How often did they scan you once diagnosed?
My baby is measuring under the 3rd centile for weight and under the 5th centile for abdominal circumference and femur length. I am having her this Friday.
I last had a scan two weeks ago on her but I’m really keen to have another one to check her umbilical and placental function.
Can anyone enlighten me as to how often they were offered scans by the NHS in the uk if they were diagnosed with late FGR? We only found out about it at 30 weeks.
Thank you!

I was diagnosed it 20 weeks, but I only had an extra three scans, I think at 28 weeks 32, and then I ended ended up having the baby at 35 weeks (unrelated) my baby was measuring the whole time, he was born on the ninth centre (corrected) and was perfectly fine! He’s just a bit little! Although now he’s nine months old and pretty much as big as all of his peers
We had one every 2 weeks from when they spotted the issue due to fundal height measurements dropping percentile (around 25wks)

Newborn essentials
Went into Mama’s and Papa’s yesterday but found it so overwhelming. Anyone have any recommendations of things we absolutely need for the newborn and what you couldn’t live with out? Which pushchair did you go for? There’s so much to choose from! First time mama needs help 💖

Confused by gender
Hey! Just wondering if anyone has experienced something similar
I’ve had two blood tests one at 9 weeks and another at 10 weeks and both came back showing girl chromosomes. However, whenever my doctor looks at baby on the scan, he can clearly see a nub between the legs. It was still really obvious at our most recent 12-week scan too!
Has anyone had this happen where the blood tests say girl but the scans have looked more like a boy? Did it become clearer later on?
We’re now waiting until our 16-week scan to see if anything changes 💕

SVT during pregnancy
Hello!
Has anyone ever had an SVT during pregnancy? I have no underlying heart issues and no family history, however last week my heart raised to 151bpm and stayed like it for hours. Had to call an ambulance and be kept in A&E overnight - was given adenosine to bring it down but it was very scary. I’m 21 weeks. I’m going to have an echocardiogram to see if there’s anything underlying. Thankfully baby boy is fine! Just wondering if anyone has ever had this as it’s made me so worried?

NHS & appointments
I had my ‘booking’ in appointment yesterday over the phone and they set up my app and things. I have an appointment on there for 16 weeks but I still can’t see a 12 week appointment?
Is this normal?

People touching buggy
FTM and find that people keep touching my buggy like it’s public property every week.
They will move it out of the way, use it as a crutch, walk by and just grab it for to reason, try to squeeze past it or over when I make a hand gesture that I’m actively moving it out of their way. All while my baby is inside it and usually asleep.
It always happens so fast that I can’t even react. As an adult, I wouldn’t come and touch your vehicle...
Does this happen to anyone else?

Supported sitting
Anyone else practicing supported sitting with their 4 month olds? Mine rolls both ways and she holds her neck pretty strong. Would it be okay to try or is this too early?
