Repeat anatomy scan

Did somebody had to repeat anatomy scan? Baby girl was in awkward position and wouldn’t move at all so all checks couldn’t be completed. Feeling anxious as first time pregnant, is this normal or does it mean something wrong with baby ?

Yup if I remember correctly it happened with both of mine, they only saw like half of what they needed to, went back 2 weeks later and scan was completed

Yep I did with my second - she was in an awkward position so couldn’t get all the heart measurements.
Came back for another scan and everything was perfect - and she is a very healthy and happy 10 month old now.

It’s completely valid and normal to be feel anxious, but also completely normal to need a repeat scan. Easier said than done but try not to stress, the sonography would have said if they had concerns xx

I had to have mine repeated because my boy was awkward and refused to move despite our best efforts (cold drink, walking about and lying in different positions), he was also using my placenta as a pillow for the first one and they thought I might have a low lying placenta. When I went back for the second scan all was well and he'd moved off of my placenta and it wasn't low lying anymore. Try not to worry, they would have said if they had concerns (they told me about my placenta), you'll get to see your baby again soon 😊.

Sometimes they just won't move and they can't get the view for measurements. It's nothing to worry about. I had to go back with my first because she just wouldn't budge, I had to do so many weird bum/hip wiggles trying to get her to move but she was comfy haha 😂 Almost the same with my second but they dropped the head of the bed so I was at a weird angle and he moved. If there was anything wrong they'd tell you. Don't worry 😊

Yes, I had to have a repeat scan, baby wasn't playing ball. My husband couldn't make the first scan (he was away with work) but was there for the rescan, so baby wanted Daddy there 🤣

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Baby Movements

Hello, I’m a FTM currently 18W5D pregnant. I’ve been getting this tugging feeling in my stomach after I eat, it’s uncomfortable but not painful. I don’t know whether that’s the baby moving or round ligaments pain.

I’ve also been getting round ligament pain which is either a sharp stabbing pain or a stretching sensation. These happens whether or not I’ve eaten while the tugging feeling is only after I’ve eaten.

So, could the tugging feeling be the baby or something else.

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.
