clearblue said 3+ when i thought i was 5 weeks exactly (took it 1 week 4 days ago!) but my ultrasound measures me at 5 weeks 5 days?

baby should have measured bigger since it means i got the 3+ (at least 5 weeks) at 4 weeks 2 days??? 🤔

9 week scan, fluid around neck

I had a private reassurance scan today as my anxiety has been horrific the last few weeks. Everything was really positive apart from the sonographer mentioned some excess fluid behind the baby’s neck.

Breech baby

Hi ladies,went for my 32 week scan today.. my daughter is over the 95th centile and breech. They’ve said if she doesn’t turn by 36 weeks I’ll have to have a c-section. Would they do the c-section at 36 weeks or will I have to wait till 38/39 weeks?

Really worried about tender lump

I have noticed a lump within my overhang but above my scar on my left side feels like a golf ball. I do not have this on my right side. The right side is soft and normal. I have terrible health anxiety and I’m so so scared. It’s my second section and I don’t recall having this with my first. I’m going to call the GP...
