May 2027 Babies 🇬🇧

Wait between 12 and 20 week scan

Hi ladies, I’ve had my 12 weeks scan and all looked ok. I don’t know how I’m going to manage 8 weeks without a scan?! I’ve already had a lot of anxiety from this pregnancy as it’s been a really difficult journey. How do you guys manage and get reassurance that baby is ok? Any advice would be appreciated! Xx

You can book in for private scans, they usually range from about £40 - £100 worth look up for reassurance

I just get a private one which are lovely if you can budget.

We booked a private scan at 16 weeks last time to find out the gender earlier and will do the same again this time. They also check health of baby. Helps break it up a bit x

Private scans are worth it for peace of mind.

Thank you guys! I will look into paying for a scan. Any places you recommend?

We go to peekababy £49 for a scan which is quite reasonable and lots of photos included.

I also went to window to the womb which was £100 and I only got one image! X

Window to the womb has been the most shockingly poor service I think I’ve ever encountered and I’ve been having scans twice a week for two years pretty much all over the country and abroad and I would never use them again.

Ideal party time? (Help please)

I am trying to plan my daughter’s birthday party for when she turns 2. The play area I want to book offers 1 hour 45 min slots at either 13:30 or 15:45. There will be children mainly around the age of 2, but others ages 1-3 as well. I know nap times will vary, and most live less than 30 mins away. Which time do you all think sounds preferable?

Positive induction stories

Hi everyone! I’m currently 37+2 and getting induced in 2 days time due to recurrent reduced fetal movement. Hoping to hear some positive induction stories of anyone who’s gone through it before? I was hoping to be able to go naturally before then, but midwife couldn’t do a sweep today as not even 1cm 😭

How are you getting on with your partner?

I feel at constant loggerheads at the moment, all we do is argue and get angry each other. It’s completely down to sleep deprivation and stress but this doesn’t make it any easier when thinking about it. Just want things to go back to normal.
