckie cheese party but I don't have money and don't want to tell my daughter that's why we can't go. Does anyone know how their parties work?

I'm not sure how chuckie cheese parties are. If they give you money to play or not if you're in the party. And then I'm wondering if it's an actual birthday party or if they're just going to chuckie cheese. Some guy in my building told me a couple weeks ago that his son's birthday is today and he's thinking of doing chuckie cheese. They sent an invite but I feel so insecure not being able to afford anything. Like if they don't have food for example. Idk what to do.

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!

Owlet

Anyone else’s owlet driving them mad?? It goes off 5/6 times night saying it can’t get a reading and needs a snug fit. My baby is 8 months old so moves a lot. It is driving me insane and I keep end up taking it off! Anyone had similar issues?
