usually not early on, I would say only at 20 weeks scan they can properly access it or if you have a private scan between 15-20 weeks ask there.

They can tell you at your 20 week scan.
I asked if she could tell at my 12 week and she said it looked as though it was posterior this time.
Just ask the sonographer at your next one :)

I found out mine was anterior at my 16 week private scan, on the 12 week I still had the yolk sac x

I found out mine was posterior at a scan around 14 weeks, which was then confirmed at my gender scan I had done around 16 weeks. It's hard to tell by the picture as you don't know which was is up when you look at it.. my baby was sat up, bum down, but the scans still show him looking like he is lying down, so it's hard to tell by the pics x

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 😂🥲

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 😃
