Is my 8 week ultrasound normal?

My OB office unfortunately doesn’t have a ultrasound technician so I had to go to another place that offers ultrasounds. It was the worst experience as they didn’t even react or tell me if everything was fine or if something was wrong. And I didn’t even get a print out of the ultrasound. Complete different experience that I had hoped for and this was so important to me as this is my first ultrasound appointment to ensure everything is fine.

My question: the baby’s head is was down instead of up in other ultra sound photos I’ve seen at 8 weeks. Does it matter?

Totally normal, our baby was “upside down” at that stage too! Sorry you had such a rubbish experience, I think they forget that although it’s just their daily job for us it’s a HUGE deal! X

I’m so sorry you had a bad experience:( however at 8 weeks it doesn’t matter which way they are facing

I had 4 scans before my 12 week scan as they thought I was having an ectopic pregnancy, turned out I wasn’t. Anyway I was pregnant with twins and one past the week before my 12 week scan, meaning I never got any scans pictures (would of been nice as it’s a difficult time, would of liked the memory) anyway I was always told you only get scan pictures at your 12 and 20 weeks scans unless you go private and pay! Also baring everything placed correct and heartbeats etc all other things they can’t/wont say as they are too tiny to check or things haven’t formed yet. Like the placenta isn’t formed until week 12 so nothing much to say on that! Xx

thank you❤️appreciate your response so much. It feels so much better to have a answer and know everything is probably ok🫶

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

normal or infected?

5 weeks post c section , i went at the beginning of the week as my wound had opened completely different area to what’s leaking. was told it didn’t look infected. anyone know if this is normal coming off it, it’s only a little amount at a time

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Hi

Hi guys so I’m 25 weeks today and I haven’t felt the baby kick at all yet at the scans she’s moving constantly that it’s hard to get the right measurements my first pregnancy was cryptic so I just want suggestions from one worried mother

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃
