Don’t be embarrassed it’s just want she said. It’s okay not to know it’s your first pregnancy. You’ll learn as you go and some stuff you won’t even remember the names just what they are in the end

hey! no need to be embarrassed, it's totally normal to have questions – an anatomy scan is basically a detailed ultrasound to check on your baby’s growth and development, and they’ll look at all the important stuff like the heart and brain, so it’s pretty cool!

this is what the 'Heal Baby Care App' mentioned… hope it helps!

"Good morning! An anatomy scan, also known as a mid-pregnancy ultrasound, typically occurs between 18 to 22 weeks of pregnancy. It’s a detailed ultrasound that checks your baby's growth, development, and anatomy, including the heart, brain, and organs. This scan can also help identify the baby's sex if you wish to know. It's completely normal to have questions, especially as a first-time mom!

Is there anything specific you’re curious about regarding the scan?

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 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!
