Boutique ultrasound

Has anyone used a boutique ultrasound place? I’ve seen posts about doctors not recommending them. But online it seems people think they’re good to see baby when doctors aren’t willing to provide more scans. I had a scan at 8.5 weeks and my next ultrasound isn’t scheduled until I’m 21.5 weeks along. Just seems like a really long time from now.

I’m going to one tomorrow because I’ve only seen baby once and won’t see her again untill 20 weeks.

I visited ultrasound boutique often enough and was as calm as possible and satisfied with the service as possible more than in the hospital. There is a woman who works in the pregnancy department with pathologies idk how it calls correctly, so for 40 minutes she told and showed me everything in detail. Definitely worth the money. In the hospital, it usually took about 10 minutes and not too many answers. 🤷‍♀️

Baby boy arrived yesterday 💙

Baby boy arrived at 40 weeks & 5 days. Born yesterday at 10:32am after only arriving at the hospital 8:30am. Didn’t make it out of triage, no time for any pain relief either 😭. But he’s here and safe and worth being overdue for. His older sister is already so besotted with him 💙🩷

My whole world 💖

Baby Amelia arrived at 15:14 on 08/06/2026 weighing 7lbs 7oz.

I was in hospital since the 4th, tried 3 methods of induction, all of which failed. It turns out I can't actually birth vaginally as my pelvis is too small for babies heads so im glad I didn't try a 4th method and keep tormenting myself. Thankfully Amelia coped well with all induction attempts but still needed forceps as she was trying to move into my birth canal 🥹

I had such an overall positive experience in Derby Royal and im just so grateful to have my angel in my arms 💖

Baby’s movement

I’m at a loss as to what to do. Baby’s movements don’t have a patten and never have I’m 33 weeks and Iv been in 5 times now for reduced movement/ non movement. Each time I have gone in baby has been fine and starting kicking away when I got there.

Movements again are reduced Iv tried all the usual stuff and it’s not worked. I just feel like I’m wasting there time as when I get there baby goes to town. How much is to much in regards with movements when will the doctors intervene and do something ?
