Anomaly scan

Hey my friend was telling me today that they don’t really like people wanting to find out the gender at their anomaly scans. What was everyone else’s experience? We were hoping to have it written down and then find out privately but apparently they won’t do this?

I’ve heard too that they won’t write it down for you and think this is pretty common practice.

We found out at a private scan, just asked them to tell us. During our anomaly scan, it was at the very end after she had checked everything if we were hoping to find out the sex. We said we knew, but would like confirmation if possible. She then told us straight away, “well I hope you think it’s a girl!”

NHS scans as a rule won't write it down, they tell you outright or they don't tell you. I believe it's down to liability claims but I might be wrong. If you want it written down/found out a different way you would need to go private 😊 some places do packages where they give you a bundle of decorations, confetti cannons etc so you can find out as a surprise

She asked us if we wanted to know. We said yes and then she just straight up told us 🤷🏽‍♀️

Hospital bag checklist ✨

I feel like a lot of us have been discussing this for a while so I’ve pieced together what we’ve all said (water birth, c section mamas might need more). Other 2 x screenshots in the comments. If anyone spots anything missing feel free to add below ⬇️

C-section information

How long were you in hospital for after your first C-section? I am having my first C-section next week and would be grateful of any advice or information. Thanks

Did any mamas get nails done before c section?

Reading mixed things online saying that we can’t get them done bc the pulse reader? Just wanting to see if they actually really care x

Growth charts

Has anyone else not get access to the baby’s growth charts. I’m not sure if I made it up that I should have access or not.

If you do was it through an app or website.

Sorry 39 weeks and brain fog is crazy 😂

Royal London Hospital maternity Triage

Has anyone had any experience at the RLH maternity triage (6th floor) and if so, what was your experience like?

On two occassions I have been there regarding concerns with my health during this pregnancy and have had an unpleasent experience from the staff on the front desk, seems to be always one in particular where they have been dismissive with the sort of attitude like "why are you here" "we can't help you with that here" It's made me anxious about having to ever go there again, if need be. 🫤
