Small chin, 20 week ultrasound

Does my baby look like they’ve got a very small chin? The ultrasound tech didn’t say anything about it but now I’m worried. Does anyone else’s ultrasound look like this?

With my first baby the scan looked like she had the longest chin ever 😂
She was perfect when she came out.

They aren’t an exact outline of your baby and it looks fine to me, baby will have been moving around and the image will be blurry.
Like if you take a photo on your phone with the people in it moving, things will look a little off.

If you have concerns you can ask your midwife but honestly scan photos get all sorts of weird results.

Babies chins continue to develop after they are born so it’s totally normal for it to look small at this point or even at birth. I’m sure I’ve read that it is to help them latch for feeding as a prominent chin would be in the way.

We had 6 photos with our scan and her features look different on each one of them. I wouldn’t give it another thought, I’m sure they’re perfect

Please don’t over analyse the scan pics. I’ve just had my 20 week scan and leading up to this point I’ve been driving myself crazy googling how to analyse my scan photos and was convinced my baby had no chin and not enough fingers but I had my 20 week scan and everything looks perfect 💙. Trust the process and have a 4d scan at about 28 weeks where they actually resemble a baby 😂. Don’t have a 4D scan at 16 weeks, they do not look like a baby 🙈

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Fed up

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?

32 weeks

32 week growth scan and clinic appointment. Did anything unusual happen? Ive heard a few people saying 32 weeks was when they had a induction date
