Gender scan

Hi all, I’m 16+2, I have my gender scan today and I’m feeling so many different emotions. However I am sooo worried that they’ll tell me I’m not far enough on for them to see the gender and I’ll have to wait. Is this a thing that can happen? I don’t know why but my dates changed so much and I’ve been told my baby might not grow as much with having low PAPP A and now I’m genuinely worrying about it a lot.
Have any of you been sent away because baby wasn’t measuring right?
Thanks Xxx

I had mine at 16 weeks 2 days and they got it and it’s so clear 😌 good luck!!

I got mine at 16+3 and was re scanned 6 times due to poor position. It happens unfortunately x

Might not be to do with your dates! You need baby to play ball on the day. Best of luck hopefully baby reveals all xx

I have my gender scan today too! I’m 17+3. Let’s hope we both get to find out today. Good luck xxx

I have mine today too. 16 weeks and 1 day. Drink fizzy drink and dance before you go in xx

Thankyou everyone, and hope everyone’s scans go well!!! I know that they can be awkward but what I actually meant was has anyone gone in at 16 week and actually been told that they aren’t 16 week (like 15 week and so many days) so they can’t scan you? Xx

I don’t think they can’t change your date now as you’ve had your official nhs 12 week dating scan it won’t be questions by anyone xx

Hey I had mine and were havin a little
Girl xx

I had mine at 15 weeks and they could see no problem x x x

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

I have a feeling like I might get attacked from this but I’m going to say it anyways. incognito 🥸 GLP1s being mainstream for regular people who are NOT diabetic or morbidly obese is bad for so many reasons 💉💉💉

Side affects, long term dependency, supply shortages and costs, regaining the weight back as soon as you get off them.. all that ASIDE how do people not see just from a zoomed out perspective how crazy it is. I can’t imagine being someone facing food insecurity in an underdeveloped country and watching westerners give themselves daily jabs so they can lose weight while still eating a calorie surplus/ crappy foods. It’s giving hunger games when district 12 Katniss finds out at the party at the capital that people eat and then take a pill to make themselves sick so they can 🤮 and eat some more. These ads running ozempic everywhere are disgusting, and then getting amazing athletes like Serena Williams to push them talking bout “i’ve never been healthier” girl you were an OLYMPIC athlete wym??

Planned c section

Has anyone had a planned c section and been home the same day?

Getting pregnant after c section

When did you get pregnant again after a c section? Our plan was always to have 2 under 2 but that is now out the window because I had an emergency section. I know they say 18 months and we will be sticking to it (as much as I don’t want to) but I’m curious how quickly you got pregnant after your section?

Movements

I’m 28 weeks tomorrow. Yesterday I had loads and loads of movements but today I have only felt small flutters and a couple of kicks throughout the day. I get so confused as some people say they don’t have a pattern but others say they do. We have a Doppler so used it this evening and could hear the heartbeat and then moving but does anyone else get quieter days of movement than others? I am seeing my midwife tomorrow so will check but just find myself getting anxious about it and don’t know when to get checked. I know they encourage it but last time as soon as I got to triage baby started moving loads!

Movements With Second Baby

Im 17 weeks pregnant with my second baby, but I still haven’t felt any movement. I was expecting to feel it early with it being my second pregnancy, so was just wondering when other mums felt movement with their second+ pregnanices? I have a lot of anxiety this time round after this pregnancy started with twins but I lost one after everything looked to be going well, so desperate to feel some movement just for a bit of reassurance. Thanks in advance 🩷
