Baby heart beat

Can you hear baby’s heart beat with a fetal doppler at 6 weeks? I’m paranoid because I don’t have pregnancy symptoms even though I had like 3 positive tests and I can’t see a doctor for another month.

No not that early. Usually at home dopplers can’t pick up until around 12 weeks.

Sometimes 6 weeks is too early for an ultrasound to get the heartbeat.

Dang it 😩

It can be up to 16 weeks before your able to find it yourself, be careful using dopplers though they are not recommended for home use at any stage of pregnancy. You could book a private scan for 7 weeks or after to ease your mind x

oh i didn’t know. why are they unsafe?

You are still very early at 6 weeks so try not to worry. I personally typically don’t start feeling the pregnancy symptoms until closer to 8 weeks. Hang in there mama! Baby will let you know they are there!

thank you 🥰🥰

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

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.

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 😂🥲
