Is the baby ok in there?

Is anyone else anxious that they can't check if the baby is okay?
It seems like the appointments between NHS scans are so long and having private reassurance scans can be so expensive.
How is everyone coping? Trying to chill and not think about it and struggling 😂

I’m honestly going for private scans and defo costing an arm and a leg 😂 but I have had a few extra through the nhs so I’m like every three weeks. But my 21 week scan will be the last I think 🙈

I was quite lucky with this one as I was allowed reassurance scan in the first 3 months because of previous failed pregancy, but now they have stopped I feel the same, I just won't baby to move so I know its OK, although I am going private on Sunday to find out the gender can't wait to see our baby again. So happy!

Just try and relax that's what I do now xx

I feel the same way..It’s also especially frustrating when I haven’t even felt baby’s first movement..I have a scan next week so literally just counting days.

We’re having an early gender scan on Friday + well-being it’s not too badly priced wttw cost £60 x

Have you had your 16 week midwife appointment yet? I’m 17 weeks tomorrow but just had mine today and we listened to babies heart beat which is a nice reassurance when your not feeling much movements and waiting for your 20 week scan. X

Oh my God, oh my God I hope this is not true!!!! I’m kind of scared

I’ve been throwing up and taking a shit all night!!! I just hope that it’s not what I think it is

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 😂🥲
