I seemed to have misplaced my letter, but do you need a full bladder for your 20 week scan?

No. They will really push you to get at the baby and you don’t want to pop.

No, they made me go to the toilet because I had a half full bladder!

See I was told to have a full bladder for all of my scans, 12, 20, 28 and 36 weeks

I went with an empty bladder and they said it should have been full. I would always say go with a full one because it’s much easier to quickly use the toilet than to try and fill your bladder there and then x

They will likely ask for urine sample before your scan. They ask for a urine sample for any appointment I have. I learnt the hard way because they don’t always tell you, or in my case never tell you. I didn’t need a full bladder

They never ask me to come full or empty

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 😃
