20 week scan

I had my 20 week scan yesterday, and have been told that I’ll have a re scan next week due to the position of baby and couldn’t get a clear image of the heart. Has anyone else had this problem? And how long did it take for them to give you a new appointment?

I had the same thing at my 20 week scan, was rescanned at 22 weeks

This is really common, not a worry.

I had exactly the same and had a scan two weeks later, they do the second scan quickly because it has to be done before 23 weeks so you should hear really quickly. They were very reassuring for us and said no signs of anything bad just that they need specific pictures that they couldn't get. Good luck hope it's all ok.

Is this a bloody show or am I bleeding?

Maybe tmi but I was having what I thought was Braxton hicks last 2 days but more intense last night then went to toilet had bit of blood. More this morning. I'm due up in hospital for a scan today anyway as baby was transverse at last scan. Don't really remember bloody show last time. This is baby num 4. Husband in England for work and not due home to late tomorrow night so worried he will miss birth. Pains have stopped now apart from bit of period cramps

What should I do?

I was really hoping for a natural birth but went for a scan at 37 weeks and he’s estimated to be 8.5lbs currently. They said if I carry on to 40 weeks, he’ll be over 11lbs. They’ve talking about induction and c- section but I didn’t want either but I also know if I decline, he’s probably going to be too big to push out naturally anyway. I’m at a loss here 😩

6 week check up

Did anyone else expect that they would be asked how they are feeling/healing as well as the baby’s development/check up at 6 weeks?

Not sure if I was a bit naive expecting the doc to ask about how I was doing after forceps / episiotomy birth.. and if stitches had healed ok?
