No scan after 37 weeks?

Hi, I had my midwife appointment today. It was a different one again as mine is still off sick. She said baby is measuring slightly under average and that they don't do growth scans this late in pregnancy (37 weeks tomorrow). Im confused because I thought they check if anything is up with measurements? She just said...

Scared of having mammoth baby!

Hi 👋 I'm coming up 36 weeks and totally paranoid that I'm going to have a huge baby! This is baby number 2, my 1st was a cute 7lbs but this time around I feel so different. I haven't been eating as well as I was with my first (which I'm feeling very guilty about), I also am a bit bigger this time around. Movements…

Kind of stressing

So I’ve been told by everyone including my OB that my baby is relatively large. My peers constantly tell me how big I am and how much I look like I’m about to pop and truthfully speaking I can’t wrap my head around getting any bigger in the next 2 months. I’ve been told this my entire pregnancy how much bigger I loo...

6 week check

So I'm currently almost 9 weeks post partum and I've not had my 6 week check yet? I thought the GP practice was supposed to send you a letter with your appointment but I've not received anything? What happeneds during it? Is it worth me contacting my GP practice?

Had an early scan today I've been feeling so anxious but everything was looking good a heart beat seen. I'm 6+6 according to my last period, baby measured 7 weeks. Was an internal scan too. Found the internal scan more comfortable than a normal ultrasound. They gave me the option for what scan I wanted but due to ha...

Echogenic bowel at 20 week scan?

Has anybody had this come up on their 20 week scan? I’ve already had the test for downs and it came back as less than 1 in 5000. We have no family history of Cystic Fobrosis but have been referred to fetal medicine for blood tests and a further appointment? Trying not to freak out.

Bad ultrasound experience

I’m 12w6d today and was excited to get a new ultrasound. My first one at 8w was transvaginal and I didn’t have to do anything beforehand to prep. Today, however, I wasn’t given any pre-visit instructions so I didn’t realize I needed to have a full bladder for an abdominal ultrasound. I peed when I left the house ju...

My induction is scheduled for April 8th for a c section and I am extremely stressed about how accurate the weight is. Any advice or experience with these crazy measurements would be helpful. I...

Is this normal? Helpppp

I had a 32 week growth scan and the baby was about 3lbs 11 which they said was perfectly normal. However, I am just out of my 36 week scan and they’ve said that she is now measuring about 6lbs 12?!? I don’t know if this is normal but I feel as though this is a high number and significant jump within 4 weeks. I...

Too much water surrounding twin?

Hi everyone! We had a scan today (25w) and twin 1 has more fluid than normal surrounding her (9.9% more than twin 2) Twin 2 had a normal amount of fluid. Has anyone else had this? I should’ve asked what it means but didn’t think to ask! Back next week to monitor. They’ve told me not to worry but genuinely curiou...

Age of Baby

According to LMP, I should be in my 8th week. I don't have my first appointment with my OBGYN until next week, but I went to a private ultrasound place yesterday and she said baby looks 7 weeks, maybe 6 because baby looks small, but we did see the hearbeat flicker. I am wondering if this has happened to anyone else ...
